14 out of 20 too, I guessed a lot of them though.

TwoShedsJackson

13 out of 20, pretty tough.

PHB

16

but I know much about history of the game and thus know a lot of the laws from knowing when they were brought in

I particuarly like the penalty kick one, most people won't know the anwser.

Guessed a few, wonder which ones I got wrong.

I got the penalty one.

WhiteWashMan

a rotton 9. which is why i rarely give out about referees.

EXCEPT WHEN SPURS ARENT AWARDED A GOAL AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED!

Villain

18, but both my bro's are well qualified ref's so I shoudl know the rules

Spalk0

13 out of 20!

better than i expected to be honest because a lot of the questions i really was nowhere near sure of so guessed a lot really!

PHB - No 10 is "the goalkeeper must change" (don't need spoiler tags as I'm sure people will do the quiz before reading the thread).

I got 8, 9, 12, 13, 15 and 18 wrong. I feel hard done by on 2 of them.

12: I've seen plenty of players standing in front of the throw-in taker and it was OK, Millwall v Liverpool it happened a few times.
18: He has more to do than what he does on the field of play so I would have said as soon as he enters the ground. He can use his powers and certainly has duties before he steps on the pitch.

Standing in front of a throw-in taker, and jumping in front of him are two different things though. Jumping is illegal.

13 out of 20!

Very good quiz, excellent find dude :cool:

BaZmO*

It said I only got 14 but when I went through the answers I could only see 5 that I got wrong!! AHH REFEREEEEE!!!!!

Just a query about Q.13. Does that mean that a player taking a penalty kick doesn't have to aim at the goal, he only has to hit the ball forward? Would that mean that he could conceivably just lay the ball off for one of his team mates as long as the ball went forward?

B.

B.

The rule is:

The kick must go forward & once "in play" (i.e., once the ball moves) any player other than the kicker may then touch the ball.

Very good question.

edit: Thanks for clearing that up Irish1. I wonder why it has never been done though, surely nobody would be expecting it except for the team involved and the keeper would be on the ground.

_blank_

I got 14, and I am a qualified Ref :eek: :eek:

A few of the answers are dodgy though. As far as my training went, the ref is in charge of the whole ground as soon as he arrives there.

That is the correct assumption BaZmO*, and I think Holland did it in a World Cup / Euro Championship in the 70's.

The Rooster

Holland definitely did that (or at least some Dutch team involving johann cruyff, who was defo involved).

I think Neeskens took the peno and played it forward and out to the right where Cruyff had made a perfectly timed run. Cruyff then played it back to Neeskens taking the keeper out of play and Neeskens tapped in to the empty net.

I got 16. How do you figure out which ones you got wrong?

pres ctrl+a and go up to PHB's last post.

A Dub in Glasgo

I got a miserly 12

The pass mark must be about 7 out of 20 going by some of the incompetent referees here in Scotland

jonny68

Well done lads although i wasnt expecting anybody to get 20/20 but not bad.......

Thanx 4 The Fish

I got 19 but I am a ref. Individual associations can also make up their own rules btw. So the number of subs etc can be changed if necessary. A good example of this is the 10 yards for dissent which is used in the english game but not in the FIFA guides, another is the shirt over the head rule.

Chucky the tree

so if a punuch up happens in the tunnel before kick off none of the players involved can be sent off?

I have a video of it being done by Ajax in a match. Not sure when it was but from the kits I would say mid to late 80's. It's a recording of a sporting bloopers show called "Best of the Worst". It was on BBC3 around a year ago.

I have a problem with these ones.

Number 11: For a goal to be a goal the whole ball must cross the line. Would it not make sence that the player must be across the line for it to be a penalty?

Number 14: I have seen refs let them take it again many many times for this offence. I thought it only went to the other team if you made a foul throw.

Number 18: Does that mean you can call the ref a bollocks in the tunnel and he can't do anything?

I agree, the answer to that is wrong IMO.
