This is a proposition that happened to a friend.  During a game u r reffing, and the player throwing the ball n crosses the touch line with one foot only (ball is still behind line), you call a bad throw in.  The administrator of the league is watching and says no thats a legal throw in, rethrow.  Who is right u or the administrator?

Yes there are rules like you can't kick the ball and have it go out of the playing area on the full, if a ball crosses the line and the umpire deems it was done on pourpose you give away a free, No tackle below the waist or above the shoulders, to pay a mark the bal has to travel at least 15m, when a person marks the ball unneccesary contact on them gives them 50m penalty (take the kick 50m further up the field, if inside your forward 50 the kick from the top of the goal square) you can also only run 15m before the ball must make contact the ground (ussually bounced)\n\nThat is all I can be bothered saying ther are any hundreds of rules and regulations. look for umpiring sites to find the rest

You asked a ton of questions! Here goes.\n\n1. It is not a foul if you hit the ball away from opponent's hand, assuming you only made initial contact with the ball, and not the opponent's hand nor other body parts in the process.\n\n2. Player with ball can not push the opponent. \n\n3. Player can attempt to take the ball away from any position, assuming they only make initial contact with the ball, and don't make contact with the ball holder's hand, body, etc.\n\n4. Kicking the ball accidently results in a stoppage of play. The team that did not kick the ball gets possession.  It is not considered a personal foul.\n\n5. It is legal, thus not a foul, to throw the ball at any bodypart of the  opponent in the hopes of it going out of bounds to maintain posession.  It would be considered good sportsmanship to try to avoid throwing the ball at the face and/or sensitive reproductive organs of the opponent.

No, I think the refereeing in the past has been bad. The players have been allowed to run wild for so long. Finally, some boundries are being set and the players are walking right over those boundries. There are consequences for such actions.\n\nIt is the PLAYER'S job to learn what will and won't be allowed, and the way these players are so slow to learn, I wonder how many brain cells they have.\n\n95% of the calls and 99% of the cards I have seen can be backed up by the Laws of the Game.

The game IS meant to be played without interruption, but we all know and can perfectly see that 1 ref having to call very tough calls in breakaways or when he is far is bad for the game. \n\nThe only place I would put replay would be on game changing calls.. like a red card or a doubtfull goal. With all the acting that goes on on the field it would be good to have somebody watching it close and with the ability to replay it. I think they should have one ref watching the game on TV and with that little microphone the central ref has he could simply ask before he pulls red cards or takes away a goal\n\nIt would take seconds more than it takes right now.. and thats doubfull because in those calls you have all the players argue with the ref anyways.. instead of using that time to argue, use it to check the play.. why not?? \n\nI think a lot of bad calls can be seen from above, better than from the field.. especially on breakaways where the ref is just trying to keep up

in response to responder #1, It was a questionable call, the Italians had twice to that point had slides where the feet were stacked and they made deliberate contact to stop the advance of the ball. One was from the side, it was just a whistle, the second, from behind was a yellow. I didnt like how the sportscasters said that there was no way it was a red, but i dont completely agree with it. Some of the officials have been great, most have been a little to antsy to give out cards. It happens.

That wasn't a rule, it was a kind of code in the past, when the keeper indicated his full control of the ball.\n\nWhen the keeper is in full control of the ball, an opponent may not challenge him, however he needs to release the ball into play not later than 6 secs. \n\nThe keepers in the past liked to bounce the ball once, before grabbing it again. They can't do that now, the moment he releases the ball from his hands, it is in play, he cannot handle it again unless, it is played by another player. \n\nFor any infringement by the keeper, an indirect kick will be awarded to the opponents where the infringement occurred, except in the 6 yard box, where the ball is placed on the 6 yard line perpendicular to where the infringement occurred.\n\nThere is an offence for charging the goalkeeper by an opponent, this happens when the keeper is in control of the ball or when he appears to be in control (when in mid-air, he rises to catch the ball but is unfairly impeded by a charge).\n\nPlay is restarted with a direct free-kick in this instance.

An underhand pass is just a different way of throwing it. It is not illegal as long as you have'nt crosssed the line of scrimmage.

The refereeing has been very inconsistent with these new rules! I'm all for cleaning up the cheap stuff and the blatant restraining penalties but I've seen lots of questionable calls on hooks, tripping and interference but then there are times, especially late in the game that they ignore obvious penalties and that needs to change!! They should also do away with the 2nd referee...that's like having 2 judges in a court case!!

It appeared that Thurston was able to ground the ball properly.\n\nAs to the ball coming of Inglis' shoulder.  That is true, the New Zealander pushed it back into Gregs shoulder.\n\nThe reason it was not awarded a try, in my himble opinion, Greg would have been classed as 'playing' or 'going' for the ball.\n\nThe rule, as well as many others, are too contentious these days.  At least 10 years ago, rules were changed to make the rules less vague.  Somewhere along the line they decided to introduce rules that are vague, and contentious.  Another example is the 'strip'.  Did the player drop it on purpose? Should the player have held onto it more (ball security)? Etc.

You only get called for sliding into others/punching people if intentional. You are only allowed to use your hands inside the 18 yard box. your are only allowed to hold the ball (distribution wise) for 6 seconds.

bum luck but sorry, Y! will not interfere with private leagues. commissioners have full jurisdiction over their leagues and have the tools to adjust any team's roster at any point for any week previous and in play....\n\nCommissioner Tools > Edit Rosters\n\nit sucks to have landed in a cheating private league but thems the breaks...public leagues usually has some lame players but at least if someone tries to cheat in there, then Y! can step in and lock their ass....Team Ducks....\n-nny

What sport and level are you talking about?  Often referees are given games by an assignor who will verify competence.

This rule does not exist today Thankfully!  A goal can not be disallowed based solely on if the offensive player was in or out of the crease.  It's based more on whether or not the goalie is able to move about freely in his crease and if the contact with the goalie is intentional or incidental.  Incidental contact with the goalie outside of the crease is allowed. And the goal will count provided the offensive player took steps to avoid the contact.  Any contact with the goalie inside the crease and the goal will not be allowed. \n\nThis is not to say that you can't stand in the crease and score a goal, all it is saying is you can't touch the goalie if you're in the crease.

ok i think you've gone a bit far with this, just because a ref missed an offside call doesn't mean that FIFA treats Africa unfairly...question what behavior? a ref making a mistake? what are they suppose to do, fine him for every time a player is only a couple inches off and he doesn't catch it? let's be realistic.

it sucks...people responded poorly to my question as well....I DON'T WANT OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED ON DURING THE GAME...let them make their bad calls..they're gonna do that anyway...but if they make a GAME deciding call and it is controversial...get the press conference and make them  defend it...and justify or apologize for the bad call...

a goalkeeper would commit foul if they didnt make contact with the ball and they catch the opposition player's feet..that would surely be a penalty if it happen inside the box..a goalkeeper would also commit a foul if they handle the ball outside the box..a free kick will be awarded on where the keeper handled the ball and mostly they would be shown a card..if it was deliberate or prevented a goalscoring oppotunity for the opposition,the keeper would surely be sent off..so what happens when the keeper handled the ball within the D?actually the pupose of the D is just to make sure every player was 10 yards away from the penalty spot when a penalty is being taken..have u seen a penalty kick before?no player would stand in it instead they stood around the semicircle..it's similar to the circle at the center of the field..when a kick off is about to be made..the opposition side must not stand inside the circle..i'm sure u noticed that right..?hence the D does not included as a penalty box..so if the keeper catches the ball there,it would be a free kick..simple right?
