    Milan vs Napoli - Offside?

    18:30 is close to the score and the review. Has to be the player on the ground still involved with play. The announcers were saying handball, but they are not noticing the referee's hand raised for an indirect free kick...offsides, not a DFK.

    Missed handball for penalty (probably)

    "I was pretty certain that given the responses that it was handball." I don't trust players claiming handball, throw-in direction, foul, etc. Officiating games or watching them, even the obvious correct call is contradicted by every opposing player. Don't let players dictate a call you...

    Keeper Releasing the ball

    The LOTG provides the referee the authority to issue a yellow card for a handball. If the referee determines that it is USB or PI , a YC can be issued. No myth exists since it is in the law. Throwing the ball downwards is not a foul throw if the thrower: 1. Stands facing the field of play, 2...

    Keeper Releasing the ball

    The YC doesn't have to be issued if a referee believes that game control can be done with a simple warning. I have been taught some actions will warrant either a warning or a card depending on severity of the action. The videos of my training of FKs goes over within 10, retreating or not...

    Keeper Releasing the ball

    Neymar received a yellow card. Why did the referee give the card? He just kicked the ball while it was in the air, between the keeper's release and their attempt to kick it. Dangerous play? That's not an automatic YC. Just an IDFK. Interfering is an infringement resulting in an IDFK...

    Keeper Releasing the ball

    I deleted the video since it cant be used here. Neymar steals ball from keeper attempting to put the ball in play and scores. Yellow card. Is it automatically a YC for preventing a GK putting the ball in play? No. Is it unsporting behavior? Yes. Is the YC needed for game control...

    Feint at a PK

    Personally, the kicker should start at the top of the penalty arc and the keeper can move when the ball moves. The kicker can touch it more than once and move in. All players still stay out of the PA. The ball cant leave the PA and a play clock of 5 seconds begins when the ball moves (shot...

    Be aware!

    Zidane. When the top referees miss that, I don't feel bad when I don't have a 4th referee, referees in a booth, and TV broadcasters.

    Did I handle this right?

    The fact you are asking yourself questions to better your game shows your maturity as a referee. Sounds like you handled it great. Your next similar experience, you may do it again, or choose another action. For me, the three P's: personal, provocative, and public. Is it direct, meant to...

    First hearing

    If you didn't see it, hear it, know it, it happens. I had a coach send a trashcan flying on the side of the field. I was the center ref and my ARs didnt know about until after the game. Two coaches for the next game told me after their game (I was the AR for game two, opposite side). So, an...

    Referee Award at the Ballon D'Or?

    Who would dare claim to be another Pierluigi?

    Practice theory exams?

    Before the test, can you ask for a frame of reference of the host of the matches? This way, knowing which host, you'd know whether to go by the LOTG or the owner wants a different outcome changing your answers.

    Parent Asst Referee Behavior

    Always check the laws, modifications, and rules for matches. Some of mine require, not suggest, that I go to coaches to handle their parents. My other game assignments, I am to handle the parents. It depends on the organizations. I had coaches agree with bad parents so we dont go to the...

    Does anybody else love the (sometimes) thrill?

    I have submitted all my cards and reports. It was taught on day 1 of classes. Every year, the cards and reports are taught. I have a great referee training group. I know refs that dont want to give cards because the reports, to them, are a hassle. I had the pleasure of being one of their...

    Jimenez Double Yellow

    The referee, having completed the sanction, was required to whistle the restart. The offense was wrong to take the kick without a referee whistle. That earns a warning at least if not a card. If the referee had carded for delay of game before the kick, I'd agree. The restart was illegal and...

    Jimenez Double Yellow

    Why cant they block the pass from a free kick taken quickly? It's in the law of offenses and sanctions. "If a player takes a free kick quickly and an opponent who is less than 9.5m from the ball intercepts it, the referee allows play to continue. If the complaint is the defender didn't...

    Delaying the Restart

    If he delayed the restart, the card is before the kick. The card came after the intercept.

    Keeper you ready?

    I do for recreational clubs. They are there having fun. Competitive games? No. Just check both teams have their players and the keepers aren't still adjusting their gloves. Its kind of like substitutes. Do you show the same consideration by delaying the start so the player is in position...

    Hold on tight

    Wonder why I have safety pins on my soccer equipment bag? I had the elastic band in my shorts snap. Realizing dropping my shorts as a center referee is not proper decorum, safety pins are a must.
