If I have a throw in (in a planned move) if one of my players turns his back on
me and slowly walks off, can I throw the ball at his back and then collect it
again and play on. This is all done deliberately and not just thrown in random
at one of my players

Q

In a penalty shoot out, if the ball touches the goalpost and the goalkeeper
before it goes in the net will this be classed as a goal. It is our belief
that the the rules differ from a penalty taken in the normal course of play
where a player may follow up a penalty to get a goal. Obviously in a shoot
out this is not allowed and therefore if the ball comes of the post and goes in
the goal off the keeper (rather than going in directly off the post) is
the ball already dead and therefore no goal?

Could you please define when a tackle from behind is a foul and what appropriate
action should be taken. In particular is it still possible to tackle from behind
if you make contact with the ball only and not the player.

Q

Some years back, in a game I was playing, one of the opposing forwards punched
the ball into our goal. I was the goalkeeper for our team at the time, and
was extremely annoyed and complained bitterly because the referee awarded the
goal. To add insult to injury, the ref then sent me off. Knowing
that the player had cheated and got away with it, I refused to accept the
suspension and just stopped playing on principle.
Well, last weekend I was asked to play in a trial match, and I
couldn't believe my eyes, as it was the same ref who sent me off all those years
ago. We got to chatting, and he asked me if I ever served my suspension.
When I said no, he sent me off before the kick off! He can't do that can
he?

An attacker and defender left the field because of the momentum of the game,
and the ball remained in play. As the attacker tries to re-enter the field of
play, the defender holds him back. As this incident is off the pitch, and the
ball is 'in play', what decision should a referee make regarding this incident.

Q

What would be the proper procedure a referee should follow for the following
situation?
A foul was called resulting in a penalty kick, much to the dismay of the coach
of the penalised team. As the teams prepared for the penalty kick, the coach in
question, in protest to the call, instructed his goalkeeper to stand away from
the goal area. Since the rules state that before the penalty kick is to be
taken, the goalkeeper must be on the goal line, several scenarios could develop
from this situation (with the goalkeeper refusing to stand on the goal line).
