  2. Trifling Dictionary Definition: Describes things so unimportant or so small as to be scarcely worth notice Of Slight Importance Insignificant

  3. Trifling FIFA Laws of the Game Law V – Former IFAB Decision 8 “It is the duty of referees to penalize only deliberate breaches of the Law. Constant whistling for trifling and doubtfulbeaches produces bad feeling …. “

  4. Trifling FIFA Laws of the Game Law V – Former IFAB Decision 8 This is no longer part of Law 5, but it is still considered an integral element of the “Spirit of the Game”.

  5. Trifling FIFA Laws of the Game Law V – Former IFAB Decision 8 This was removed from the Law only because it was felt to be an unnecessary reminder of the referee's fundamental duty to penalize only those violations that matter.

  6. Trifling FIFA Laws of the Game Law V – Former IFAB Decision 8 It is applicable to all possible violations of any of the Laws of the Game.

  7. Trifling The Application of Common Sense LAW 18

  8. Trifling “RIGHT” vs. “BEST”

  9. Trifling “RIGHT” Implies an absolute standard Only one permissible result

  10. Trifling “BEST” Standard is NOT absolute Standard is variable

  11. Trifling • Two Arguments: • What is “right” is always best • (Letter of the Law) • (Literal Definition)

  12. Trifling Two Arguments: 2) What is “best” is always right (Spirit of the Law) (Common Sense)

  13. Trifling In the beginning referees are trained to focus on being “right”

  14. Trifling Gradually, over time and with experience, referees are encouraged to understand the difference between “right” and “best”, as competitive level increases. The Law also allows and encourages referees to use that difference in officiating in the various levels of competition.

  15. Trifling It is the duty of the referee to penalize only those violations that matter. It is within the referee’s powerto determine which violations matter.

  16. Trifling SAFETY Is Never Ignored

  17. Trifling FAIRNESS Must be a Consideration

  18. Trifling Advice to Referees, Section 5.5 states: “A trifling infraction is one which, though still an offense, has no significant impact upon play.” “A doubtful offense is one which neither the referee nor the other officials can attest to.”

  19. Trifling Advice to Referees, Section 5.5 states: “The referee’s decision as to whether a player’s action is trifling or not is affected considerably by the skill level of the player.” Very similar to what affects making an “advantage” call or not.

  20. Trifling Factors to take into consideration: Reactions of player(s) to a call/no call Are they playing through it Do they necessarily want the call Are they affected by the play Do they really care Is it accepted as part of the game

  21. Trifling Factors to take into consideration: Is a call an unnecessary interruption to the play Does the level of play warrant a call Does a call/no call reflect the ability of player(s) involved

  22. Trifling • The referee’s decision as to whether a player’s action is trifling or not is affected considerably: • by the skill level of the teams • by the skill level of the individual player(s) vs. team skill level of play

  23. Trifling One team may be physical and the other team not … Referee may have to deal with making trifling calls on what may appear to be a one-sided bias.

  24. Trifling Younger players typically want the fouls called. They get upset when fouls are not called. This may be more the case with younger girls. These players do not understand the concept of “trifling” nor what advantage means.

  25. Trifling Lesser skilled players also expect fouls committed against them to be called. This is more of an individual, as opposed to a team thing. What a referee may consider to be trifling with respect to one player may not be trifling to another player.

  26. Trifling • As a referee you must be able to determine the “star” and the “klutz” and distinguish the abilities of everyone in between. • The “klutz” is the player who would trip one a blade of grass. • The “star” is the player whom you could not knock over with a truck. • Oftentimes age is not the determining factor …. higher skill vs lower skill

  27. Trifling Referee must also remember to consider trifling offenses in determining persistent infringement of the Laws.

  28. Trifling Trifling infringements may nonetheless lead to frustration and retaliation if they are allowed to continue.

  29. Remember A trifling infraction is one which, though still an offense, has no significant impact upon play. It is applicable to all possible violations of any of the Laws of the Game. It is the duty of the referee to penalize only those violations that matter.

  30. Remember An “unsafe” act can never be considered as “trifling”. Blow the whistle … Stop the game !!
