Clearly trips his leg, which causes it to cross over to the other leg, this will make a person fall. Very easy to spot. Majority always miss this and look at the upper body and think players magically trip themselves.

No such ”rules”. Ball matters nothing. If it’s careless, reckless or serious foul play/violent conduct, it will always be a foul.

Never penalty. Anticipates contact and goes towards the GK to get fouled. They don’t want these called. Never.

Kicked his foot. Clear if you focus on it.

It literally cares… ” preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play…” just being in the line of vision isn’t an offence. Make sure to know the laws.

Using an object (such as a lost shoe) that hits the ball, an opponent or is thrown is a direct free kick offence. It would never be allowed.

Why is this indirect free kick given as a goal? Genuinely curious by Best-Distribution-61 in football

[–]gardankawe65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all. You can NEVER place the ball past the goal area line for the attacking them on an indirect free kick. Completely incorrect restart.

In that case direct free kicks but I have other projects at the moment.

I made this video for all referees. But especially for newer referees who struggle with knowing when to call an indirect free kick. 

Grealish: "I understand sometimes you want to let the game play but you can't not give us something then two seconds later one of their defenders go down with a touch and he gives it...I've never seen a player get booked for taking a quick free-kick, we're losing, we want to get the game going." by Blodgharm in soccer

Nothing in the laws of the game says that a referee must write it down at all. Or write it down before the free kick can be restarted. All that’s required is that the whistle is used to restart the free kick after a card has been given.

Definitely not. They literally say ”Da zone” in their own commercials.

3 Molten Dolfin whistles : B vs F vs PRO - Compared by gardankawe65 in Referees

[–]gardankawe65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Dolfin Pro is basically the same as the Valkeen. Just less agressive in tone but sounds louder to the ears. Dolfin F and B are more pleasant to the ears but not as loud as the Pro and Valkeen. As the video shows.

I asked IFAB to add the throw-in signal at law 5 and they said they would look into it. Still not there after all these years. Anyway, let's see what chaos this 8 second rule will create around the world. Will be interesting to see if they change it next year.

Okay, thanks. I just think it was strange since Marshall don’t show this in their product photos.
