When to PenalizeWhen to Penalize
One of your duties is to “Enforce” the Laws of the game. Does this mean you call everything???
Advice to Referees (PART C. SERIOUS FOUL PLAY AND VIOLENT CONDUCT and annual FIFA Circulars) state:
The Laws of the Game are intended to ensure games be played with as little interference as possible. Therefore, it is the duty of the referees to penalize only significant breaches of the Law.
Constant whistling for trifling or doubtful breaches produces bad feeling and loss of temper for the players and spoils the pleasure of the game.
Fouls that don’t impact the ability of a player to play the ball should not be called.
