Football (soccer) Referee Signals & Body Language Guide - For any situation

[@RefereeChannel]

Thank you for watching. The signals shown are a mix of the ones from the IFAB laws of the game and from real world refereeing. I also wanted to show how a referee can use body language to explain and sell a decision better. I hope some of the signals and body language techniques shown can be of some help.

[@markthompson7503]

Much appreciated. As a newer coach I really do appreciate the simplicity of your video.

Very useful video ❤️👏

[@RefereeChannel]

Thank you.

[@marc-dantas]

Man you're so good at it. One question: Do you practice these signals/whistles alone? My dream is to be a referee. There's no better channel for people like me to learn. Thank you mate! Edit: 1. Can you make a video recommending (and/or testing) linesmen flags?. Think it would be very useful to assistant referees. 2. Could you make a video showing referee positioning and good practices (also described in the actual IFAB Laws of the game)?

[@RefereeChannel]

Thank you. I don’t practice like that. I have seen myself refereeing on videos and learned from that. Problem with making a positioning video is that if I don't have two teams on the field it wouldn't be practical. I would stand there alone without reference points. I will make assistant referee signals videos. I don't know about reviewing flags since they aren't as popular as whistles.

[@marc-dantas]

@@RefereeChannel Hmm, sad about the positioning video, you could film a real match in which you apply these good practices and just make some observations and arrows and stuff digitally. About ARs, please do this video. It would be very useful.

[@JakGfx]

Nice signals, every ref uses his set but sometimes i change them just for fun.

[@nicobenci6968]

Very nice content, could you make a video on your journey as a referee ? ( why you started, the most difficult situations you've ever faced, tips and so on )

[@RefereeChannel]

Thanks. Maybe, my focus now is more on educational videos and whistles.

[@codkasra9116]

An excellent and useful video ❤

[@RefereeChannel]

Thank you very much.

[@hodu8587]

Thank you! Love it. Btw, if the ball slighty out of the line, is it counted as ball-out?

[@RefereeChannel]

Yes

[@hodu8587]

@@RefereeChannel Now that I am thinking, I am quite confused, I learned that if the ball is not fully out, we still play, but in your videos there were a signal about ball being slightly out. Is there any set circumstances for each of them?

[@RefereeChannel]

Slightly out means the whole ball is slightly out.

[@stozickyaviation]

Hello, very good video. Could you do some referee positioning like this video? It would be best! Thanks

[@RefereeChannel]

Thanks. Maybe in the future. First I will do assistant referee videos, indirect free kicks etc.

[@melvin11-w8d]

@@RefereeChannel Hade varit otroligt uppskattat med båda men också postionering :)

[@RefereeChannel]

Positionering utan två lag på plan blir svårt.

[@T_KONBU]

I'm using Google Translate. Thanks for the useful video. What kind of signals are there when a referee changes a decision after discussing with the line referee, fourth official, or other on-field officials?

[@RefereeChannel]

There is no particular signal. You just show the new signal for the new decision.

[@T_KONBU]

thankyou

[@Bopittastic]

Nice video

How to calculate extra time for football

[@RefereeChannel]

It’s in the laws of the game for what situations time is added.

[@Cai-i5o]

Your loving the acme tornado 2000 recently aren't you?

[@RefereeChannel]

I use the Fox 40 Classic mostly. Tornado T2000 is too difficult to use without a lanyard or having to bite on it.

[@juanindojorgijanad782]

This referee signal now includes VAR in Indonesian football.

[@vanessakruger8923]

Whistle signal after a clear goal or not?

[@RefereeChannel]

Not needed, therefore not used in the video.

[@vanessakruger8923]

@@RefereeChannel thanks for helping :)

[@hodu8587]

what does coming from an offside position mean? (1:47)

[@RefereeChannel]

When someone was in an offside position when the pass was made and was then punishable for offside when in an onside position. They usually get surprised when it’s whistled so this is a way of explaining it.

[@veerdotmp3]

[@xeroxtreme]

what happen to your whistle ?

[@RefereeChannel]

Nothing. I didn’t blow into the whistle every time since I’m showing different examples of the same signal. Nobody wants to see a 9 minute video with a full whistle sound every time. It’s a video about signals. The whistle is just to show when it’s needed.
