1 Right vs Best Misconduct Ohio South Referee Training 2015 Grade 6 & 7 Referee Recertification
2 Right vs Best What is Right. follow the Laws to the letter What may be Best. Apply Law 18 - Common Sense The LOTG give a referee the authority to use the power of discretion to judge and enforce the Laws, i.e. to implement the concept of Right vs. Best in the decision making process with regard to all of the Laws. Each game situation introduces its own unique Right vs Best set of conditions that will ultimately influence a referee s judgment when making their final decisions. Slide 2
3 MISCONDUCT MANDATES Referees are presented with situations in the game that require a yellow or red card be issued. These are situations that are clear cut and there is no gray area. The referee cannot ignore these situations and, for the good of the game, must administer the appropriate misconduct to the player or players in question. 100% misconduct situations are those in which the Laws of the Game mandate that a yellow or red card be issued. When confronted with a 100% misconduct situation, the referee s duty is to deal with the misconduct. The use of the big picture cannot be implemented to determine whether a card should be shown or not. Slide 3
4 MISCONDUCT MANDATES Mandated Misconduct takes two forms: Crimes committed against a player or another person Crimes committed against the game Slide 4
5 MISCONDUCT MANDATES Seven (7) Cautionable Offenses by Players Unsporting Behavior (Game or Person) Dissent by Word or Action (Game or Person) Persistent Infringement (Player) Delaying Restart of Play (Game) Failure to Respect Required distance on Restarts (Game) Entering Field Without Referee s Permission (Game) Leaving Field Without Referee s Permission (Game) Three (3) Cautionable Offenses by Substitutes Unsporting Behavior (Game or Person) Dissent by Word or Action (Game or Person) Delaying Restart of Play (Game) Slide 5
6 MISCONDUCT MANDATES Seven (7) Send-Off Offenses Serious Foul Play (Player) Violent Conduct (Person) Spitting At any person (Person) Denying a goal or DOGSO by deliberately handling the ball (Game) DOGSO by any other offense punishable by a free kick (Game) Use of offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures (Person or Game) Receiving a Second Caution (Person or Game) Slide 6
7 MISCONDUCT MANDATES When must Misconduct also be applied? When one of seven (7) specified DFK fouls escalate in terms of severity: (Player) from careless, a simple foul (no card) to reckless (a yellow card) to using excessive force (a red card) Tactical fouls - Disrupt attacking play (Game) Typically do not involve hard, physical contact Requires a yellow card for unsporting behavior Slide 7
8 Right vs Best Exception Once the Referee has determined that Misconduct has occurred there is only one choice that can be applied: The Referee can only do what is RIGHT In accordance with the Laws the appropriate punishment must be administered. The choice of what may be BEST is no longer an option. Slide 8
9 Failures of Referees Persistent Infringement Lack of proper experience Unable to recognize patterns Not perceived not paying attention lack of focus Tactical Fouls Unable to recognize. no understanding of the concept Unprepared. seldom implemented not in referee tool bag Not perceived at the time lack of overall focus DOGSO Seldom seen play not an every game occurrence Not prepared for it Don t recognize it at the time Consider it as an inconsequential crime against the game Slide 9
10 Persistent Infringement What is Persistent Infringement? Fouls that are continually committed by the same player. 3 or 4 maximum, not 7 or 8. Fouls that are continually committed against the same player. usually not committed by the same player, but by several different opponents Such fouls include not only those for which play is stopped, but also for any fouls where the advantage is given and even trifling fouls for which the referee chooses not to stop play. Slide 10
11 Persistent Infringement Fouls that are continually committed by the same player. Committed by a player with lesser skills than an opponent Committed by a player against an opponent who is quicker Committed by players who just do not like their opponents Committed by a player who doesn t understand that he s committing a foul Fouls that are continually committed against the same player by different opponents. Typically committed against an opponent s star player Intended to disrupt an opposing player s rhythm Intended to upset and irritate an opposing player Often used as a tactical defensive weapon Slide 11
12 Persistent Infringement Persistent infringement is one of the seven official cautionable offenses. HOWEVER: Newer and lesser experienced referees will not recognize when persistent infringement occurs: o Focus is on individual events o Concentrating on seeing individual fouls o Getting individual foul decisions right demands full and complete attention o Trying to determine if individual foul was reckless or excessive o Immediately concerned with where and how to restart play o Rarely recognize who committed the foul doesn t register and usually goes unnoticed unless excessive Slide 12
