We miss this every year! ATR 12.28.8: Substitutes may be cautioned and shown the yellow card only for: Unsporting behavior Dissent Delaying the restart of play If a substitute enters the field of play illegally, the caution must be for unsporting behavior.

Slide 15

What do we call it? The Blue team has just scored a goal resulting in the score now being tied. With not much time remaining, a Blue forward runs into the goal to retrieve the ball and bring it back for the kick-off restart as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this results in a tussle with the Red goalkeeper who was also in the process of picking up the ball. You decide to caution the Blue player. Given that the Blue player was trying to restart play quickly, the caution must be reported as unsporting behavior rather than delaying the restart of play. FALSE It IS Delaying the Restart of Play

Slide 16

Yellow, Red or None? A player is attacking the opponent's goal from inside the penalty area. With the defending goalkeeper and a fullback guarding the goal, another defensive player carelessly tackles the attacker and causes the shot to be deflected wide of the goal.

Slide 22

PK Cheating At a penalty kick, the kicking team commits a Law 14 violation but the ball is saved and controlled by the goalkeeper. You should allow play to continue to maximize flow of the game. FALSE

REMEMBER!!!! Kicking team cheats Ball does NOT enter goal IFK to opposing team Why it didnt go in the goal does not matter No such thing as advantage here

Slide 24

AR Signal A penalty kick is taken and the defending goalkeeper comes off the line early in order to make the save. The lead AR should raise the flag vertically in order to signal the illegal goalkeeper movement. FALSE

Referees arent calling fouls League feedback (Buffalo and Rochester at least) Referees are letting too many fouls go Older age divisions (U14+) WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF OUR CUSTOMERS!

A foul is a foul regardless of level of play A foul occurs when: Law is violated In the opinion of the referee Call every game the same?

NEWS FLASH

Slide 38

Things WE need to change Raise our standard of trifling My opinion on how the game should be played Irrelevant! (Youth) Players opinion has very little bearing LEAGUES = Competition AUTHORITY Their direction: OUR DEFINITION OF TRIFLING NEEDS TO CHANGE

Slide 39

How do we change? Do we ever call fouls that arent fouls? Concentrate on physical fouls Advantage be careful! Dont look for reasons to not call it Ignore Let them play commentary Youre sure its a foul, but not sure if its trifling MAKE THE CALL.
