1.TEAM COOPERATION
In the pre-match talk it is essential to emphasise that eye
contact is a two way process but the clear use of the flag
is of the utmost importance to ensure that the referee and
his assistants have understood each other.
Referees should always remind their assistants of the ‘wait
and see’ technique and the importance of:
+ correct positioning and
angle of view.
+ cooperation.
+ assistance with offences
unseen by the referee
+ assistance with fouls near
or in the penalty area.
There should always be full
confidence among the officials and it is up to the referee
to ensure that he builds this confidence and clearly and
openly discusses all aspects of the expected performance to
enhance motivation.
2. SIMULATION
Referees must be
aware that simulation can occur anywhere on the field and
players must be punished if they clearly intend to deceive
the referee. This infringement does not only happen in or
near the penalty area.
It is essential to be strict on simulation as this is not
acceptable and it makes the referee’s job that much more
difficult.
3. DISSENT
Players must be
cautioned if they:
+ show dissent by running towards the referee or assistant
in protest.
+show dissent by action or gesture
+verbally or physically demand a yellow card for an
opponent.
4.ATTACKING FREE KICKS
+ Referees must
ensure they have total control at attacking free kicks. It
is therefore very important that once the free kick has been
awarded the referee must make sure that the ball is placed
in the correct position and the kicker clearly told to wait
for a signal from the referee before proceeding. (the
signal: showing the whistle to the kicker.)
+ All defending players must be away from the area and
immediately retire 9.15m away. If they do not they should be
cautioned.
+ Once the ball has been put in the correct position it must
not be removed.
+ No encroachment is allowed. If this occurs during the
taking of the free kick a goal is not scored, the kick
should be retaken an the offending player cautioned.
