Thank you. I like idea of saying “minimum of”.

Had a team today who asked me how long is left? I said 30 seconds. So they sent all their team up for the corner including keeper and scored. Left me wondering, had I given them a ‘free hit’ to get the winning goal? Felt a bit unfair they could put all players in the oppo box in the knowledge...

Thanks all - helpful responses.

Hi, occurred to me today that I wasn’t aware of what to do if had to send off a manager / coach / assistant coach etc. would they be required to leave the pitch, and what could I do if they refused to budge, or, if they received a red can they stay put?

Thanks saw this but doesn’t fully explain it to my mind. For example could throw ball in from “behind and over the head” but what if this is achieved in a stunted motion?

Does anyone have any links to explain difference between a legal and illegal throw-in technique? Need to help explain to kids that ref.

Thanks all. Helpful to read the responses. Tipping point (to abuse / offensive and a red) for me was the second F Off (delivered when I was reaching for the Yellow / Sin Bin).

Thank you. To give clarity to my question, not thinking of a question type scenario, but when its abusive / offence.

Hello, would telling a ref to F*** Off twice be considered a sin bin offence or a straight red for "Use of offensive, insulting or abusive language" ?

Got it thank you. Will start doing that!

That link worked thank you. So do you have to use that signal as a ref when sin binning? If so who is the ref signaling to e.g. the managers?

Wasn’t aware of this. Is there a link to it online as struggling to visualise it?

Thanks mate. Is there a law / rule on it or just to ref’s discretion?

I was asked by player but said no. But wasn’t sure on etiquette at lower level (think it’s step 9). My understanding was no stops mid play unless head or serious injury and otherwise stops in between play for other injuries but not to do laces.

Hi, would you stop play for a player to do his laces up? I’m assuming not stopping play unless head injury but be helpful to check.

Thank you

Is a deliberate pass back that slightly deflects off an opponent permitted to be picked up by the goalkeeper? And can you tell a goalkeeper (if they ask) if they can pick up a ball (or not) from a pass back that is not obviously deliberate?

Thank you

Thank you.

Can you be offside from an indirect free kick i.e. if you receive the ball direct from the indirect free kick?
