LAW 6 - THE ASSISTANT REFEREES |

 |
|
 |
When a team wants a substitute | |
| When an attacker is offside |
 |
|
 |
When a foul or misconduct has happened but the referee couldn't see it | |
|
Signals by an assistant referee are for the information of the referee.
The referee decides how to use this information The referee can ask the assistant referee to "help with other things"... for example, checking that an illegal equipment problem has been corrected |

Club linesmen are volunteers from the sideline who help the referee when
there are no assistant referees. Club linesmen help by flagging when the ball leaves the field. |
