Goal. Can't find the exact location in the LotG, but it is indeed a goal if an indirect free kick is touched by a second player (attacking/defending/ and enters the goal.

I can see VAR in my 2017/18 edition. Ah can see it's only mentioning a very top line 'this is being tested' etc

Here's a link http://theifab.com/document/for-football-bodies (choose the second one down) which contains the law modifications for next season. A fair number of them. VAR was included in the LOTG book from 2017/18 as far as I remember

I received a copy when completing my course, I assumed this was standard but evidently maybe not. As JamesL mentioned, it's worth holding back on ordering one. There are a good number of modifications to the laws this year

Touche, Touche :redcard:

You both have correct points. On my higher level assistant matches, this is always discussed in the pre-match discussion. Track the second to last defender (to be picky you've mentioned tracking the last defender which is technically incorrect ;)) unless the ball has been played or ends up...

I'll assume it was this, what should've been a red card at 0:26, and a penalty at 1:45. Unfortunately it doesn't have the second VAR instance that one has mentioned.

Interesting to see a difference in requirements. I'm on month 5 now and a few games into my promotion requirements for 6. Hoping to go the double to Level 5, but my line commitments may prevent me from hitting the 40 game mark.

Not at our CFA. A level 7 who qualifies in February can apply straight for promotion. Not the best way to do it, but no requirement from the previous season

What are we thinking on this one?

Some really good points in there that I've started using. I initially thought talking to yourself wouldn't make a difference, but after the last couple of lines I've run where I've used it I won't go back to not talking to myself. Some odd looks from the players/fans at some points but they get...

Thanks Ciley, that's the exact situation I was getting confused with.

Hi all, Had a game where I flagged for an offside, ref in the middle hasn't seen it so I've kept the flag up. Defending team then commit an offence, leading to a direct free kick, before the ref has seen my offside flag. My understanding is that in this case it should be a free kick, as the...

For me, this was the first match I've watched and I categorically thought this is not how you manage a game. The initial flurry of cards was harsh for both sides, and then completely inconsistent for the second half

Defending player even dropped the ball to where the original foul was, will definitely be allowing that one

I'm sure I've read that only the attacking team have the right to request that the required distance is enforced for a wall, but I can't find it anywhere. As long as this scenario is definitely for a "ceremonial" free kick where we've mentioned it can be taken on the whistle, I would agree...

As @RustyRef has mentioned you should be going out on the pitch knowing the laws, meaning you should fly through the exam. If you're not confident then it's time to grab the good book out and then pop onto areferee.com to test that knowledge

There isn't an obligation, and neither did I say so. Some kids don't even turn up with their parents, is there then a welfare issue before they've even started?

Similar situation myself 6 months ago. I want to go up the levels so OA is a must, though I wanted a few junior games beneath my belt first. I've made the jump into OA now, but wish I did so earlier. In junior football I found myself only making 1/2 key decisions if I was lucky. OA though is...

You should be finding out there and then who he was, ask the manager for his name. Could arguably give him a second caution for leaving the FOP resulting in a very quick red for them