13 Persistent Infringement Persistent infringement involves seeing patterns of foul behavior. Newer and lesser experienced officials should not try and force the issue of trying to recognize patterns. Until such time the possibility of patterns would actually probably be an unwanted distraction. As a referee s comfort level increases thru experience, then the ability to see patterns will gradually evolve. it is not an overnight awakening. Referee s concentration is taken to the next level Slide 13
14 Persistent Infringement Once the ability to handle individual fouls correctly becomes second nature and easier, a referee will begin to perceive the other things that are going on. It is a natural progression and takes a year or two of extensive experience before being able to develop the ability to recognize any patterns of behavior. This not only includes recognizing patterns of foul behavior, but also patterns of team play or tactics, individual player tendencies, etc. All of which are part of an official s learning experience. As officials master the individual and more immediate challenges, the more they will see what is going on overall in the game. Slide 14
15 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT Tactical Fouls: are primarily fouls that do not necessarily endanger the safety of an opponent are often considered minor because they normally do not involve hard, physical contact are committed either to break down a promising attack. or. to gain an advantage in attack often go unpunished as officials do not recognize the tactical implication and the attacking advantage that is being denied Slide 15
16 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT Tactical Foul Characteristics: primarily occur in the attacking end of the field, often within yards of the goal committed by defenders to prevent an attacking team or player from gaining a numerical advantage committed because a defender knows that he has been beaten by the attacker committed to prevent the ball and/or attacking player from getting into space behind a defender or behind the defense. Slide 16
17 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT Tactical Foul Characteristics: committed to give the defending team time to get goal-side of the ball, i.e. to give the defending team time to get a numerical advantage between the ball and the goal committed by defending players because they acknowledge that the attacking team will have a credible opportunity to go-to-goal with a high degree of effectiveness Slide 17
18 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT Referee Awareness Referees should ask themselves, why did the player commit the foul here? Referees should look for open areas of space that the ball would normally be played into or where an attacking player would run into if they were to receive the ball. Referee should look for one vs. one situations, e.g. an attacking player along the touchline going by his or her defender into space to set up a cross or to cut in toward the goal. Slide 18
19 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT Referee Awareness Players work very hard to hide tactical fouls and make them difficult for the referee to identify Referees should be acutely aware that the overtly minor nature of the challenge may be designed to intentionally hide the overriding reason the player is actually committing the foul Tactical fouls are also labeled as gamesmanship, as they are designed to cheat the game and/or disrupt attacking play Slide 19
20 TACTICAL FOUL MISCONDUCT DO NOT confuse with Denying a Goal- Scoring Opportunity. NOT the same thing!! Tactical Advantage: the gaining of a numerical advantage or advantageous field position by an individual player or a team the total number of defenders is not necessarily a relevant or deciding factor can occur anywhere and need not be directed straight toward the goal itself can be any distance from the goal need not be a direct goal-scoring opportunity Slide 20
21 DOGSO Denies opposing team a goal by deliberately handling the ball Denies opposing team a goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball Denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player s goal by an offense punishable by a free kick or penalty kick Direction at the goal Distance to the goal Distance to the ball Defenders limited number Slide 21
22 Right vs Best Concept When can the referees use their discretionary powers and employ the concept of BEST (Law 18) with respect to misconduct situations?? Simply Put Never! BEST can only be implemented prior to the Referee deciding that the act of misconduct has been committed, i.e. not after the fact. Once referees determine that an act is indeed misconduct, they are then mandated by the LOTG to do what is RIGHT and, therefore, must administer the appropriate punishment accordingly. Slide 22
23 Right vs Best Concept Then when can the referees really use their discretionary powers and employ the concept of BEST (Law 18)? Simply Put Anytime misconduct is not an issue A referee s BEST judgment is always being applied when determining whether an act has crossed the line (or not) and actually become an act of misconduct. A referee must first determine and recognize what level of play constitutes misconduct for the game situation at hand. Misconduct can vary from game to game and situation to situation. Slide 23
24 Right vs Best Concept Is it really a foul? If it is a foul, does it need to be called? Slide 24
25 Right vs Best Concept Is it trifling? Does it impact the ability of the player to play the ball? Does it impact your ability to officiate this match? Does it undermine your authority? Is it an insult to the game? Slide 25
26 BT1 Persistent Infringement In a U17 upper level boys match a defender D6 has been marking the center striker A7 from the beginning of the game. D6 has constantly ( 7 different times) committed little ticky-tacky, but annoying, fouls that the referee considers to be trifling and does not whistle or acknowledge any of them. In the 35 th minute of the game D6 grabs A7 s shirt just enough to knock him off the ball. The referee blows his whistle to stop play and awards a DFK to A7 for the holding foul committed by D6. Even though this is the first foul called by the referee against D6 in the game, the referee should still issue a caution to D6 for persistent infringement. A. TRUE B. FALSE
27 BT2 - MISCONDUCT Player A4 is running with the ball and has only the goalkeeper, D3, between him and the goal. About 30-yards from the goal a defender, D7, is able to grab the back of A4 s shirt with just enough force to make him lose control of the ball, which allows another defender, D9, to be able to catch up and kick the ball away. In every game and for every situation that occurs as described above, which of the answers below is always an incorrect action by the referee (more than one answer is possible). A. allowing play to continue B. blowing the whistle to stop play C. restarting play with a DFK D. restarting play with an IFK E. issuing a yellow card to player D7 for a tactical foul F. issuing a red card to player D7 for DOGSO G. not issuing any cards
28 BT3 - MISCONDUCT A defender, D6, is taking a DFK from a point about 25-yards from her own goal. She attempts to kick the ball back to her GK, who is standing off to the side of the goal. Instead, D6 inadvertently kicks the ball directly at her own goal. Just before the ball enters the goal another defender, D5, knocks the ball wide of the goal and over the goal-line with her forearm. The referee should: (more than one answer is possible) A. Restart with a penalty kick B. Restart with a corner kick C. Retake the original DFK D. Issue a yellow card to player D5 for a tactical foul E. Issue a red card to player D5 for denying a sure goal F. Not issue any cards
29 IS IT A FOUL? Simply use the definition Slide 29
30 DANGEROUS PLAY General Definition Playing in a dangerous manner is any situation where a player, while trying to play the ball, endangers someone (including oneself) and exposes them to the risk of possible injury. In youth games dangerous play, more often than not, is a result of an accidental play situation. Playing in a dangerous manner involves no physical contact between the players. If there is physical contact, then it becomes a DFK offense. For a playing situation to be considered as a dangerous play foul it must be committed with an opponent nearby and in such a manner that it causes an opponent to cease active play for the ball so as to avoid receiving or causing injury. The dangerous action becomes an offense only when an opponent (not a teammate) is adversely or unfairly affected. Slide 30
31 IMPEDING General Definition. Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the path of the opponent to obstruct, block, interfere with, slow down or force a change of direction by an opponent, when the ball is not within playing distance of either player. All players have a right to their position on the field of play, being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent. Impeding involves no physical contact between the players. If there is physical contact, then it becomes a DFK offense. Shielding the ball is permitted, as long as the ball is kept with playing distance. However, extension of the arms to obstruct an opponent is illegal. Slide 31
32 OFFENSES AGAINST GK When GKs gain possession of the ball with their hands, it cannot be challenged or played by an opponent in any manner. Goalkeepers are considered to be in clear possession of the ball with their hands: While the ball is held between their hands While the ball is secured between their hand and any surface (e.g. the ground, goal post or own body) While holding the ball in an outstretched open palm While in the act of bouncing the ball on the ground While in the act of tossing the ball into the air. A ball controlled by a GK using means other than the hands may be legally challenged by an opponent. Slide 32
