Some questions from an american grassroots referee recert test. if you're wondering why the 15 year old referee doesn't know when the ball is actually out of bounds or in play it's because most of the questions are "should you punch the coach for talking loud true/false" or "what's the restart if the ball explodes on contact while a substituted player throws a team official at an opposing GK inside their own penalty area"

B, A (dunno), A, A?

Huh, didn't even know the first scenario wasn't allowed lol

You scored a 50%.

B - IFK where the GK handled the ball, since it counts as an illegal pass back to the GK
B - you can make a hash mark 10 yards from the corner arc to show how far back defenders have to stand before a corner kick is taken
A - since the ball doesn’t burst until it’s in play, your restart is a drop ball where it burst
B - although the defender is standing in the penalty area, he strikes the opponent outside the penalty area. The actual contact with the opponent is therefore outside the penalty area and should result in a DFK at that spot and a red card. The reverse would also be true - if the defender is outside the penalty, but punches an attacker inside the penalty area, it would be a PK.

Law 14:
"A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13."

I interpreted this as it being a penalty because the offending player is inside their penalty area when they commit the offence.

1: A
2: D

1 is B because it's not DOGSO as it's an untouched throw

yeah you're right "stopping a promising attack" made me think dogso

1. You did the correct thing that every official would do, but because this question is worded stupid, you got it wrong. The answer is A. The offense that was committed first was the Unsporting Behavior, not the pass back!
2. Correct
3. Correct
4. Correct

Regarding 1., this example is straight from IFAB. The yellow is given to the player who circumvented the passing rule, but the spot of the IFK is where the ball is illegally handled.

That may be directly from IFAB, but it does not address the scenario I posted. That deals with a straight pass back to the GK. The scenario I posted is dealing with the defender 'initiating a trick' to circumvent the passback rules.

From IFAB:
"An indirect free kick is awarded if a player:
- initiates a deliberate trick for the ball to be passed (including from a free kick or goal kick) to the goalkeeper with the head, chest, knee etc. to circumvent the Law, whether or not the goalkeeper touches the ball with the hands; the goalkeeper is penalised if responsible for initiating the deliberate trick"

The whole point of the thing was to point out how stupid the questions were worded from the perspective of an inexperienced referee who does mostly games involving 8 year olds. The question is indeed very confusing and makes a person assume that a passback has been made or that the intention of the question is to deal with the situation of the GK handling the ball.

To be fair, depending on where you live in the US there might be about four months of the year where it's regularly above freezing so you probably place more importance on what month it is than what day of the month it is.

That one’s pretty clear cut I guess, but if the ball was flying at the sub and he had no choice but to block it, I wonder if that’s still a pen.
