What are some examples of soccer misconduct?

Answer 1

There are 7 cautionable offenses and 7 sending-off offenses. If a player or substitute is cautioned, they are shown the yellow card. If a player or substitute is sent-off, they are shown the red card.

The cautionable offense categories are:

1) Unsporting Behavior (UB) - Most common category

a. Commits a direct free kick foul in a reckless manner (pushing, tripping, charging, etc.)

b. Commits a direct free kick foul while tackling the ball from any direction

c. Commits a tactical foul designed to interfere with an opponents attack

d. Handles the ball deliberately to score a goal

e. Commits an act which, in the opinion of the referee, shows a lack of respect for the game

f. Fakes or exaggerates the severity of an injury

g. Fakes or exaggerates the severity of a foul

h. Interferes with the goalkeeper from releasing the ball back into play

i. Verbally distracts an opponent

j. Unfairly distracts or impedes an opponent performing a throw-in

k. Changes jerseys with the goalkeeper during play without the referee's permission

l. Engages in trickery to circumvent the goalkeepers limitation on handling the ball

m. Makes unauthorized marks on the field

n. Removes the jersey after scoring a goal

2) Shows dissent by word or action (DT)

3) Persistently infringes the Laws of the Game (PI)

4) Delays the restart of play (DR)

5) Fails to respect the required distance from a corner kick or free kick (FRD)

6) Enters or re-enters the field of play without the referee's permission (E)

7) Deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee's permission (L)

The seven sending-off offense categories are:

1) Guilty of serious foul play (SFP)

2) Guilty of violent conduct (VC)

3) Spits at an opponent or any other person (S)

4) Denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity by handling the ball (DGH)

5) Denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity by a free kick or penalty kick offense (DGF)

6) Uses foul and/or abusive language and/or gestures (AL)

7) Receives a second caution in the same match (2CT)

Answer 2

Unsporting behavior, formerly known as unsportsmanlike conduct, covers a very broad spectrum of team member activity. Generally, unsporting behavior is any sort of conduct that is counter to the spirit of the game, specifically that which intentionally denies teammates an opportunity to play fairly, or which shows contempt for the match, the sport, or the officials. It is used by referees to caution a player who does something obviously very wrong, but for which exists no specific rule or remedy in the Laws of the Game (example: mooning the opposing coach). Other examples might including using your foot to mark the field, intentionally deflating the ball, committing a foul in a reckless manner (i.e. without regard to the other player's safety), pulling a goal net off of the goalposts or crossbar (or other tampering with the field of play), and so on.
