 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I have selected the most common offences by players in matches for decisions.<\/em><\/p>\n

These are, TRIPPING OR ATTEMPTING TO TRIP AN OPPONENT; PUSHING AN OPPONENT ; CHARGING AN OPPONENT\/CHALLENGING FROM BEHIND AND HOLIDING AN OPPONENT.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are going to look at these offences to determine whether they are committed in a careless manner; or by using excessive force.<\/em><\/p>\n

As stated earlier , a careless offence attracts direct free kick ; a reckless offence, a direct free kick and caution(yellow card) and using excessive force attracts a direct free kick and an expulsion (red card).<\/em><\/p>\n

When any of these offences are committed in the penalty area, the sanction is of course penalty.<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIPPING AN OPPONENT<\/em><\/p>\n

A trip is simply defined as \u201cto cause or attempt to cause an opponent to fall.\u201d As we accept this definition , it means that a trip can be induced by foot ; by hand ; or by the body.<\/em><\/p>\n

An example: An attacking player tries to drible the ball past a defender who has moved into his path , the referee has to determine the manner of the tripping whether the offence is committed carelessly, Recklessly or by using excessive force to sanction appropriately.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mostly skillful players are always objects of Tripping offences in attempts to stop them from scoring or advancing attacks.<\/em><\/p>\n

PUSHING<\/em><\/p>\n

A push is delivered conventionally by hand , but it is some-times possible with the thigh or the body. Law twelve is broken even if there is the slightest push.<\/em><\/p>\n

An offence is committed when an attacking player tries to move past an opponent in order to gain possession of the ball but is denied the opportunity by possibly a defender through pushing.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is important to note that it is immaterial whether the offence is committed by the hand , or the body.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pushing can be committed when a player decides to jump from behind to head the ball. Some \u2013times it is the player in front who sets up to push.<\/em><\/p>\n

The responsibility of the referee is to determine who has started the action and then sanction accordingly.<\/em><\/p>\n
