I’m curious what people are averaging in the LOTG quizzes? Some of the questions are a little tricky/hard to find answers too. Am I the only one not making 100% on all of them?

I tend to get 1 or 2 'wrong' usually on the clips that involve subjective decisions. However I still find it useful to learn from those when the correct answers are released as it helps to show the FA's expectations.
 
No your not - the aim of them is to make you think. Some very unusual situations arise in the videos and text. What would help is if they showed you which questions you got wrong instead of having to re-do the test to see the corret answer.. ;)

Agree on this. Last season it showed us which we answered that were wrong. This season you have to redo the test and it shows you the answers after the second time (at least a month later obv) by which time you can't always remember which you put first time around.

I aim to get 100% every month but I have got 1 wrong on the odd month here or there.
 
There will be a proportion who may get all right, but the vast majority will get a few wrong. Anyone at 85% or above are doing ok/very well.
 
It would technically be wrong to call those LOTG questions.
That's what I was thinking, unless it is a written question where you justify your answer no exam question should have multiple possible answers. And the use of the word subjective can only really mean that multiple answers are possible.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! There’s 10 or so LOTG questions and 5 clips - which is why there’s always some subjectivity (one was about a potential foul and the restart. If you have a foul, it goes in to LOTG considerations for the restart. No foul = ignore LOTG.
Thanks everyone!!
 
Most of the video questions are very clear, of the type - Goalkeeper holding it for 12 seconds, Goalkeeper attempting to kick a bass pack in to play and then handling it, nailed on DOGSO situations, SFP straight leg lunges with considerable force and intensity

You’re right. The only video that’s really annoyed me was the one where the throw in went bizarrely more or less straight up before landing on the field. The ‘correct’ answer for that, was apparently that it was a legal throw in … despite the fact that it was clearly taken in the wrong half around 5m from where the ball went out of play :mad:

Nonetheless they still can't be classified as lotg questions unless they come with a description of sorts that speaks lotg language. For instance the SFP example says blue4 tackles yellow10 with excessive force on the blue penalty area line. Then the question asks for sanction and restart.

To give context we already know the tollerance for physical challenges is much higher in England than many other countries which could impact the answer to the question.
 
If you have the IFAB app, a lot of the questions are actually taken from there, so you can find the answers relatively easily. Given that there is no time limit, it's essentially an open book exam, so I'd use all resources available to you to ensure you're getting 100%

@reffl95 knows.

To be clear always use the ones in the app, there are often ones knocking around the internet that are no longer relevant/up to date.

I'm doing well this year but in previous years I've got the odd 1 or 2 wrong.
 
The FA's LOTG game tests remind be of going to Gala Bingo, only difference being, you win something if you get lucky down the Bingo Hall. Or you might tap up with an OAP cos the women outnumber the men

Just needs an A-Z or a Search Engine now 😂

If you're on about the one I'm thinking of... I still don't know if this is considered a legal throw in or whether it was the fact that the opposition immediately won the ball and began an attack... and as we know the IFAB Q&A suggests we can play advantage from a non-legal throw in. 😆

the one that irritated me more despite getting it correct was when another thrower attempted to steal about 20 yards and take a throw in in front of the opposition dugout and a TA occupant stuck his arm out to try to stop him taking it. Outcome = delaying restart of opposition red card, but in reality the actual outcome would be 'you f*ck off back down there and take the throw in where the ball actually went out, and you don't be stupid and get yourself sent off over something so little... crack on'.
