How well did you do?

  1. Which five items of clothing must a player wear?
  2. Can a player be offside if the ball is played "square"?
  3. The Athletic number seven takes a corner. The ball hits the referee, who is standing in the goal area, deflects to an Athletic forward who is alone on the goal line. The forward heads the ball into the net. Decision and reasons for the decision?

Answers

Ref blowing whistle
  1. Shirt, shorts, socks, shinguards, footwear. Shinguards must be covered by the socks, must be made of a suitable material, and must provide a reasonable degree of protection.
  2. Yes
  3. Goal The ball striking the referee does not affect the situation. The forward is not offside because he received the ball directly from a corner kick.
