  2. Gamesmanship

  3. The EODSA Referee Education Program Identifying and Dealing with GAMESMANSHIP Hassan Dayfallah

  4. What is Gamesmanship? The art of winning games by distracting one’s opponent

  5. What is Gamesmanship? It is an all out effort (by a player) tomake certain result go (his) way without appearing to break the laws

  6. What is Gamesmanship? • Gamesmanship is a form of indiscipline which is an offence against the spirit of the game • Is an act to challenge the referee’s authority • Gamesmanship is cheating

  7. When Is Gamesmanship Employed? At anytime. It is the game that is playedbefore,duringand afterthe match, with or without the ball and most certainly withoutthe law

  8. Examples Of Gamesmanship • Pre-game:Gee, you handled that match beautifully last week • You did not miss a thing • We lost our last game because of that joker . He couldn’t tell what a tackle is. • Players promise to “break” the legs of any opponent who ventures near them.

  9. Examples of Gamesmanship • During game: taking a spectacular dives, landing in opponent’s penalty area • At dead ball situation: • Faulty ball placement • Failing to give the required distance at FK’s • Time wasting tactics

  10. Gamesmanship: Post Game • Players (and sometimes Team Officials) approach the Referee after the match, requesting that any cautions or sending-offs issued are not reported. Players usually adopt an 'over-friendly' attitude that goes something like this: “You're not going to send those reports in are you Ref.?”

  11. Laws Governing Gamesmanship Law V – The Referee: Gamesmanship only punishable by the Referee - and nobody else. • Constant distraction • Delaying kicks • Tying up laces • Ungentlemanly acts

  12. Laws Governing Gamesmanship Law XII- Fouls & Misconduct: • Pulling Shirts • Simulating fouls commonly known as diving • Feigning injuries to waste time • Substitution in the last seconds of the game

  13. Laws Governing Gamesmanship Law XIII – Free Kicks: • Delaying the taking of a free kick by many methods • Questioning the Referee thus delaying restarts even further • Moving the ball to a more advantageous position

  14. Laws Governing Gamesmanship Law XIV – Penalty Kick: • Goalkeeper distracts the penalty taker by walking out of his goal to query the exact positioning of the ball on the penalty spot • Penalty takers resort to distracting the goalkeeper by throwing a few words

  15. Why Is Gamesmanship Employed? • To gain time (team nursing a narrow lead) • To gain ground • To intimidate opponents and game officials • To gain unfair advantage

  16. Effects of Gamesmanship • Restrict what the opponent can do • Frustrates opponents – intimidates opposing players • Provokes retaliatory acts by opposing players • Results, in the extreme, in referee losing control.

  17. Dealing With Gamesmanship • Referees should consider factors: • Match control , Match flow. • It is a form of indiscipline, so treated as a misconduct • Punish if illegal act is a blatant offence against the spiritof the game

  18. Preventing Gamesmanship • Cannot be prevented because it cannot be dealt with until the offence is committed • Can be discouraged by satisfactory knowledge of the laws • Can be discouraged by making greater use of assistants bringing to the attention of the referee off-ball incidents

  19. You Are The Ref

  20. You Are The Ref

  21. You Are The Ref • Answer to Q1 • This is one incident, not two, so you would not show two yellow cards followed by a red. Show him one yellow for unsporting behaviour – in this case simulation, attempting to deceive. Restart play with an indirect free-kick to the defence. • Answer to Q2 • Think it through in stages. The striker's half-hearted dive did not deceive you, so you played on. With play then live, the striker intended to foul the keeper, but didn't go through with it. But the keeper has deliberately attempted to deceive you and get his opponent sent off by ostentatiously diving. So caution (yellow card) the keeper for unsporting behaviour, and restart with an indirect free-kick to the attacking team.

  22. Recap • Gamesmanship is a misconduct against the spirit of the game. • Threat to match control. • Occurs before, during, and after the match. • Occurs with/out ball & without the laws. • Employed to gain grounds – intimidate opponents and gain advantage.

  23. Recap (cont’d..) Gamesmanship is discouraged: • By satisfactory knowledge of the laws. • By learning from other senior referees. • By proper use of assistant referees through solid on field communications.

  24. Thank You.
