Think you know better than the ref? (Scenario based questions)

I’ve shamelessly stolen these questions from a weekend paper, but I thought it might be fun to see what other people would do. If you think you recognise them and know the answers from the paper then try not to spoil it for the others who might have a go.

Anyway here are the three questions; -

1: You notice that a player whom you earlier sent off for violent conduct has returned in his suit to sit on the bench to watch the remainder of the match. What action do you take?

2: A goalkeeper prepares to kick up field – but a small attacker appears from behind him, intercepts the ball before it hits the ground and scores. What do you do?

3: A goal is scored. You give it, but then notice a signal from your assistant at the other end of the field. The assistant tells you that as the ball was entering the goal, the goalkeeper at the other end punched an opponent inside his own penalty area. What action do you take?

Give them a go if you like and I’ll post the answers later so you can see how well you’ve done.
 
Hmmm I think I know number 3 I as we were talking about it in the office, I'm pretty sure the ref can change his decision about the goal, so would give a penalty to the other side and send off the offending goalkeeper for violent conduct? No idea about the first 2 though :)
 
agree on number 3

number 1 I think he has to leave the dugout

number 2 I think the goal stands as the keeper was not in control of the ball at the time , the only exception would be if the player was "off the field of play" for treatment etc

I deed not zee it

1. He should be in the dressing room shouldnt he?

2. Disallow it?

3. Give the goal but send the keeper off?
 
1. He has to leave the dugout. It's counted as the field of play I believe, so when he's sent off he has to leave that area completely.

2. The happened a while ago when Henry took it from a keeper and scored. The goal was disallowed at the time and that's what I'd also do. I think when a keeper kicks the ball from his hand it counts as one motion and you're not allowed to steal it from him before he kicks it.

3. As the ball hadn't crossed the line I agree that the goal should be disallowed, a pen should be given, and the keeper sent off for violent conduct.

If thats the case why has Henry had a goal disallowed once the keeper kicked it ;)

1. Send him to the stands

2. Disallowed

3. Sent off, penalty, disallowed goal

don't remember that one but it was allaowed to stand in the Forest - Man City game some time ago and the keeper had one hand on the ball

I suppose the challenge could be deemed as dangerous in some instances
 
Last year, keeper kicked the ball from hand (Blackburn iirc) and Henry took the ball and scored.

The other one was Gary Crosby, and he headed the ball from his hand:)
 
With the Gary Crosby goal, the goalkeeper was not in the motion of kicking the ball. He stood with one hand on the ball to his side. I think the keepers name was 'Dibble' from Man City.

The keeper only has full control of the ball if it's in two hands.
 
A twist on the first question for those of you who reckon "He shouldn't be in the dugout" and "He should be in the stands":

What happens if it's a sunday league match where there is no dugout and there are no stands. Just a pitch with the coaches, subs and the proverbial "one man and his dog" standing on the sidelines. Where do you send him then?

I'd pretty much say this too -think young Davey has hit the nail on the head... waits for answers to see if I'm completely wrong!! ;)

The Answers

Ok I'll reveal the answers now.

1: You notice that a player whom you earlier sent off for violent conduct has returned in his suit to sit on the bench to watch the remainder of the match. What action do you take?
A: Wait for the next break in play, and approach the technical area to demand the player is removed. A player who has been sent off must leave the vicinity of the field of play, which includes the technical area.

2: A goalkeeper prepares to kick up field – but a small attacker appears from behind him, intercepts the ball before it hits the ground and scores. What do you do?
A: Disallow the goal. It is an offence to prevent a goalkeeper releasing the ball from his hands; the releasing of the ball from his hands and kicking of the ball is considered to be a single action.

3: A goal is scored. You give it, but then notice a signal from your assistant at the other end of the field. The assistant tells you that as the ball was entering the goal, the goalkeeper at the other end punched an opponent inside his own penalty area. What action do you take?
A: Reverse your decision: disallow the goal, send off the goalkeeper for violent conduct and award a penalty to the opposing team.

Davey_Pitch as pretty much nailed the answers. If I can find last weeks I might post those as well, I think they were a bit more challenging.
 
1) He would leave the dugout and sit in the stands away from any form of communication
2) It depends where the player was, if he was out of the field of play and I hadn't waved him on it would be disallowed, if he wasn't and didn't make contact with the keeper it would stand.
3) The goal would stand. The keeper would then be sent off. This would be because the keeper was not in control of the ball.
 
Someone scored a goal a bit like number 2 a few years ago, might have been Dion Dublin(?) vs Shay Given or something like that. However the ball had touched the deck rather than being in "mid-air" iirc. The striker had ended up behind the goalline for some reason, sliding in or whatever, and the goalie hadn't noticed he was behind him.
 
Yeah it was the mighty Dion. He went of the field of play as he over ran the pitch, Given had no idea he was there, rolled out the ball ready to kick it from the floor, Dion then pinched the ball and scored.
