DOGSO REVIEW

• Number of Defenders• Distance to Goal• Distance to Ball• Direction of Play

In order for a player to be disqualified for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by an offense punishable by a free kick or penalty kick, foul elements must be present.

If any of these “4 D’s” are missing,

there cannot be a disqualification for DOGSO.

The “4 D’s”

DOGSO: 4 D Definitions

1) Number of Defenders -- not more than one other defender (usually the GK) between the foul and the goal, not counting the defender committing the foul

2) Distance to goal -- the closer the foul is to the goal, the more likely it is an “obvious” goal scoring opportunity

3) Distance to ball -- the attacker must have been close enough to the ball at the time of the foul to have continued playing the ball

4) Direction of play -- the attacker must have been moving toward the goal (not the goal line) at the time the foul was committed.

DOGSOIn other words, the referee must answer YES to the following

4D questions…

1. Defenders? Did the area between the attacker and the goal have fewer than two nearby defenders who were able to become involved?

2. Distance to Goal? Was the foul committed near the goal? The farther from goal, the less likely it is that an “obvious” goal scoring opportunity existed?

3. Distance to Ball? Was the ball within a reasonable distance to the attacker playing the ball?

4. Direction of attack? Was the attacker running directly towards the goal? (and not away from the goal at an angle – e.g. towards the corner flag).

DOGSO

Misconduct – Disqualification Red Card

disproportionate or unnecessary force was used when playing for the ball against an opponent.

– Taunting– Spitting at another person.– Using insulting, offensive or abusive language or gestures.– Leaving team area to enter field to participate in a fight or

altercation

Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct

Misconduct – Disqualification Red

TauntingUse of word or act to incite or degrade an opposing player,coach, referee or other individual

When a coach makes a negative comment toward/at the referee when is it dissent? When is the coach inciting or degrading the referee?

What might be an example of dissent vs taunting?

Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct

Misconduct – Disqualification Red

Difference between Serious Foul Play versus Violent Conduct:– Serious Foul Play must meet the requirements for a

FOUL and must be committed during a challenge for the ball. That is:

On the field; ball in play; between opponents (players) playing for the ball.

– Violent Conduct can be committed by

anyone at anytime, anywhere and against anyone.

Rule 12 – Fouls and Misconduct

Misconduct – Disqualification Red

Penalty for Red card disqualification:– Player MUST leave the field (and may not return for

that game) and MAY NOT be replaced. (Team plays short).

If non-player committed misconduct, team does not play short. Examples; before or after the game or between halves; bench personnel.
