You are the Ref

1. It's the assistants call if the ref is unsighted. Yellow card the 4th official for not being a team player.

2. Send off for assault. Consider pressing charges.

3. Yes. In fact, before any further restarts during the game, make sure the poor defender has finished his drink and is in position ready for play.
 
1. Accept the assistant's verdict, you were unsighted and the other three making comment don't matter. If they persist both manager's could be cautioned for dissent.

2. Send him off.

3. Restart the game from the popint the injury happened (it doesn't say whether it was a freekick, throw in or whatever), what is ambiguous is was the injured player was actually off the pitch when play restarted as it says "As a physio escorts....." which means he is still doing so therefore play #shouldn't restart.

3. is two different players though right, the one with the water isn't the one who was injured

that's how I read it but what it doesn't say is whether the injured player is off the field when play restarts as the question uses the present tense "escorts" rather than the past "escorted"

not really sure that matters, if the play has restarted that means the ref has blown his whistle

No it doesn't, play can restart without his whistle if a team decides to take a quick free kick, I've had it happen many a time when refereeing and had to call them back to wait for the whistle.

best (and funniest) example was a freekick just outside the box, goalkeeper was adjusting the wall and the attacker stepped up and curled a beautiful freekick in to the top corner, I called them back and said wait for the whistle, keeper stood adjusting the wall and the attacker proceeded to take the freekick and put it in exactly the same place, once again i called for a retake and said to the attacker not to take it before i blew my whistle and if he did he'd be cautioned, keeper adjusted his wall, signalled that he was ready, i blew and what happened, exactly the same as both previous kicks, beautiful;ly curled up and round the wall in to the top corner, keeper nowhere near it, you'd have thought he'd have learnt :)
 
sorry, i mean in this context, the answer can't be call play back as i didn't blow my whistle, else that would be referenced in the setup
 
Couldn't find the old thread, so here's a new one for one of my highlights of the week!

1. Goal should stand if the whistle hasn't yet been blown, technically playing advantage. Possibly only a yellow to the keeper.

2. If he's whipped his shirt off before the final whistle then he should be booked and red carded. If the whistle has already blown then let him enjoy himself.

3. Give him the 2nd yellow. Even though the 6 second rule is rarely imposed, if you're still dumb enough to waste time after just getting a yellow card for it, you deserve the 2nd one! and award an indirect free kick to the attacking team.

1. Did not deny a goal scoring chance (obviously) so no red. Yellow for deliberate handball
2. Game over so no punishment
3. By the letter of the law he should go but 8 secs is pretty much overlooked all the time. Would be harsh.
 
1. Goal. Yellow card for the goalkeeper (unsporting behaviour). Not a sending-off because a goal was scored.
2. Although the match has ended the referee has jurisdiction until the players have left the field. 2nd yellow card for the goal celebration.
3. Don't be influenced by the crowd's counting, which is probably too fast, but if he has really delayed releasing the ball for 8 seconds then it's a 2nd yellow card for the goalkeeper and an indirect free kick to the other team.
 
my take on the first is he should get a yellow for the deliberate handball, and a second yellow for it being a crap attempt which still resulted in a goal

I'd go with this. And for #4 immediately sent to the stands for being a clam.
 
1) Award goal and no card. Advantage was played
2) No second yellow, final whistle had gone. Do players celebrating a cup win get booked for swapping for celebratory shirts?
3) Go by your own watch, as you usually do
3b) ....but if it is West Ham award a gold star of they have managed to count to 8 successfully. Simpletons appreciate the smallest bit of praise.

reminds me of the year panini did rules of the game in the sticker book for that year, happy days
 
This weeks solutions, number 2 is very harsh!

Keith Hackett's verdict
1) The keeper may well have tried to deny an obvious scoring opportunity, but he clearly failed – the ball ended up in his net. So, instead of the red card you were preparing to show him, penalise him with a yellow for deliberately handling the ball outside his area and award the goal.

2) Send him off – it's a second yellow. The game may be over but offences that take place after the final whistle are still offences and they have to be dealt with. The striker has made a stupid mistake – he must know the law about removing shirts during goal celebrations and flouting it means he could now end up being suspended for the biggest game of his life. It's a crazy way to end up banned – but you have to apply the laws fairly and consistently.

3) In normal circumstances a keeper who takes longer than six seconds to release the ball is not booked – you would simply award an indirect free-kick to the attacking team from the edge of the penalty area. But in these circumstances, he is clearly guilty of unsporting behaviour, having had multiple previous warnings for the same offence – so show him a second yellow. Play resumes with an indirect free-kick, once a replacement goalkeeper is in position.
 
Second answer is bs.

If they were running round the pitch ten minutes after the whistle and took their shirts off it is not a booking.

Match has finished, referees go back to being normal human beings without super powers.

And how do you know the crowd are actually counting in seconds?
 
Interesting call of bs there 'Alan'

Many occasions ref has issued bookings and sendings off post-match. IIRC someone got another card after coming back for more near the tunnel, and all up-held as legitimate.

Until both teams are both in their changing rooms he's the authority. Even then he can add to his report.
