The CRUEF offences are always DFKs, regardless of whether contact is made. A high boot is PIADM, not a CRUEF offence. “A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using...

If the challenge is reckless, it is a DFK.

I mean this is playing a dangerous manner but simultaneous offences. The more serious offence is that he’s challenged his opponent with disregard to his opponent’s safety. DFK, YC (reckless). YC helps sell the foul too. If you give just a foul, you need to sell that the challenge is so bad that...

I mean we can’t have players wearing jewellery per the Laws of the Game so you gotta do what you gotta do but realistically you should be able to say whether you’re sent off or choose not to play because you won’t take your jewellery out, you’re not playing either way, the only difference is...

My instinct was YC but after considering considerations, I think that instinct was wrong. Point of contact is the back of the Achilles, mode of contact is the studs, there is no chance or attempt to fairly play the ball and it’s at least lunge adjacent. Considerations in favour of yellow card...

Now, I’ve only seen the second angle since the other is geoblocked but for me this is SFP. The point of contact is high on the shin, the mode of contact is the studs, the force used is high and the player makes full contact (i.e. it isn’t glancing contact).

“The footage showed that Alvarez’s standing foot had made slight contact with the ball just before he struck it” - I think the intern doing UEFA’s social media posts made a mistake here, I’m pretty sure it hits the planted foot after Alvarez kicks it. If this is the chronology though, is it...

If it’s red, it’s for Violent Conduct. He can’t be challenging for the ball since he has the ball.

IFAB says blatant holding can be unsporting.

For those who don’t understand the point, players must be behind the ball when the PK is taken.

You don’t want my advice on selling decisions lol but in terms of considerations, you need the, well, considerations. I don’t think they’ve been linked to before on this forum, so here’s a copy from the AFC. (https://www.footballaustralia.com.au/sites/ffa/files/2017-09/AFC...

You can appeal to the Independent Regulatory Committee.

The point of stopping play for a serious injury isn’t to prevent any disadvantage to the defending team from one of their players getting injured through no fault of the opposition, it’s to ensure player safety by allowing fast treatment. Since play has been stopped anyway, there’s no need to...

When the ball hits his hand, his arm is to his side and out behind him. I don’t see a meaningful difference to it being to his side and up with the rest of the body (at least for a ball coming from in front of him), so I don’t think he’s made himself unnaturally bigger, so no “unnatural...

If his actions resulted in the decision being correctly reviewed, then this is not simulation. If you don’t think this is VC though, then obviously you can caution for simulation.

The whole sentence is attempts to deceive by feigning injury, and again, deceive means “Act to mislead/trick the referee into giving an incorrect decision/disciplinary sanction which benefits the deceiver and/or their team”.

For anyone (I realise this doesn’t include you, DJIC), arguing for a yellow card for simulation and a red card for VC, I believe this is incorrect in law. There can’t be an attempt to deceive the referee into giving an incorrect disciplinary sanction as the correct sanction is already the...

There is contact on Guimaraes that was, in my opinion and presumably in the opinion of the referee, enough for Guimaraes to go down but not enough for a foul. Therefore, the only offence committed was the handball.

An attempted kick that anything more than petulant is a clear red card offense. Might be a cultural difference, but here in Australia, in any game I’m watching, playing or officiating, if a player attempts to kick another player when not challenging for the ball, I would expect a red card. I...

My complaint here is with the ARs. As far as I can tell, neither move to assist the R with controlling a 22-man mass-con and potentially identify the clear case of VC missed by the R.
