Tricky Referee Decisions
Aug 24th
Here are a few more tricky decisions that any person who coaches or knows the game should be able to answer
Question
A defender takes a throw in and throws the ball back to his goalkeeper. The ball goes directly into the goal before the goalkeeper touches it. Is it a goal?
Answer
No goal. A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw in. In this case a corner kick is awarded to the opposition team.
Question
Would it be in order for the kicker to remove the corner flag post before taking a corner kick?
Answer
No the corner area provides ample room for player to take a corner kick. The flag post it must not be removed.
Question
If a player take a corner kicks the ball directly against a goal post and the ball returns to the kicker may he then play again?
Answer
The corner taker may not play the ball a second time until it has been touched by another player. An indirect free kick is awarded from them where the ball was played for the second time by the kicker.
Question
If the ball goes directly into the goal from a corner would the goal be allowed?
Answer
Yes
More >Do you know the Football Rules
Aug 23rd
There are lots of rules and laws in football. One of the main laws that any kind of physical conduct relates to is covered in Law 12, which is concerned with Fouls and Misconduct
When one considers Law 12 – Fouls and Misconduct the law seems mainly concerned with punishing the players. However Law 12 is really at the heart of the game.
The three basic principles of the spirit of the game are clearly exposed in this law. These being:
Equal opportunity: for all players to demonstrate their skills, is provided by severely restricting the degree of physical challenges for possession of the ball. To play fairly requires players to avoid challenges which are careless reckless or involve excessive force.
Safety: is evident in protecting players from dangerous play.
Enjoyment: in defining actions which are unacceptable in providing a healthy fair and exciting sport.
Lord 12 comprises three parts.
Major offences - direct free kick awarded.
Other offences – in direct free kick awarded.
Misconduct offences - caution or dismissal

Question
From an indirect free kick the ball strikes the cross bar hits the goalkeeper and bounces over the goal line would this be a goal
Answer
Yes. Because the ball was last played by a player other than the kicker before entered the goal
Question
Is the goal keeper allowed to move before the ball is kicked?
Answer
Yes the goalkeeper is allowed to move. But only along the goal line. Not towards the ball
Question
Would a goal will be allowed if the ball strikes the crossbar or goalpost and returns to the kicker who then kicks it into the goal.
Answer
A goal would not be allowed because the kicker must not play the ball
a second time until it has been touched by another player. The referee would award an indirect free kick against the kicker.
Question
The referee has extended time to allow a penalty kick to be taken. If the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper to the kicker, who scores will the goal be allowed?
Answer
No. The game ends the moment the goalkeeper prevents the ball from entering the goal
