I would like to invite readers of this blog to try their knowledge on the Laws of the game. The answers are given at the sidebars on the right.
1. A defender clears a high ball using the 'bicycle kick'. As he was about to kick the ball, an opponent behind him attempt to head the ball. The leg strikes the opponent body instead of the ball. The referee should stop play and give a direct free kick or play on?
2. A striker moves into the penalty area with the ball. The defender tried to kick the ball but missed it and kicked the opponent instead. The referee should award a penalty kick or allow play to continue?
3. A defender tackles for the ball but before he kicked the ball, his leg tripped his opponent. Should the referee award a direct free kick or play on as the defender plays the ball?
4. An attacker took a shot at goal. The ball, however deflected from a defender who tried to stop the kick, to his team-mate who was already standing in an offside position when the shot was taken. An indirect free kick should be given for offside or allow the play to go on?
5. From a free kick near the penalty area, the ball rebound off the goalkeeper forward. An attacker who was not offside follow up the kick and kicked the ball towards goal. However his team-mate who was in an offside position ran towards the ball that was about to enter goal, touched and connected it into goal. Should a goal be awarded or a free kick against the player who was offside?
6. An attacker and a defender fell on the ground off the goal line while the ball was still in play in the penalty area. The defender striked the attacker while they were on the ground. The referee stopped play. He sent off the defender for violent conduct. He should restart play with a penalty kick, an indirect free kick or a dropped ball?