33 OFFENSES AGAINST GK Challenging for the ball that is in the clear possession (hands) of the GK. Attempting to prevent the GK from releasing the ball from his hands. A player must be penalized for playing in a dangerous manner if he kicks or attempts to kick the ball when the GK is in the process of releasing it. Attempting to restrict the movement of the GK by unfairly impeding him, e.g. at the taking of a corner kick. Slide 33
34 OFFENSES BY GK Goalkeeper inside own Penalty Area: a) Taking more than 6 seconds while controlling the ball with their hands before releasing it into play b) Regaining hand control of the ball prior to being touched by any other player c) Touching ball with hands after ball having been deliberately kicked to GK by teammate d) Touching ball with hands after receiving it directly from a throw-in by a teammate Slide 34
35 HANDLING General Definition. The foul of handling involves the act by a player to make deliberate contact with the ball using his hand or arm. The use of the top of the shoulder is not considered as using the hand. It is the result of the movement towards the ball with the hand or arm (not the ball towards the hand). Handling includes touching the ball with an object held in the hand or hitting the ball with a thrown object (e.g. a shoe, shinguard). The position of the hand, by itself, does not necessarily mean that a foul has occurred, especially if it is a natural playing position. The contact of the ball by the offending player must be planned and deliberate. A player s hand movement, which is the result of an instinctive and protective reflex action (unexpected ball at close range) does not constitute a deliberate attempt to make contact with the ball. If a player benefits from a ball that makes contact with the hand or arm (accidental, i.e. ball to hand not hand to ball), a handling offense has NOT occurred. The time of contact between hand and ball is when a handling foul (or not) decision must be made, not at a time after the fact. Slide 35
36 HOLDING General Definition. Holding (or pulling) is the act of a player to prevent an opponent from moving past or around using the hand, the arms or the body. Holding offenses are typically non-violent, but are a common tactic to prevent an opponent from gaining possession of the ball or taking up an advantageous position. Oftentimes it involves grabbing or holding onto a piece of clothing. Holding offenses are often prevalent prior to restarts, i.e. corner kicks and free kicks near the goal. Players should be warned when holding an opponent in anticipation of the restart. If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding him inside the penalty area, the holding offense is punished as having taken place within the penalty area. Slide 36
37 SPITTING AT General Definition. Spitting At is the deliberate act or gesture by a player directed at an opponent to convey anger, displeasure, dislike and/or disdain and contempt. Spitting At is the gesture of spitting in the direction of the opponent regardless of the distance between them. It should not be interpreted as being only an act of actually being close enough to be able to spit on an opponent. In many cultures the gesture of spitting at is the ultimate insult. It should always be considered as a vile and repulsive act, which warrants a red card and send-off. Slide 37
38 CARELESS General Definition means that a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge has not exercised due caution when making a play, usually an unintentional act. Players are always responsible for playing under control and with a sense of awareness with respect to their surroundings. Typically a result of a lack of skill or ability, poor judgment or timing, and/or a miscalculation of strength. No additional disciplinary action is needed, if the foul is judged to be careless. Slide 38
39 RECKLESS General Definition means that a player has acted with complete disregard for the safety of, the danger to, or the consequences for their opponent. Clearly outside the norm of fair play. Intentionally playing without any concern, i.e. the bull in a china shop syndrome. Playing in an out-ofcontrol fashion with a designed intent to intimidate an opponent (but not with the intent to injure) or to gain an unfair advantage. A player shall be shown a yellow card and cautioned, if the foul is judged to be reckless. Slide 39
40 USING EXCESSIVE FORCE General Definition means that a player has far exceeded the use of force necessary to make a fair play for the ball and has total disregard for an opponent s safety. Totally beyond the bounds of normal play. It is usually a deliberate act with the implied intent to physically harm or injure an opponent. A player shall be shown a red card and sent off, if it is judged that excessive force was used in committing the foul. Slide 40
41 KICKING General Definition. The act of kicking is the deliberate action of swinging the foot in a kicking motion, whether it is at an opponent or the ball. A kicking offense occurs when the foot makes contact with an opponent regardless of whether the contact is first made with the ball. After having kicked the ball, if the player s follow-thru makes contact with an opponent, a kicking foul has been committed, unless the opponent runs into the kicker s foot. When a player slips and in the act of falling down his feet swing out in a kicking motion, it is not considered to be a deliberate act of kicking. Attempted Kicking is a deliberate act made solely with the intent to do harm to an opposing player by making physical contact using the foot, but no contact ensues. It is not considered to be an accidental act and should be punished with a send-off. Slide 41
