The Assistant Referees

TOPICS Dual System of Officiating = Equal

power and authority on the field Duties of the Referee When to penalize Advantage Law Powers of the Referee Coaching from the boundary lines

Decisions of the Referee

The decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with

play are finalfinal.Those facts include whether a

goal has been scored or not and the result of the match.

Decisions of the Referee

The referee may only change a decision on realizing that it

is incorrect or, at his/her discretion, on the advice of

partner referee, provided that he/she has not restarted play.

The Laws of the Game are intended to provide that games should be played with as little

interference as possible, and in this view it is the duty of the referees to penalize only

deliberate breaches of the Law. Constant whistling for trifling or doubtful breaches

produces bad feeling and loss of temper on the part of the players and spoils the pleasure of

the spectators.

When to Penalize

Allows play to continue when the team against which an offense has been committed will benefit from

such an advantage and penalizes the original offense if the

anticipated advantage does not ensue at that time.

ADVANTAGE LAW

ADVANTAGE LAW

Once decided, referee may revoke his/her decision if the presumed advantage does not materialize

The foul “Goes Away” unless referee decides, within 2-3 seconds, that the original advantage does not materialize

Misconduct always stays You may caution or send-off at the next

stoppage of play only

• Verbal - “PLAY ONPLAY ON!”• Visual - Arms swing in front• Can change mind if advantage doesn’t occur

ADVANTAGE LAW

Example:Defensive player wants to attack on goal stopped. Fouls attacker. Attacker not stopped by foul.

If referee stops game for that foul, then referee is doing the defender’s job for them (stopping attack), thus “advantage” goes to offending (defensive) team.

After foul - make eye contact with player who fouled as you point direction.

Challenge was very hard/ physical A player remains on the ground Opponents are not departing the area You must move in quickly to control

the situation and prevent/stop/deal with misconduct


Watch play - not the ball Ball gone - start move to next

position, watch for late contact Ball coming - move to position, watch

for foul prior to ball arriving Set plays - vary position, use voice to

manage players, signal when ready

Procedure for issuing cards

MISCONDUCT PROCEDURES

MISCONDUCT REVIEW

When can misconduct occur? Unlike fouls, misconduct can be against

anyone, at anytime, anywhere including team areas, stands or parking lot

Can you name the seven cautionable offences? Do you use an acronym to remember?

Can you give an example of each?

MISCONDUCT REVIEW

Does the yellow card have to be displayed? Yes, display cards to players and

substitutes Do NOT display cards to team officials

Can a foul also be misconduct? Yes, a foul may also be misconduct

Does misconduct require a foul to have been committed? No. Can you give an example?

MISCONDUCT REVIEW

What is the restart if you stop play for misconduct, but no FOUL has been committed? Misconduct causing a stoppage of play

without a DFK foul will warrant restarting with a IFK

If you don’t stop play for misconduct, when does it have to be dealt with? It must be dealt with at the next

stoppage or not at all

MISCONDUCT REVIEW

What about physical contact that looks the same as a major foul against anyone including teammates, spectators or officials at any time (or opponents, if the ball is out of play)? Deal with it as Unsporting Behavior or

Violent Conduct depending on the severity of the action

MISCONDUCT REVIEW

What is the difference between Serious Foul Play and Violent Conduct? SFP must meet the requirements for a

FOUL and must be committed during a challenge for the ball, for example, a tackle from behind which endangers the safety of the opponent.

Violent Conduct can happen anytime, and anywhere

Did you stop play for the misconduct?
