There are many confusing and seeming conflicting rules at soccer games, but regardless of the parent or player understanding of the rules, the referee has the final say. Like it or not, on the soccer field during a game, as arbitrary and fair as some calls may seem, they are at the discretion of the person in the black and white striped shirt with the yellow and red cards in the pocket.
According to the rules, soccer games are to be played in two halves, each half consisting of 45 minutes. A half-time break of not more than 15 minutes can also be scheduled. However, due to approaching darkness, if a game is expected to take more than two hours, it can be shortened with an equal amount of time taken from each half. Provided both teams agree and the referee approves, each half can be shorter but it has to be decided before the game begins.
Some of the calls that ruffle the feathers of parents, especially in soccer games with younger players are the rules governing personal fouls. Rules are ambiguous concerning what constitutes a foul, but when two players are angling for ball possession, as long as their arms, hands and elbows do not come into play, chances are there be no foul called. It is these incidents that often draw the most criticism of the fans, especially the parents.
Card Color Indicates Level Of Discipline
The referee will carry two cards, one yellow and one red and when a player receives a tallow card, it is warning for a foul or unacceptable play, but may not require ejection from the game. A player in soccer games receiving a red car will be on the sidelines for the remainder of the game, and an infraction considered bad enough to warrant such action, the red card can be given without first being issued a warning. This, again is at the discretion of the referee.
As most people understand, soccer games are played without the use of hands, although they do come in handy at certain times during play. The only player allowed to use theo hands is the goalie, and then only if the ball is not considered a pass by a teammate. If a member of the team kicks that ball to their own goalie, the goalie must use their feet of head to pass the ball. Otherwise he will be called for handling the ball and possession will go to the other team.
