Fouls
A foul is an unfair act of a player, deemed by the referee
to contravene the games law that interferes with the active player of the game.
Fouls are punished by the award of a direct free kick (possibly a penalty kick
inside the box) to the opposing team. There are two foul cards in the game.
Each card is given depending upon the decision of the referee. Player either
receiving a caution indicated by a yellow card or being dismissed (sent off)
from the field by indicating a red card. The dismissed player can’t be
replaced, their team is required to play without a player.
Offside
Offside can be called when an attacking player is in front
of the last defender when the pass is played through to them. The offside area
is designed to discourage players from simply hanging around the opponent’s
goal waiting for a pass. To be onside they must be played behind the last
defender when the ball is played to them. If the player is in front of the last
defender, then the player is deemed to be offside and the free kick is called
for the defending team. A player can’t be caught offside in their own half. The
goal keeper doesn’t count as a defender. If the ball is played backward and the
player is in front of the last defender then he is deemed to be onside.
