After the craziness of the transfer window and the new start to the season, things have slowed down somewhat. It seemed at that time we had a new thread every two minutes, and now after all the hecticness ( Is that even a word? ) our board is now in slow-motion. So I thought I would try out a few new thread lines to tide us over until we start getting excited about the build up to next weeks game......... You are the ref.... You're the ref at a prem match, Gerrard goes in really hard on Bale and it's an obvious yellow card. The ball breaks and it falls to Ekotto before you have a chance to blow, you wave play-on as Spurs have the advantage and decide that you will book Gerrard in a break in play. Ekotto plays the ball inside to Huddlestone, and Gerrard then having recovered from the previous challenge goes through the back of Huddlestone and committing another yellow card challenge. You blow up for a foul. What action do you then take? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please feel free to add your own scenarios, as I have been at work all day and don't want to spend the rest of my Saturday evening thinking of others at the moment. I'll try and think of a few more tomorrow. That is of course if anyone's interested.
I know by the letter of the law it shouldn't matter, but it would depend whether or not he's in the penalty box for me. If inside, I'd show him a yellow and give Spurs the Pen. Outside and I'd send the Scouse git off. (Good idea this, Nines)
Send him off for 2 bookable offences. Heres another one, a goalie takes a place kick in a gale, the ball goes about 20 yards, gets caught in the wind and flies over his head back into the goal. Does you a) retake the kick, b) award a goal, c) award a corner.
I would book the Spuds geezer for diving I may even go back and book Bale for diving as well cause he's a diving cnut
It's a corner isn't it? 9's I;ve actually asked this question before to a mate who's a qualified ref. After the first challenge you should shout to him that it's a yellow so he knows and therefore can have no complaints when he commits the second bookable offence as its two yellows and an early bath.
That's hilarious. I didn't know myself, and have often wondered. Thanks for the insight Scotland, of course in hindsight the ref would let the player know what's coming. Nice one mate. That's a great question Flyer. I don't know but I would have to go for b. Award a goal.
What does the ref do in the following circumstances: 1. At every single corner during the game there is a wrestling match between various members of both teams 2. Every player constantly uses foul and abusive language for the entire game, directed both at each other and you 3. Certain members of both teams collapse and writhe around for minutes on end whenever they are tackled, while their colleagues scream in your face for free kicks, but are somehow able to get up and play on every time 4. At Old Trafford the away team is holding Utd to a draw (or leading by a single goal). How much injury time do you allow? ANSWERS: 1-3 ignore it, apparently. 4 - as long as it takes for the correct result to be achieved. Apologies for the cynicism. I'll try some proper ones tomorrow. Good thread as usual Nines.
Aw, now I see. This is what the ref should do by the rule-book? I thought it was what would you do if you was ref. Hamish has got the first one there I think.
What's happened to you sb? I think you are posting as to what appropriates your avatar. Change it to something more cheerful. Maybe Alf Garnett?
He seems to be the sole 'ammers fan sitting over there in the dark on their Board. Every time I pop over to say hello he tells be to bugger off!
A forward ( Rob Hulse ) races onto a high through ball beating the off-side trap. As he runs, a defender deliberatly tries to trip him up. But Hulse gallantly stays on his feet. You prepare to signal an advantage - but you spot Hulse deliberately using his hand to control the ball. What do you do now?
I didnt know Hughes posted on here. I once had a ref give a fk for timewasting when I was a goalie and the ball was at my feet without me having touched it. I wasn't best pleased. another one. A p k is taken, it hits the post and the kicker puts the rebound in. What do you do. I saw this happen a couple of weeks ago.
Surely the answer is to shrug pathetically while Roman and Glazer's cheques pass through the clearing system?
The penalty taker can't touch the ball if it rebounds directly off the woodwork BEFORE anyone from the DEFENDING side has touched it. If the pen taker puts the ball in the net without anyone on the defending team touching it then an indirect free kick is awarded to the defending team!
Correct, I knew it before but it still amazed me the penalty taker didnt know the rules and stopped a team mate from putting it in. The goalie knew and was appealing right away.
A team is leading 1-0 late on and they win a throw-in/corner/free-kick. In order to time waste no one goes up to take it for a very long time, therefore the referee does not have anyone to book for time wasting. What would he do for a - throw-in - corner - direct free-kick - indirect free-kick I would be under the assumption he would give the throw-in the other way, a goal kick for a corner and an indirect/direct free-kick to the other team depending on which it is.
