😮 Stop play, bring together the player and the captain and ask him not to do it again.
❤️ Ignore the incident and play on#LawsoftheGameGame ... See MoreSee Less

Correct answer: 👍 Stop play, issue a yellow card to the player for dissent by action.
Depends on what level you play at. According to the laws (if im correct), at NPL you do nothing, no card no warning, just play on. At FQPL, especially regional, apparently its considered dissent and you get a yellow plus 10 mins “in the bin”. But realistically come-on. What a crap rule. Just play on, maybe give him a quiet word but if that’s “dissent” and someone takes offence to that, seriously go and play tennis, golf or some other individual sport 👋🏽
Depends on the referee. Some have played the game and understand the frustration and some have no idea just the power the whistle gives them. And at the end of the day they stuff up they ref next week. No suspensions for them.
The player chucks a mini tantrum. Big deal, keep playing. Stops and starts to the game are distracting to everyone.
FIFA Laws clearly state that this offense is dissent by action and constitutes a yellow card. No further discussion needed! The Laws of the Game mention that a yellow card is mandatory. “Because a player is cautioned if guilty of dissent by word or action.” And what is dissent? The vocabulary in the LOTG clearly explains it. “Public disagreement (verbal and/or physical) with a match official’s decision; punishable by a caution (yellow card).”
Games gone so soft at amateur level, leave sin bins for the rugby codes and teach refs to control games
How’s the over the top studs up tackle in the first instance!!!… that’s a terrible tackle and should a not have been missed by the officials…..
Straight red cobba unlugy tell ya story walkin enjoy ya week off
Play hadn't resumed looks like the throw given to yellow and player didn't like the decision. Yellow card for dissent and resume with original throw in decision to yellow.
So dramatic over a throw in 🙄
😆 assuming this was the first incident
A bit of understanding from a player’s point of view is needed in this situation. The player is clearly aggrieved about the physicality of the preceding tackle and merely demonstrates this when throwing the ball into the ground. A quick word on the run by the official in charge would suffice. Anything more than that could unnecessarily see the situation escalate to something else. Quick chat play on. If the player wants to go on with it then by all means caution him. The problem most of the time is when officials are a bit overzealous with their rulings. Players get annoyed and referees then lose control of the match. At the end of the day let’s keep everyone on the pitch, officiate with understanding and perspective and enjoy the game. It is about the players, not the officials.
NRL definition is Shoulder Change, leading with the shoulder without grabbing the opposite player it would be considered a misconduct but in soccer it is just miscommunication
If the referee called the fowl throw then this wouldn’t of happened.
The initial throw-in was a foul throw too
Shoe the whole clip and how far the player went
Im more dissapointed the yellow guy hasnt flown in 2 footed from that suicide pass
Should be a red card for old mate chucking a hissy fit and throwing the ball, over a bloody throw in 😂🤦🏻♂️😂
Invite the fella over for a tea party would be my call.
Jordan Malone don’t tell the linesman he’s had a “really good game” 😂
Stop the play and then that is an immediate yellow card for dissent by action. Very sad to see people on this thread condoning this sort of dissent towards an official, they're probably the same people wondering why we don't have enough referees.
Ball slipped, wet ball?🤣
Joshy Wilson very true😂 power tripping ref these days
Michael Townsend would’ve Been sent off
Dissent by action?? Pretty sure he gave the ref a serve along with throwing the ball away. And isn’t dissent a sin bin offence???
