Can you blame the referee?

3 out of 12. 

League 2 referee - rather generous IMO.

Same here.

5. And I've just gone blind and taken a call off my mother to give me some alarming news about my conception.

2 out of 12.  I'd like to know which ones I've got right.

[Louzie0]

I've just gone back a page or 2 and discovered some answers. All I can say is, gosh, I never knew home or away was so important. Now I do - I change my answers to opposite the ones I got wrong.

But I still think the others were well offside.

[davevillan]

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..

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..

The correct answer to 9 is corner kick..Tho number 2 is a bit confusing, the answer they are looking for is the ref chooses ends, which at local level he would do, but at pro level, they toss to choose ends and then toss again to see who goes first..Thats why in the Euros, there were 2 coin tosses prior to any penalty shoot outs.

According to twitter the offside one is catching people out.

The offside one is easy :-)

Which one, the first?

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

Gained an advantage by being in an offside position. Had the initial shot gone in, its a goal, but once it came back of the goalkeeper, or last defender he is penalised for gaining an advantage.. The same as if the ball had rebounded from the goal.

I got 3 out of 12 without looking at the questions then told them I was a bluenose and female.

Disappointing 6/12.
