There are some common mistakes made by football fans, as well as specialists from coaches and commentators as well, "Al Jazeera Net" monitors the seven most prominent errors for fans of the most popular game in the world.

One of the most common mistakes among fans of the witch round confusion between penalties and penalties, where most of the so-called penalties carried out to resolve the result after the games "Penalties", although it is for penalties and not a penalty for error such as kicks calculated by the referees during the course of the games, and some so-called misrepresented to say Penalty penalties This is also a mistake, as the name stipulated in the football law is "penalty shootout".

Hand touches
Because hand touches are one of the most controversial cases in football, the ado about them is also growing. Fans and some coaches believe that the use of one of the conditions for the calculation of a violation in the touch of the hand, and this is wrong because Article 12 (errors and misconduct) stipulated deliberately only to account for irregularities Hand touch according to specific controls did not benefit until the current year, which was introduced in one case for the attacker within 11 amendments to the law of the game.

The amendment caused the spread of a false rumor of deliberate cancellation at the touch of the hand, as the law stated that the condition of intentionally existed only in one case, namely the attacking team to score a goal or create the opportunity to score after the ball has touched the hand or arm of one of his players.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester City was a case in point, when Raheem Stirling passed the ball deliberately into the hands of the Liverpool defender (who was not intentionally touching it) while in his penalty area, and the referee pointed to the continuation of play, amid public rejection on social media, City coach Pep Guardiola also objected to a penalty, and the referee's decision was correct, which was supported by the assistant referee.

A violent and reckless play
It is often interpreted by the referee to give a yellow card to a player as a result of violent play, and the fact that this is a big verbal error, because violent play in football law requires direct expulsion, but what deserves warning is recklessness, and the law differentiates between the two descriptions with a text that says: Intervention that threatens the safety of the competitor or the use of excessive or brutal force.

There is a misconception that has been handed down by generations: "The referee is a player", and the fact is that he is not a player.In law, he considered the referee until the current year as air, meaning that the collision of the ball is not significant even if it changed direction and created a chance or scored a goal, such as the air that changes the course of the ball.

Lawmakers this year introduced a new amendment that would force the referee to drop if a player passed the ball to his teammate and hit the referee and went to the opponent.

Some also believe that the captain has the right to speak or object to the decisions of the referees, although the football law did not provide any advantage to the captain except that he participates in the draw and communicates the referee's instructions to the rest of the team only.

the mouse
After the introduction of the video assistant rule (FAR), a large percentage of the public believes that it should intervene in all arbitral cases, although the law specified for the FAR only four cases to intervene, namely: "errors related to a goal or not a goal, the validity of penalties, direct expulsion, and this Does not include the dismissal of the second warning, and finally the wrong identity ie when the referee is dismissed or warns the wrong player from the opposing team.

Finally, many - including some commentators - mistake the designation of assistant referees, where they call the flag bearer (Linzman) any line man, or even the assistant referee, and all the wrong designations, where he was at the beginning of football called the line man because he was charged with referring to At the 1994 World Cup in America, FIFA made the assistant referees specialize (where previously there was no specialization) and called them "assistant referees" after adding new competencies to them. In cooperation with the rulers.

With FIFA's growing interest in arbitration, the past decade has seen their jurisdictions expand, and they have been referred to in the football law as "assistant referees".
