"You got 5 right"

Only got 4!

Don't want to be a referee anyway.

I got 7 but that last one is wrong so it is... I award myself 8

In blustery conditions, a goal kick is blown backwards past the keeper and into the goal. What happens?
 
    A: A goal is given and the keeper is given an ovation by the opposing team.   
    B: The goalkeeper is booked for having a banana foot.
    C: A corner is given.   
 
What a funny question. The answer to that is actually C.

"You got 3 right"
 

Some interesting rules that I didn't know, I got 6 right.

5 right. not bad. 

To embarrassed to tell ya. "cough cough 1"

To embarrassed to tell ya. "cough cough 1"

I only got one more mate, some of them rules were completely suprising to me, and the last one isn't even a proper answer! The key to the question is 'should'.

I got 5 right.

And I spent a while thinking as well. 

If you haven't done the quiz yet - do it at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/fun/quiz/newsid_2713000/2713327.stm# because I am going to talk about some of the answers now.






##### SPOILER ######

The goal kick blown backwards one I got wrong.  I didn't know whether they meant it had just been blown off the spot or the keeper had kicked it and then it went in.  I said a goal anyway.

The penalty re-take one I got wrong.  I was always under the impression that the same player had to take the spot kick again.

The removing shirt after a goal I got wrong.  I thought that was a yellow card everytime these days.  According to that quiz it says it isn't a yellow card offence.  Hmm... not too sure on that one now. 

I got 4. 

Same ones wrong as you JD and a couple of others obviously.

Should of have got 5 at least. It is a straight yellow if they take their shirt off after scoring!

I thought the goal kick one was confusing as well, I had the same problems with wondering if it was after he kicked it. Got it wrong.

I got the penalty re-take one correct.

And I also thought the shirt removal was an automatic yellow too - debatable, no?
