Is it a foul to trip ur friend in Football?

Question

I mean not with the intention of doin it but when ur attacking the opponent.... is it really counted foul n can anyone get a yellow card for that?

Answer 1

Both the attacker and defender have the right to play the ball, so if you are the defender and going for the ball, rather than the attacker's legs, you should not be called for tripping. If it appears to the ref that you were going for the legs (basically that you didn't get your foot on the ball), you would be penalized. I doubt an unintentional trip would be worthy of a yellow card.

The ref wouldn't care if it was your friend or not.  

Answer 2

No, I've seen teammates accidentally run into each other, or even accidentally tackle each other.  Its not an offense.  

Answer 3

not if it's your friend.

you may also kick and pull hair, as long as this is your friend everything goes.

Answer 4

nope u can't do that

best way to defend is to block ur opponents' options and then go for the ball

but stay around a meter away from ur opponenet that way even if they pull tricks on u u still can see where the ball is going  and stop the opponent from passing it

Answer 5

I dont think so

If it was intentional might be a foul and even a warning or dismissal

Answer 6

your best tactic is weak and will get you in trouble when you come up against someone bigger trying the same 'tactic'. If you've seen a leg brake in soccer, you'd be practising some better tackling.

You mention hitting ppl's legs hard, no mention of the ball? Sounds like a foul and you sound like the sort of player we would keep a look out for next game.

Answer 7

why the h**l would you do that anyway

and no it wont b a foul

wats rong wiv u?

Answer 8

Yes it is, you can only attack the ball. The referee will be looking to see if you're going for the ball. If it looks like your going for their legs and not the ball, you will be fouled.

Answer 9

i dont think its a foul

well its your friend of course..

not too sure about that

but GOOD QUEStion!

Answer 10

ummm well if your on the same team i guess not =/ but if your mates on the oppisite team then yer i suppose lol

Answer 11

a foul is a foul no matter what

if the ref. thinks it is intentional then you may get a yellow card or if it is your second or third offense.

doesn't matter if its your friend either, the ref. doesn't know its your friend (unless for some reason) and if go for the ball but you get the legs well that is a trip.

You are talking about different teams right?

if your talking same team then NO foul given or yellow card
