1. Stop the penalty, yell at the home manager to tell the PA guy to stop that. Take the penalty. Write it in your match report. 2. Sure. I guess you could compare it to if the striker pushed up on the defender to get higher for the header, but this seems more like protecting his face than trying to use the other person for leverage. 3. No goal. Drop ball at the point where the insanity occurred. Cry because it's going to be ugly.

1.) Play on, note in match report. 2.) No goal, indirect kick for the defense from the spot of the foul or outside the 6 yard box because the striker put himself in a dangerous position and therefore it's dangerous play 3.) Play on, it's just another day in MLS. Remember that not only do you have to get the foul right but also the correct restart.

1. Let the kick go ahead, put it in your report 2. Striker's put himself in a dangerous position, free kick to the defending team 3. Goal, it's karma or something.

Stop! Hackett time!quote:1) You cannot intervene here during the game: the kick has to be taken, whatever anyone in the stadium is shouting. Calm everyone down and allow the kick to go ahead, but before restarting the game advise the home team's officials that the incident will be reported, and that they need to make sure there is no repeat. Thanks to Michael Bromhall. I think I mis-read #2 when I first saw it; I thought it was another variation on the old "ball kicked at face at point-blank range and instinctively uses hands to defend himself" chestnut. Now I actually read the question, it's a much simpler solution. There's also a competition! quote:Christmas competition: win a special one-off prize by sending us the most original question in the 55-year history of You are the Ref.

Given that Hackett's said they've received questions in the past like "What would you do if there was a pitch invasion, by aliens" that should be a very tough contest

I'm putting my answers without reading Hackett yet, then I'm going to go back and see if I'm right. 1. Allow PK to go on, note in match report that PA guy tried to psych out kicker. Note it in the report, but I don't see this being much different from fans yelling at a player. 2. It can't be a goal, as he hand-balled it in to the net. Since Hackett says waist-level, it's not a dangerously high on the defender's part. It's going to be ugly, but disallow goal, IFK from where striker touched the ball, and talk to defender. If it's a dangerously high kick, yellow card the defender. Also, if you don't have the service where you can start your car remotely and have it unlock with a proximity key, call it in during some slow play so you can get the gently caress out while running away from the field post match. Give a note to one of your ARs with your last will and testament, and tell him to give it to your family should you not make it. 3. The foul on the defender holding the player who DIDN'T head it in is separate from the foul by the offense, even though they're at the same time. I would think it's like having somebody who is massively offside but never involved in the play - if an onside player scores on his own. It's a cluster-gently caress, but it's either an IFK for the defense, or a PK for the attacking team, since a foul was committed in the box. I'm guessing Hackett's answer is drop ball, but - I don't think you could ever say that it's the "same exact time" - you have a DOGSO by the defender, and a foul by the attacking player. I'd probably let it stand if it wasn't terrible, or allow a PK for the DOGSO by the defender. EDIT - poo poo, I was half right on #3...a drop ball on the 6' is just going to get you murdered, but again - if you're making a call and sticking with it, I would think that you could call for a PK as one of your options, but since you want to focus on the person who ended up actually connecting the header, yeah....free kick to defending team. Run.....run as fast as you can.

I'm trying to work something out with time travel from a black hole appearing on the pitch.

Here's a poo poo question one of you can send in if you feel like it: "A goalie miss-kicks a goal kick, sending the ball slowly spinning out of the penalty area. Since it's the dying minutes of a game, the only field player near the goal is the other teams' striker. Before the ball exits the penalty area to him, however, the goalie runs up and picks up the ball. The opposing team is outraged. What now?" It's probably pretty easy now that I think about it.

During the game you notice that one of the managers is a Jedi and has been subtly manipulating the ball and linesmen to garner an unfair advantage. You approach to reprimand him and he informs you that he is not the manager you are looking for. What do you do next?

You Are The Ref: The dying stages of the game, you suddenly realise you're a grown man wearing shorts shepherding a bunch of 21-year old millionaires with no education whilst they kick a ball at each other, on some grass. Your youth is gone, your dreams are dead, your life is not special. There is nothing but the tide of sadness as you realise that this is all there is. What now?

Hoops posted:You Are The Ref: Restart life with an indirect free kick. I initially wrote this: quote:A player you already cautioned in the first half, has now picked up his second card in the second half. At that moment, his exact double streaks onto the field, completely nude and covered in a layer of ooze. He claims he is the original player, and the opposing team introduced this sophisticated clone at half-time, without anyone else's knowledge. When pressed, the manager admits he has been producing abominations. What do you do? But I ended up erasing it and writing something about wearing Santa hats.

"A manager fields a team including identical octuplets. Twenty minutes in, one of your linesmen informs you that several of them have been switching jerseys back and forth when your back is turned, and none of you have any idea who is who anymore for yellow card purposes. What do you do?" "A player registers his shirt number as pi to one million decimal places, and the numbers on his jersey get so small that you cannot tell what they are. How many digits do you know by memory to write in your book when he is cautioned?"

"Whilst playing a game in a closed stadium, the mechanics for the roof fail and it opens, unleashing a torrent of blood-rain. All the player's shirts are covered with the blood of the innocent, as are the spares. However, a passing merchant happens to have exact replicas of the 1940s shirts, which share the same colours, and is willing to part with them for your first born son. Your linesmen informs you that he is the anti-Christ, and this is the beginning of the apocalypse, however the two managers wish to play on. What do you do?" That got a bit weird.

Not my finest work, but my submission: You've been assigned a major mid-tier regional derby game, with reputation for attracting a rough crowd that uses foul language and is known to rush the pitch. In the 88th minute the score is tied at 1-1, and the away team is lined up for an indirect free kick just outside the penalty area. The kick-taker sends a beautiful cross to a completely unmarked striker, which much to your surprise performs a fancy-free sideways cartwheel and uses the bottom of his boots to tap the ball in to the top corner of the net. He lands on his side and begins celebrating upon seeing his amazing strike's result. In a bizarre twist, the striker's jersey has accidentally fallen off his body while cartwheeling the ball in to the net. You see that he's now performing his signature ballet celebration dance down the touchline, shirtless, further inciting an already raucous home crowd. The striker is already on a yellow for dissent, and you're shocked to hear the crowd chanting "Nancy boy!" as he pirouettes down the touchline. The defending team surround you, furious, demanding that you disallow the goal for dangerous play and issue a second yellow to the striker for removing his jersey. Your look to your linesman who shrugs and simply runs back to the midline, but points back to the striker. You see that he's now put his shirt back on, which shockingly has "Nancy" on the back above his number. His last name is Nancy. You're in a real pickle here. You are the Ref - what do you do?

Your linesman has recently begun taking evening classes on quantum mechanics and with his newfound knowledge of the ambiguity of space and time says that the Heisenberg principal limits his true knowledge of offside and refuses to participate in this Newtonian illusion we have built for ourselves.
