Answers to the Quiz
  1. You award a direct free kick to the attacking side.  You may also show the red card and send the goalkeeper off if he denied an obvious goal- scoring opportunity.

  2. An indirect free kick to the defence from where the corner taker centred the ball.  He had played the ball twice

  3. You give a penalty kick to their opponents.  The change has effectively taken place and the ex-goalkeeper is no longer entitled to handle the ball.  For changing places without your permission, both players must also be cautioned for unsporting behaviour and shown the yellow card.

  4. You wait for the ball to go out of play, then examine the boots complained about.  If they are dangerous in your opinion, you send the player off to rectify the problem.  He may only return during a stoppage so that you can check that the problem has been properly dealt with..

  5. Yes, so long as the scorer was behind the ball and did not encroach into the penalty area before it was played.
