I would think he was,surely the player who "lifts"the ball has touched it more than once in the movement to set it up which I think is illegal,If I remember this was allowed up to a point but after this goal it was outlawed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjq2xT-tx38

No - Laws 13 states "For both direct and indirect free kicks, the ball must be stationary when the kick is taken and the kicker must not touch the ball again
until it has touched another player." I cannot see how the player can play this by only touching the ball once from a stationary position.

Ref,just finished ref course,should be allocated league next 2 weeks to start,any advice..?
Football is more than just a game,it's life..!!
Prepare the night before a game, plan your route and allow for traffic. Bring two different colour jerseys in your bag.
Join the referees society
Seek advice from fellow referees, there is a wealth of experience that can be tapped into.
Make your reputation, be consistent and fair. Never pre-judge a game, the easy ones are the ones you least expect as are the difficult ones.
If you are nervous, try not to let it show, players will try to exploit any weakness.
Only give what you can see, don't be swayed by players, managers, supporters
Be prepared for games where you feel your performance is poor, honestly evaluate your own performance and learn from your mistakes.
Enjoy the good ones, because the next one might not be so good.
Enjoy it, you will make more friends than enemies!

The goal scored by Cousin, should this be allowed to stand:

Cause the ref blew the whistle and Marney picked up the ball after it was blown.
That is what I thought in the first place but something is telling me, once the ref blows the whistle, the ball is in play.
hi i am just wondering what is the story with the jerseys in the munster junior cup, is it the home team or away team that change. not sure about this as i think it is different rules for different competitions.
Not familiar with MFA rules so I checked their website.
Rule 5 States "Players in each competing team must wear the registered colours of the club for which they are playing except when opposing teams have similar colours, in which case the visiting team shall have choice. A goalkeeper must wear a shirt or sweater of different colour, provided that said shirt or sweater is of a colour distinctive from that of his opponents. Referees shall have power to instruct a player to change his shirt or sweater if they consider the colours not quite distinctive from that of his opponents. Referees shall have the power to deal with any player refusing to comply with their instruction in this respect."
So according to this visiting teams have choice.

A query about the penalty Ireland got, it appears the Georgian player changes his mind about handballing it, so could the ref give a foul for intent to handball or does it not exist, since intent is used for most fouls.
Hi The Ref!
Can you give me any idea what's happening after you fill in a form for Referee School of Excellence?
Thanks!
Should Stillian Petrov have been sent-off for handling on the line vs Everton in the FA Cup even though Everton scored from the rebound?
I think he should!
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
