WILLIAM MISSES

FA CUP FINAL
Apparently some things are even more
important than football. A double-header of royal Marriage vs Football -
wedding and FA Cup final meant that the often a difficult choice
President of the FA, Prince William, had to forgo
the match of the day.
Kensington Palace announced "The Duke of
Cambridge will not be attending the FA Cup final
due to his responsibilities as best man at his
brother's wedding.”
Former England footballer and television
presenter Gary Lineker described it as a
“marriage made in heaven,” referring to the
clash between Chelsea and Manchester United.
DOGSO 03
FA Cup Final Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity
(DOGSO) used to be an automatic red card. Two
Wembley Stadium years ago, however, the Laws were changed so
that DOGSO fouls inside the penalty area that
involve a genuine attempt to play the ball are
now only cautioned (yellow card).
Note that outside the penalty area, all DOGSO
fouls remain sending-off offences unless the
referee plays advantage.
FA Cup final referee Michael Oliver
demonstrated the application of the DOGSO Law
when awarding a penalty to Chelsea: https://

SIMULATION 05
England v Nigeria Raheem Sterling was shown a yellow card for
simulation during England’s friendly against
Nigeria last Saturday. http://

Simulation is defined as “attempting to deceive
the referee by feigning injury or pretending to
have been fouled.” A player guilty of simulation
must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour.
Referees look for certain clues to spot
simulation, such as those described by British
psychologist Paul Morris who coined the term
“archer’s bow” to describe the unnatural position
of the arms, chest, and head of players who dive.

FREE KICK 06
Brazil vs Zaire Free kicks were part of the original 1863 Laws of
the Game and were defined as “the privilege of
1974 FIFA World Cup kicking at the ball, without obstruction in such a
manner as the kicker may think fit.”
These days opponents are required to remain at
least 10 yards from the ball until it is kicked and
clearly moves. Failure to respect the required
distance is sanctioned with a yellow card.
At the 1974 FIFA World Cup, Zaire defender
Mwepu Ilunga evidently had difficulty
understanding the nuances of Law 13: https://

YOUR QUESTIONS
07
Tim asks:
UEFA Champions
“Was Real Madrid’s first goal in the UEFA
Champions League Final legal?”
League Final
Answer:
It is an offence to prevent the goalkeeper from
releasing the ball from the hands, so the question
is whether Liverpool GK Loris Karius had
finished releasing the ball or not. It’s a close call!
