I think the point of the third question is to shut up some smart rear end talking about the display of slogans being illegal during celebrations. In my opinion, the spirit of that law is to stop the display of slogans that would incite. The advertising boards have in theory been approved already as non-inciting so what would be the issue.

Perhaps if he instead insulted the competitors of his sponsors you'd have something, but still. Play the loving game.

1. Penalty. And I'm thinking send both defender and keeper off, as it's two separate fouls.

2. No. You likely haven't checked out his new shirt, and it will probably be too long to do so as well as it makes you look biased. You don't need that poo poo right before a shootout. If he wants to change his shirt so bad, have someone punch him in the face so he bleeds on it.

3. Play on, and yell at your assistant for being an idiot. I don't think it's unsporting.

1. Do nothing except reporting it to the league after, because there are usually competition rules against players complaining about refs. But being a competition rule, it's not your responsibility. It's not really dissent because it's like him bitching in the locker room to his teammates, or perhaps to a TV interviewer.

2. Play advantage and then caution, show red, abandon. The reason to play advantage first is because the league decides what to do about it, and it's probably better to give them as full a game as possible to decide.

3. Stop play, drop ball.

I mean yeah, you should generally be a little suspicious of players' intentions, cheating bastards they are, but this is a level of cynicism that is ridiculous and dangerous.

Though it makes me think, if you noticed them first, you'd stop play, right? Even if the action is currently moving away from the scissors? I see it sucks to stop play if no one is in immediate danger, but if they come back on the counter and then you stop play it's even worse. I feel like if you think it's dangerous, stop play as soon as you've decided it's dangerous.

1. If padding is good, and there's little chance of it being a choking hazard, and the physio is really fine with it, then I guess it's OK. Somehow I doubt all of that is true. Though I'd really want a real honest to God doctor who isn't going to have a possible perverse interest like the physio to tell me it's not a bad idea.

2. Goal, yellow, tell the defender he's pretty clever.

3. If it is somehow not reckless, free kick. It's likely reckless, so second yellow, sending off.

Surely if it's not reckless then it's not a foul at all. The scenario states that it was unintentional, so unless it was unnecessarily dangerous (reckless), then it's not a foul. I reckon it would be a case of stopping play so the injured player can be seen to (the vlood would necessitate this?) and restart with a dropped ball.

Checking the Laws, there seems to be a distinction made for what gets a direct free kick versus an indirect free kick. Directs get given for doing an offense in a way that is "careless, reckless or using excessive force", while indirects can be given for "play[ing] in a dangerous manner". Cautions seem to require "unsporting behaviour".

So I guess no card is on the table unless you consider the showboating to be at the level of unsporting. It could be a direct or an indirect based on recklessness. And I guess it's arguable if it's playing in a dangerous manner, but I definitely think so.

Sonic H posted:

Surely by virtue of this alone it's a yellow card? Malice or otherwise it's dangerous play.

I was confused, because careless and reckless were both mentioned on the direct free kick. But the interpretation of the law says:

Law 12 interpretation posted:

“Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the
danger to, or consequences for, his opponent.
• A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned

I guess my fault was in assuming that dangerous play was a level above reckless.

Here's what it says for careless:

Law 12 Interpretation posted:


“Careless” means that the player has shown a lack of attention or
consideration when making a challenge or that he acted without precaution.
• No further disciplinary sanction is needed if a foul is judged to be careless

1. Send off the sub for unsporting behavior with a straight red. Perhaps alone entering the pitch would only be a yellow, but entering and attempting to manipulate the game is unsporting. Restart with a penalty.

2. Yellow to striker for dissent, red to keeper for attacking a player. Restart with a free kick for the defending team for offside. I don't think you can award a penalty or free kick to the attacking side since play ended due to your whistle.

(Though hasn't he said that "oh, oops, I obviously made a mistake blowing the whistle, play was still on" is a reasonable conclusion before?)

3. Spirit of the no-shirt rule says second yellow once play comes to an end since it's an attempt to incite. I think though, that rule only applies to goal celebrations by the letter. I'd give him a talking to once play ended and then get chewed out by my boss. Either way, I'm not stopping play.

Isn't it technically about "inciting the crowd" which he definitely is here by "celebrating wildly infront of his fans".

Yeah, it is, but it's mentioned particularly in reference to goal celebrations in the interpretation of Law 12 (Check page 118). It's not a rule against inciting the crowd in general, it only appears in reference to goal celebrations. Being a smart-rear end, you could say, it's not a goal celebration, so therefore the rule does not apply. I think spirit-wise, it does.

And I was stupid with number 1, unsporting is only a yellow. However,

Law 12 posted:

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following seven offences:

denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player's goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick

It doesn't matter a whit that the guy in 1 is a sub, it's a straight red.

e: f,b because I was blinded by Rooney.

e2: And yeah, penalty kicks mention players only, not subs as LOOK I AM A TURTLE said. In fact, so do the free kicks, and I guess you have to do a drop ball.

1. I'm not sure if the hat being knocked off was a deliberate action by the attacker. If it was, yellow for unsporting behavior, disallow goal, free kick for the defending team. If it was an accident, sorry, bad luck. It doesn't sound reckless or careless. Goal stands.

2. Ball on the line is in the box. It's fine.

3. Looking this up, assuming the player entered before the ball went into play (I think this is what he's saying happens), the penalty is retaken. If he was somehow fast enough to encroach just as the ball moved forward putting it into play, then it would be a goal. Either way, the player is talking nonsense.

e: I'm actually not so sure if the penalty should be retaken or not in 3. If the penalty kick resulted in a goal with an attacking player breaking the rules, it is a retake. But perhaps since the penalty kick failed to be a goal, went into play and then became a goal, it should be an indirect free kick since the penalty was not a goal?

