Question 1 of 4
Is it an offence if a goalkeeper picks up the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately passed to him by a team-mate using his leg(specifically only using the shin)?
(a) Yes, always.
(b) No
(c) Yes, but only if he picks it up with his hands.
(d) Yes. The offence is committed by the player who deliberately kicked the ball. He is cautioned for unsporting behaviour.
Reference: LOTG Law 12 says ...it has been deliberately kicked to the goalkeeper by a team-mate. Comment: The ball is kicked (played with the foot, not the knee, thigh, or shin) by a teammate of the goalkeeper. See wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-pass_rule
Question 2 of 4
A defender pulls the shirt of the right winger and stops a promising attack 20 metres from the goal. The referee?
(a) Gives a yellow card for unsporting behaviour and restarts with a direct free kick
(b) Gives a yellow card for unsporting behaviour and restarts with an indirect free kick.
(c) Gives the defender a warning and restarts with a direct free kick.
(d) Any number of players.
Reference: IFAB 2016/2017 page 85 - There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour including if a player commits a foul or handles the ball to interfere with or stop a promising attack. So a yellow card is shown. The restart of play after holding an opponent is a direct free kick

(b) No
(c) The referee can decide to allow any late arriving players to complete the side.

Reference: Law 3 - The Players
