Can you blame the referee?

According to twitter the offside one is catching people out.

5/12. And I only got two questions wrong on my referee's exam 15 years ago!!!

[mrastonvilla]

5/12 ouch.

[preston28]

3 out of 12. 

League 2 referee - rather generous IMO.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm amazed there isn't a man u version...when a man united player gets touched on the halfway line, do you a give a pen, send two players off from the other team one for touching the player and one for saying that's not a foul. Send the manager to the stand or abandon the game giving the other team a fifteen goal win, or all of the above

Sorry still a bit bitter

Which one, the first?

[Lambert and Payne]

1. Offside as the attacker has gained an advantage by standing in an offside position

2. The referee chooses the end

3. Ask the team with 11 players to nominate two players who will not take part in the penalty shootout

4. The referee, assistant referees and players

5. Dismiss the player, allowing him to be replaced by a substitute in the starting line-up

6. None of the above

7. Substitution

8. Dismiss the offending player and award a penalty kick as the incident took place in the penalty area

9. Retake the free kick

10. Offside in the centre of the pitch

11. Head the ball

12. 6 players


Not sure which one of those is wrong, think it maybe the retake the free kick one (9) because the ball has to leave the area, but it might be awarded as a corner kick. Going to fumble through again and see which one it is..

If it is the 1st one, then the rule is that when the striker played the ball he was offside, however I'm sure Davevillain or any other referee's will tell me thats wrong

I got 8/12, yet had different answers to 2, 5, 9, only so I think it might be one of the others we both got "right"

See question 8 confuses me, I thought spitting was indirect free kick? Its definitely a red card offence..

My son (15) just got 12/12.

He did become a qualified ref 2 weeks ago.

Nine.

That's what I thought, but as you say - the question wasn't worded very well. I was going to go retake, but then remember reading somewhere back in the day that it counts as a corner.

I differ from you in 2, 10 and 12. And following 60 seconds of research, you have those correct.

So it's definitely number nine that is wrong.
