Well, Keeper and Ref have done wrong. Ref for dropping ball before either team is ready. Keeper for not knowing he cannot score without ball touching another player off of a drop ball. No goal. Goal kick restart.

I'm curious how others treat this from a timing perspective. I tend to allow the fallen player a brief amount of time to get up, if they make an immediate attempt to stand up, I will expect others to delay kicking at ball in that period. Any delay for advantage and I will call PIADM. I do this...

Probably need to be clear on whose drop kick can they be offside on. If you are on opposing team of the keeper making the kick, you cannot be offside. If you are on same team as keeper making the kick, you can be offside. Given that the payer in question is just starting with the offside...

My take is that once the defender plays the ball, it takes out interference with play and player. If the attacker is rushing so close to the defender that the attacker is more or less "immediate" with deliberate play by defender, then he/she is interfering with player. Which is what what I...

We're making a few assumptions on this play and that is what "social lurker" is referring to. Situation 1: Ball came to 2nd last defender from defending team. No offside as play didn't originate from attacking team. Situation 2: Ball came to 2nd last defender from attacking team. a...

What I've been practicing based upon things I've read in http://www.askasoccerreferee.com/ is to avoid saying anything UNLESS you are making the restart ceremonial. The minute you start yelling to move back to 10 yards, the defense can be confused into thinking the kick is ceremonial. I avoid...

I hate those plastic ones too so just did search and found: https://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Goal-Leather-Referee-Wallet/dp/B0026OO3AG#customerReviews https://www.refereestore.com/leather-referee-wallet-with-pencil-score-sheets/

My understanding is "no". They would continue the KFTM short and so a short team could be on 2nd round while larger team is still finishing first round. This is based upon an older position paper but I'm not familiar w/ any change (see http://www.askasoccerref.com/docs/KFTM_Checklist.pdf [see...

Disagree. My understanding is that you reduce to equate at the start of KFTM. However, if there is an injury or send-off, then you just continue the shoot-out ensuring that there are no repeat kickers until all kickers have kicked

Fully agree with this. if I'm to involve myself with the free-kick in any way, I will make clear that the FK is a ceremonial restart by announcing it and pointing to my whistle. If I move back a wall, the defense would be justified in believing it is a ceremonial restart, so I try to make...

I'd agree with this but would also say that a failure to attempt to play the ball (even if standing still) would be impeding as well. Imagine the tactic of having 4 attackers (one on each side of goalie, up tight on goalie to prevent movement). If all 4 box in the goalie and fail to move to...

To me, the defending team has no "right" to a wall. If the offended team wants 10 yards over a quick restart, I move back 10 yards and once I move away to observe the restart, I whistle so the offended team can restart at their convenience. The defending team has no right other than to to not...

Case 1: In this case, supposedly the player had an opportunity to play the advantage and it just turned out poorly. The advantage was played so I'd call a goal. That being said, it sounds like advantage is applied deep in the defensive half of the field and I would tend to question making...
