And if they appeal?

There's no mind reading needed. The right fullback decides to switch play by squaring the ball across the penalty spot to the left fullback. You can clearly see what the intent is. The GK has a brain explosion and decides to come off his line and grab it. Now what?

..

Fair enough but I'm thinking more that he passes it across the GK so at no stage is it going to the keeper until the keeper decides to run forward and get it. Then what?

Defender decides to square the ball across the box to another defender. GK, who is in between those 2 decides to run forward a couple of metres and picks up the ball. Is this deemed a back pass as the ball wasn't 'deliberately kicked to the goalkeeper by a team-mate'? (My initial thought is...

Fair enough. In summary once the ball is 'played' (providing the attacker doesn't challenge for the ball before that) it's game on no matter where the attacker(s) are.

** Thanks for that. That was my understanding but where in that excerpt does it say that? ## Wording seem vague unless I'm reading it wrong. The way it's written it's a retake if the ball is placed and then, before the kick is taken, the attacker kicks it. (I mean that's fairly obvious and is...

Started doing more junior games recently and you get all these weird circumstances which never occur in senior football. Ref awards a free kick in the box and the GK quickly places the ball down and passes it to a defender who is standing next to him in the box. There is also an attacker in the...

Player A is in an offside position to start with when ball is played through in front of player A. (Imagine long thorough ball). Player A gets on his skates and is after it. Defender chases Player A. AR doesn't flag because Player A has yet to become 'active'. AR holds flag down and runs down...

Kiwis dudded.

If I'm reading that Dutch link correctly. If a defender leaves the field, accidentally, he's counted as on the line, no YC If a defender leaves the field, on purpose, he's counted as on the line, and he gets a YC. And the case for the attackers? (in simple terms for a gumby like me)

Hahaha. So good.

How is that a FK to the GK if the GK pushed the striker? (In the second example.) What are we pinning on the striker here?

Just wondering what would happen if the GK picked the ball up from a through ball (and is now standing still) and then because he thought the striker was getting a bit uppity running so close to him leant over and collected him with his shoulder as he passed by. I'm thinking a solid hit not just...

My only problem with that is the player that falls over actually gets to the ball first. I can see if white had gotten the ball first and then there was a collision then you might say well bad luck, blue ran into white, keep playing. Tricky one.

Interested in the thoughts as to why the shout for a pen wasn't given. Incident is at about the 39 second mark. Just want to understand the rationale if there was one. FWIW there was a VAR review but the ref stuck with his call. Fair play to him for backing himself.

Thanks gents for the comments.

Hahahaha. Awesome.

Refereeing whinge. Obviously can't stop progress but because of the cheap availability of video software all of the first grade and reserve grade games in the town I'm in are all now recorded by the clubs. Of course that means all match incidents can now be screenshotted or sent as little video...

I can see we're going to agree to disagree. I can't see how anywhere else on the field that wouldn't be foul. Take that tackle and put it outside the 18 where the player is shooting and then gets wiped out afterwards and tell me that wouldn't be given as a foul.
