Soccer Ref Education - Explaining A Fair Tackle

Great job

How would you govern yourself in arena style soccer ?

Hey man, I love your videos. I wish more refs would watch them. I came looking for something that I don’t think you have in your library, so I thought I’d suggest it. I call it the “phantom push off” that happens after two players come together in a shoulder to shoulder tackle and their arm goes up. Many refs think this is an added push at the end, when actually it’s just physics and there’s no force behind it. Best analogy I can think of is to lean your upper body against a wall on your shoulder and then push into the wall with your shoulder to stand up…you’ll see that your arm naturally comes out, but there’s no force, or trifling force. I’ve seen this get so many newer refs. Thought it might be good content for you.
