Relahni said:1) If a defender is hustling with an attacker 6 of 1 etc - then takes the ball off attacker, then arms linked and defenders tries to free his arm from attacker to get clear and catches attacker in neck - is this a foul?
2) If an attacker beats last defender - who then falls on floor and grabs the ball blatantly with hand and holds it - what do you do?
3) If an attacker shoots - a goal bound shot that is blocked by a defenders arm in the penalty area (from around 12 yards from where the shot was taken) what is your decision?
4) An attacker beats the second from last defender - has a clear run on goal and is hacked down (with defenders foot or knee) on attackers thigh - around 4/5 inches above attackers knee. This is defenders second foul on attacker - what is the decision (there is no attempt at all to play the ball - which is on the floor at the time.
5) a player has been consistently fouling in a game - he then goes studs up on another players calf muscle - Lucas Neill v Jamie Carragher style - (the player on the floor is not getting up and has dislocated his shoulder - and has to go to hospital) What do you do?

If it was deliberate, penalty kick and red card for DOGSO via deliberate handball. If it wasn't, no action.
Direct free kick and red card for serious foul play.
See above.

Wowbagger said:If you see it, it's DOGSO, red card, penalty or direct free kick for pushing an opponent. You don't blow up when the push goes in, though: you hold off on the whistle until he shoots: if he scores, play advantage and give the goal, and if not, there's no advantage, so pull it back.
If you don't see it, however (and you do pretty much have to be in exactly the right place to see that sort of thing), then play on.
Wowbagger said:No, I didn't send him off. I did turn down what he thought was a stone bonk penalty for handball, and had I been listening I'd probably have had grounds to walk him for offensive, insulting and abusive language, but there's a certain point after a big decision when your ears go numb and you just block everything out until everyone shuts up.
I tell you what the most important thing is after giving a big decision like that: it's the way you give the next one: the ball bobbled out for a throw and I made an extra special effort to be extra-convinced in the decision than normal. If you start seeming wobbly and indecisive and not very vocal after that, they'll think that you think you made a mistake. Confidence in everything you're doing really is an under-appreciated part of it.