42 STRIKING General Definition. The act of striking is a deliberate movement or swinging of the arm whether it is directed at an opponent or not, wildly swinging the elbows to clear space or quickly turning with outstretched arms due to momentum. A striking offense occurs when the player s hand or arm subsequently makes contact with an opponent. A striking offense can also be committed by making direct contact with an opponent using an elbow, the head, a knee or by throwing an object (including the ball). When a player slips and his arms swing out to break an accidental fall, it is not considered to be a deliberate act of striking. Attempted Striking is a deliberate act made solely with the intent to do harm to an opposing player by making physical contact by using the hand, arm, elbow, etc., but no contact ensues. It is not considered to be an accidental act and should be punished with a send-off. Slide 42
43 TRIPPING General Definition. The act of extending the foot (feet) or body that is clearly directed at and physically knocks an opponent off their feet or causes them to lose their balance (regardless of whether they fall to the ground or not). A slide tackle from the rear that physically impedes the progress of an opponent is considered to be a tripping offense. Stepping in and undercutting an opponent, who has jumped up in the air, is also considered to be a tripping violation. However, when a player falls over an opponent it ends up in effect that he has been tripped, but actually it is only as a result of natural play and NOT due to a directed extension of the foot or body by an opponent. This is NOT a tripping offense. Attempted Tripping is a deliberate attempt to intentionally trip an opponent that is unsuccessful. Slide 43
44 JUMPING AT General Definition. The deliberate act of jumping in the air which ends up being in the direction of an opponent whether intended to jump into the opponent or to head the ball or just to gain space. It is the launching one s body toward an opponent either from a standing or running position. Normally contact is not required, as specified by the word at, but it is also includes when a player jumps through the air, feet first, with a two-footed attempt to tackle away the ball from an opponent. Jumping At can be done (1) to intimidate or (2) in a feigned manner (really meant to distract an opponent) or (3) in a genuine, but unsuccessful attempt to gain the ball. Goalkeepers who jump into or diagonally over a player or players are in effect jumping at an opponent. Jumping up in the air vertically to head the ball is a deliberate act, but since the direction is straight up and not toward an opponent, and is regarded as an attempt to play the ball, it is NOT considered to be a foul. Must be able to differentiate between jumping at and undercutting. Slide 44
45 CHARGING General Definition. The act of charging is when a player within playing distance of the ball challenges for space using physical contact without using his arms or elbows. A fair charge is commonly defined as shoulder to shoulder contact with both players having at least one foot on the ground and using an acceptable normal level of force. An unfair charge occurs when (1) player contact is not shoulder to shoulder, (2) either player has both feet off the ground or (3) performed with clearly an undue level of force or undertaken with a running start. The amount of force permitted must be relative to the age, size and experience of the players involved. Slide 45
46 PUSHING General Definition. The offense of pushing is the act of a player making contact with an opponent, whether it is with his hands, arms or body, in an attempt to move or shove his opponent away. Any extension of the arms or elbows away from the body or thrusting of the body which is used to shove an opponent is considered to be an act of pushing. A fair shoulder to shoulder charge quickly deteriorates into the foul of pushing when the hand or arm is raised and makes forceful contact with an opponent. Slide 46
47 TACKLING General Definition. A tackling foul is the act by a player attempting to take the ball away from an opponent using his feet in order to gain possession that results in the player making contact with the opponent before touching the ball. If a player attempting to tackle the ball away from an opponent, first makes contact with the ball before subsequently making contact with his opponent, a tackling foul has not been committed. Depending on the circumstances, this could still be a foul play (i.e. kicking,), but by definition it cannot be considered as a tackling foul. Simply put, a tackling foul requires the act of making contact with an opponent prior to contact with the ball. Slide 47