Yeah, the laws don't seem to have this exactly, but there's an entire section on if a keeper takes a corner kick, I guess in the chance your keeper is the only player worth a drat on the entire team:

The Laws of the Game posted:

penalty area Corner kick taken by the goalkeeper

If, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper touches the ball again (except with his hands) before it has touched another player:

an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick)
If, after the ball is in play, the goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball before it has touched another player:

a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred outside the goalkeeper's penalty area, to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick)
an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement occurred inside the goalkeeper's penalty area, to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick)
In the event of any other infringement:

the kick is retaken

So do I get this last one right? The keeper kicks it from the corner on the other side of the field, runs across the field to his box, and grabs it before anyone touches it? And we're supposed to punish him for this feat? gently caress that.

e: Actually, as I think about it, it would waste a lot of time to have the keeper come for a corner, ignore their goal, and just take it back.

I think there may be some point on refs giving strategy suggestions or such with the second one. I feel like there may be some distinction between stating a fact about the game state like how much time is left and stating strategy advice like "kick the ball out, I'm going to blow soon".

I think there also may be a point that the advice was given somewhat unprompted. If the player had asked "is the ball going out for goal kick?" that's one thing, but the wording implies that the player simply asked for advice, which suggests something like "hey, what should I do?", to which the only real answer is "Play the game for your loving self."

- I've actually seen something like this. Way back in the early days of the J-League, one of the players from the Hiroshima team left his kit at the team hotel or something and didn't have a shirt. He was a starting player as well, so what happened was a fan in the crowd offered him the replica shirt he had, which they duct taped the guy's number on to and played with that. After the game, the fan went home with a cool souvenir.

This also happened last year in MLS. Vancouver lost a few uniforms so they took replicas. For the keeper, they bought a training top and wrote on the sponsor name in marker.

They were the last place team last year.

1) Not clever. Send all five of them off, and abandon the match as the team now have fewer than seven players. Then submit a detailed report, including your view that it looked pre-planned: the authorities have the option of recording the final score as 4-0. There is no rule that if a team causes an abandonment then they forfeit the game 3-0. So the result is likely to be relegation, fines and suspensions all round.

2) Provided the comment has not been overheard by others who may be offended, manage the situation with a strong rebuke. Let them know that if you hear a repeat, they will be reported to the authorities. But if the comment was loud enough to be heard by others, send off the player who made it. It would then be up to him to appeal, with his team-mate supporting him at the hearing. Thanks to Luke Surl.

1. I'm leaning towards penalty, assuming trip him up means violent. Yes, he was offside, but it seems like it would be if an attacker was in an offside position without the ball coming near him and the defender hacked him. They're not fair game just because they're offside. If it wasn't violent, then offside. I guess I'm aiming at calling the worse infraction.

2. Do it assuming both sides agree. It's not as fair or independent as a coin, but it's probably fair enough.

2. Corner. Not a deliberate handball in my opinion.

3. Corner. I'm pretty sure a player can't score an own goal off their own free kick, it has to touch another player first. But it did go out over the end line, so corner.

1. Offside. Free kick to defending team. The no offside on a throw-in has passed when another player touched the ball.
2. Stop the game due to serious injury, give a drop ball. I don't see a reason to wait for the keeper to make a move.
3. I'd say no goal due to outside agent. Drop ball. The real question is if the leg counts as part of the player, and I think it does not once he does not have sufficient control over it. Maybe if he was that superhero that can detach their limbs, then I'd still give no goal and a card for unsporting behavior.

1. I'm assuming that the player was definitely offside when the ball was kicked. I'd say the crossbar counts as a new "kick" and therefore if the player was onside when it hit the crossbar, it's a goal.

2. I don't think you can give either one cards, though it's what you would have done if you hadn't blown the whistle yet (both second yellows). Write the incident down and report it to the league. They can probably deal with it.

3. No goal. I would have been wanting to blow for a foul and possible card on the striker (and maybe the defender). He shouldn't get away from it just because I didn't get to my whistle in time, and something weird happened.

3. Free kick for the defense. My logic is that playing advantage does not throw the rules out of the window. If the attacker had turned around and kicked the defender, you you still send him off. Now, for the defender, I'm thinking only yellow. If he had been successful, it'd be DOGSO. But since the attacker was a champ, he wasn't denied, right?

Don't see the problem with the second one at all. It's not very nice, but I don't see what rule it could be breaking.

You could argue that in much how it used to be called "ungentlemanly" behavior, that it's unsporting. I just checked and while the Laws themself don't have it, the interpretation of Law 12 mentions that "act[ing] in a manner which shows a lack of respect for the game" means that "a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour".

However, I've also found nothing about injuries before the match or when players can be scratched, so that has me thinking I may be wrong on number 1 despite how reasonable it sounds.

1. Confirm with your assistant that he saw the guy in a place where the keeper's view could have been blocked. If he was, call back the goal for that guy being offside.

2. Check that the gloves are safe, which considering it's only during penalties it would be. If it was during the normal game, I'd say it's unsafe because he might punch someone in the head much easier and harder than without.

3. Do nothing and hope they score. The player that received the ball was not in an offside position when the ball was kicked, because you can't be offside on a corner, so he's not now. The other players if the image is correct aren't offside either, since the ball is past the defenders (except for the corner taker).

Arsenal used to do the corner routine from no. 3 quite regularly a few seasons ago until the linesmen started flagging the corner taker (Van Persie) offside each time.

But that would only matter if the corner taker is then involved in play. If the guy with the ball kicks it into the box, it really doesn't matter.
