It's Friday. Lets play 'You are the ref'

Number 3 would be allow the goal wouldn't it?

Depends on the manner in which the attacking player handled the ball I guess.

But not if in the immediate aftermath of the deliberate handball on the line a legitimate goal is scored through playing advantage -> no denial of goal = no red card and penalty.

IMO:
1) Pass - I guess the goal stands as it is to late to do anything about, yellow card the player for unsporting conduct, send the kitman from the technical area.

2) Yellow card the sub, start with drop ball.

3) Red card the defender for the deliberate hand ball, award the goal

Like I said for 3 - if you award the goal, you can't red card the player, as he didn't prevent a goal from being scored. So just a yellow.

With 2, agree with yellow card for the sub, and re-start with the drop ball.

For 1, the referee has to approve any change in match balls, so if he hadn't I guess technically he could disallow the goal and re-start from the throw in.

I agree with you that that is the current interpretation of the law, but I would still like to see players sent off in this situation - my loophole to achieve this would be that he prevented a goal being scored from that play, then subsequent to that a goal was scored.

For No 1 it depends if the attacker's hand ball was a)deemed a deliberate hand ball or b) if the ball just happened to strike his hand, therefore not actually deemed as handball.

If a) - Then red card defender and award penalty
    b) - Yellow card defender and award goal

If you're asking about my question regarding thie match here, yes.

We haven't done this in a while, so:

1) Ref does have power to stop immediately if there is a serious injury, so if you feel this is likely to be so, stop, otherwise play continues...

2) Nothing stopping play continuing is there - he is obligated to put the back on as soon as possible, but not to stop play immediately?

3) I can't decide if it was deliberately kicked back or not. Most likely it was, but it could have been a shockingly bad corner being conceded as well.

I would give #1 a card for that horrible hair cut.

Twitter eh? Bit of that new-fangled muck.

1) You can red card people in the tunnel/dressing room, so i would guess as this happened at the venue, this also counts?

2) Blow whistle,, the game's already over.

3) Don't have a clue.

In terms of #1, I'd imagine social media is the domain of the league rather than the referee. I'd imagine the referee would have to refer it, then continue as normal. Especially given the risk could be from a fake account, which are pretty common. Hell, even I have someone pretending to be me

1) as per Robb, refer to league bosses.

#3 - depends on if you saw where the scissors came from, did the defender bring them onto the pitch or were they thrown by a fan?

With the season starting so to does this!

IMHO
1: No goal, game continues. Put it in the match report and let the bureaucrats deal with the club.

2: Goal stands - obviously the ball was on the spot otherwise you wouldn't have allowed the penalty to be taken to start with! If he missed then retake it for keeper advancing off the line early.

3: No goal, indirect free kick to defending side - the penalty taker can't touch the ball again before another player. aitkenmike2011-08-13 17:21:53
