I think you have that logic wrong santa . The lotg lists ALL the offences not the other way around. In some cases it lists non-offences for clarifications. For example it doesn't say rabona is not an offence and we know it is not. Anything not listed in lotg as an offence is not and offence. Of course somethings are left to the referees opinion.Where in the LotG does it say it is not an offence to try to trick your opponent into believing a corner has not been taken in order to gain an advantage and score a goal?
this is a matter of opinion but I and most other referees would not consider it USB give that lotg clarifies "Feinting to take a free kick to confuse opponents is permitted as part of football." I don't see a corner being any different.I have YC for USB under "shows a lack of respect for the game"
It's not feinting to take a free kick. It's trying to trick opponents into believing the ball is not in play when it is.I think you have that logic wrong santa .

And the purpose of feinting to take a free kick is to try to trick the opponent into believing the ball has been kicked or is being kicked in a certain way when it hasn't. The aim of both actions is deceiving the opponent. The law clearly says one is not USB. If the other is USB comes down to the opinion of the referee and as I mentioned IMO and I think most other referees the OP scenario is not USB.It's not feinting to take a free kick. It's trying to trick opponents into believing the ball is not in play when it is.
And that is why the word in the 15/16 change, "clearly" was added to "clearly moves" to make it easier for the defenders (and referees) to know when the ball is in play. If the ball has clearly moved by an opponent's foot after being placed in corner area and the defenders are still 'tricked' into believing the ball is not in play, then my opinion is they should smarten up.The is similar to the old "player touches corner ball and walks away, leaving team-mate to briefly pretend the ball isn't in play, but then dribbles the ball." My understanding was that this scenario (that quite a few people asked about on this forum) caused a lot of discussion. My understanding is that it was USB/YC - and that the laws were clarified "kicked and clearly moves" to clear it up.
