[edit] Home nations power on the IFAB

Would it be fair to say that the Home Nations' FA representatives now basically rubber-stamp FIFA proposals? Jooler 21:55, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions and Answers to the Laws of the Game

Dear members, My name is Sérgio, from Brazil, referee. I've a question about a situation in the "Questions and Answers to the Laws of the Game", law 3 - questions 13 first answers, where it's:

A substitute, warming up behind his own goal, enters the field of play and prevents the ball entering the goal with his foot. What action does the referee take? The referee stops play, cautions the substitute for unsporting behaviour and the match is restarted with an indirect free kick to the opposing team where the ball was when play was stopped *.

[edit] =====

I think that the answers correctly is following: The substitute player should be sends-off because prevents the goal and the game is restarted with an indirect free kick to the opposing team where the ball was when play was stopped *.

Because I think that I've sends-off: In the "Laws of the Game 2006" for Step 12 Fouls and Misconduct, Sending-Off Offences say's: A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offences:

5: denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick


am I correctly?

Please, I need your help...

I want to Thank the attention for me.

[edit] First meeting

There have been some edits corrupting the info about the formation of the IFAB. It originally said 1882 Manchester[1], and then someone changed it to 1886 and this was called into question and then a meeting in Holborn for 1886 replaced the Manchester meeting. However from [2] we have In 1882, the Football Association, firm in its resolve there should be uniformity in the laws, invited the associations of Scotland, Wales and Ireland to a meeting to discuss the formation of a board to settle their differences and to organize an international championship. Scotland at first declined the invitation, relenting only after the Football Association threatened to end the yearly international matches. At the meeting, held in Manchester on December 6, 1882, the four associations adopted a uniform code and established the International Football Association Board to approve changes in the laws. Each association was given equal voting rights on the board. Jooler 12:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

However the minutes of the first meeting in 1886 can be found here -http://ssbra.org/html/laws/IFABarc/pdf/1886/18861ST.pdf The fact that a date is given for the 1882 meeting suggest there was was a meeting in Manchester, and perhaps here the IFAB was proposed. Jooler 12:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I think this pins it down a bit more.
1882: A conference was held in Manchester on December 6th, where certain alterations to the existing Laws were agreed by representatives of the four British Associations (England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales). There were no changes made to the off-side Law.
1885: The Manchester Conference of 1882, led to the creation of the "International Football Association Board" who became the single Law authority. To begin with, the International Board consisted of two representatives from each of the four United Kingdom Associations, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Today, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) consists of the four UK associations, and FIFA. Each shall be entitled to be represented by four delegates. Because the first Laws were historically promulgated in England, the authentic text is written in English and then translated into other languages.
