  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,508 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Any that you are certain you are right.

    With phases of play and all that crap,i thought the forward was onside - going by the law. ( Though in my mind he should actually be offside )

    If you know what i mean.

    I got 3! League 2 ref. I actually thought I got most of them right! :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    The end has been chosen, but the away team has ended with just nine players on the pitch following two players being dismissed during extra time. With regards to the penalty shootout, should you:


    Offer your two assistant referees to the team with nine players to make them back up to 11




    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,945 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla

    Could well be to stop people from seeing the answers and taking the test again for a perfect score!

    6/12, not very useful without an explanation though

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Admittedly I only got the "How many sendings off until the game is abandoned?" question right because I often test that theory in FIFA.

    Got 9, and knew that question for the same reason too


    No idea which ones were wrong but pretty sure I got the flag signal ones right. Most were educated guesses though

    Got question 2 wrong so.:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,392 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    Why is it a corner if the ball blows back in? Surely the ball is in play after the free is taken?


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,855 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    I got 1,3,4,5,7,12 right. Started off so well:(

    This is one of the ones that got me as well. I know that if you score from a throw in then a goal kick is awarded but surely a direct free kick sees the ball go back in normal play :confused:

    Other one I missed was number 10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    8/12

    Made a balls up of a couple that now seem perfectly reasonable that I know the answer.

    It's a specific stipulation of Law 13 that if you kick the ball into your own goal from a free kick of either kind without the ball touching anyone else, then a corner kick is awarded. In the event of a pass back that misses or something. If the goalie scuffs it, it counts as an OG on the keeper.

    I think Peter Shilton very nearly got his finger tips to an indirect free kick once. Interesting to see if you can catch the keeper out in that situation.

    I got a poor 6/12, but dont feel so bad now as it seems as though most people got a similar score. :pac:
