Refs Need Love Too

This is a subjective call. The simple act of a teammate, kicking the ball with their foot and it ending up in the goalkeeper’s hands is not enough for this to be an indirect free kick. The referee needs to believe that this pass was deliberately intended for the Goalkeeper.

Call the cops! Match is abandoned. Lifetime suspension from all youth sporting events. Criminal charges should be pressed. What do you think should happen to him? #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #coach #soccercoach

USA vs Mexico Gold Cup Final Handball Controversy! 😅 This is a tough one! I can completely appreciate both calls. Both for a handball offense and a penalty kick, and a no call to allow a play to continue. It is truly up to the opinion of the Referee. Does he consider it to be a natural reaction of someone trying to support himself falling over going to ground? Or is this a deliberate action to intercept a ball rolling by him in the penalty area? I find the latter hard to believe. What do you think? ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##mexico##usa##goldcup##handball #tiktoksoccercampaign

Handball controversy in the buildup to this RED Card and Penalty Kick in the Europa League semi-final. Yes, the ball hits Garnacho’s arm in the build up, but it is not a handball offense per the laws of the game.

Replying to @orjan losers complain about the refs. 99% of the time, it’s the players on the field who decide the outcome of the match. acting like there is some grand conspiracy is disrespectful to Inter Milan and the referee on this match. ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##barcelona##milan

#mexico supporters were confused and upset after this goal was scored for the #dominicanrepublic last night in the opening match of the gold cup. Do you think the ref should’ve awarded a Drop Ball or allowed the play to continue? #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #mexican

Huge controversy in the FA cup final!!! do you think it was a denial of obvious goal, scoring opportunity, and a red card? Or should it just have been a yellow card and a direct check for stopping the promising attack? #manchestercity #manchester #wembley #crystalpalace #facup #england #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo

Replying to @brian my heart breaks for Jamal. He is a phenomenal player with a long career ahead of him. I hope he makes a full recovery as quickly as possible. As far as a potential foul on Donnarumma, I don’t have anything. I think it was just a freak accident. What do you think? ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo

The definition of a “Deliberate Play” has caused a ton of misunderstanding across the world. We must use the guidance provided by IFAB in the laws of the game, not the common English definition of deliberate. This play is borderline, but enough of the criteria are not met for this be considered a deliberate play in my opinion. #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #offside

The laws of the game defined goalkeeper control of the ball very different differently than the common definition or as it is seen in other sports. Per the laws of the game, it looks like the goalkeeper has “control”. These laws are designed to protect the goalkeeper. Many goalkeepers can tell you horror stories of having hands and fingers and wrist broken because players came in too aggressively when they were trying to collect a ball. They are highly vulnerable in this position and as referees safety is our number one priority. ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##gk##goalkeeper@@Koen Geven

No matter what decision you make here, you are going to make someone angry. At the grassroots level, I am always going to err on the side of safety. At the international and professional level, they may be more willing to let an immediate attacking opportunity play out as seen here. I firmly believe that if the Referee had a good look at the impact of this ball into the players head that they probably would’ve stopped to play immediately.

I’ve watched thousands of matches and have never seen a situation exactly like this. 😅What would you have done? I think the Referee got this exactly right with a yellow card for unsporting behavior and a penalty kick for the direct free kick offense. What do you think? #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #tiktoksoccercampaign

This is a subjective call. The referee needs to believe that this pass was deliberately kicked to the goalkeeper. Simply having it come off the foot from a teammate is not enough for the indirect free kick to be awarded. What do you think? ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##ajax##netherlands##gk##goalkeeper

This is a brutal call for any Referee to have to make. The margins are so slim. I think 99% of referees would call this as a foul in favor of the goalkeeper. in super slow motion with multiple angles, it does look like the attacker got to this ball a fraction of a second before the goalkeeper got a touch on it. What do you think? #go#goalkeeperk#gko#Soccero#footballu#futbole#refereee#refsneedlovetoo

The constant whining about every perceived injustice has become comical. Yes, mistakes by referees will be made and fouls on the field will be missed, but accusing referees of bias is insulting to the referees who are simply doing their job to the best of their abilities. Don’t listen to the commentators either. They aren’t up-to-date with the laws of the game or the considerations. Find a Referee that you trust and ask for their objective opinion. ##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##barcelona##realmadridfc@@fcbarcelona@@Real Madrid C.F.

What a match!!! With play moving so quickly, it’s impossible to get every decision right in real time. With the additional video angles, referees have a chance to correct clear and obvious errors. Tonight, the refs got the key decisions, correct with the aid of technology. Do you think it helped the game? ##barcelona##inter##milan##championsleague##Soccer##football##futbol##referee##refsneedlovetoo##var

You must allow the Goalkeeper to release the ball. Attempting to kick or block the release is an Indirect Free Kick offense. #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #gk #goalkeeper

Am I crazy? I see this is a deliberate, clear, cynical, failure to respect the distance and a yellow card offense. What do you think? #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #yellowcard

Replying to @3.touch.tekkers the laws of the game are free to download from the App Store. I’m amazed how few people actually take the time to do some research before they post misinformation. This throw is perfectly legal per of the laws of the game. what are some other common myths that people yell out at the field? #s#Soccerf#footballf#futbolr#refereer#refsneedlovetoos#soccermoms#soccerdad

This is a handball offense. Even if you do not deliberately strike the ball or make your body un naturally bigger, you still cannot score if the ball hits your arm and then it immediately goes into goal. @Jacob #Soccer #football #futbol #referee #refsneedlovetoo #fatherson #dad
