EXAMPLE (REPORT)
In the 40th minute, the score 1-1, the ball went out for a goal kick. Player X deliberately and violently kicked an opponent using her right leg. There was contact between Player X's foot and Player Y's shin. The foul occurred inside the penalty area when the ball was not in play. I was 10m away from the incident with a clear viewing angle. I sent off player X for committing violent conduct as per law 12. She left the field immediately and did not return. The game was restarted by a goal kick.
Violent conduct - 3 game suspension
Example (Report)
In the 50th minute, the score 2-1 in favor of team Y, I whistled a penalty against team X because a player committed a deliberate handball in his own penalty area. At that moment, Coach X started shouting insults at me and my assistant referees (he was outside his technical area). He made the following remarks: “Are you blind?”, “How much did they pay you to referee this game?”, “Read the rules!”. Having already warned Coach X earlier in the game, I sent him off by showing him the red card because he used offensive, insulting, or abusive language. Coach X told me he didn't want to leave the technical area. I informed him that if he did not leave the field in the next two minutes, I would stop the game. Coach X refused to leave, so I stopped the game after 50 minutes of play.
Educator who uses offensive, insulting, or abusive language or gestures -
3 game suspension
