making you a better referee
Stop play show the defend a red card sending off a player allow a direct kick to be retaken
when a coach tries to encroach into opponent technical area, you first warn him and ask him to go back
The IFAB has published a detailed description now of how to handle as well. Quite useful.
I want to learn the questions
Good luck and enjoy the quizzes.
Can I please get clarification on this question as I believe I answered it correctly based on what the law states. Mine was the first answer.
(only 12% got this correct in the original quiz). A defender stops a promising attack. Before you start the disciplinary sanction procedure, the attacker takes the free kick quickly and creates a clear goal-scoring opportunity for his team-mate. What do you decide?
0/1
Allow play to continue and show the defender a yellow card at the next stoppage
Allow play to continue and show the defender a red card at the next stoppage
Allow play to continue and don’t show the defender a yellow card
Stop play and show show the defender a yellow card
Correct answer
Allow play to continue and don’t show the defender a yellow card

Laws of the Game 2019-2020 (page 107): Once the referee has decided to caution or send off a player, play must not be restarted until the sanction has been administered, unless the non-offending team takes a quick free kick, has a clear goal-scoring opportunity and the referee has not started the disciplinary sanction procedure. The sanction is administered at the next stoppage; if the offence was denying the opposing team an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, the player is cautioned.
PS: Technically you can stop play here, but ideally you let them have that goal-scoring opportunity.

For sure. It’s published in week 3 of the LOTG quiz. Note from IFAB there on this matter.
I disagree with your answer for question 5. The stated rationale from IFAB for this change is that “it is unfair that [a] ‘new’ attack must be stopped to issue the YC/RC.” The next sentence makes it very clear that the sanction can be given at the next stoppage. The final point about showing a yellow card for DOGSO is that since the quick free kick “restores” the obvious goal scoring opportunity which makes a YC appropriate instead of a RC. Please see the IFAB’s presentation on page 82 to read this rationale: https://static-3eb8.kxcdn.com/files/document-category/072019/RjehfBDIsukvVRx.pdf
Hi Erik,
You mention the DOGSO, in this case it’s a promising attack. And I’ve been personally in touch with IFAB about the yellow card. Not showing the yellow card is completely in line with what their rationale is for showing a yellow instead of the red in the case you mention. Although it’s not written out, that is the spirit of the game they had in mind. What you see now: it’s changed that way for the 2021 LOTG and specifically mentioned as apparently their idea behind the rule wasn’t clearly written out yet.
