Keith Hackett's verdict
1) You can only base a decision on what you or your assistants heard – so however much their complaint makes sense, if you did not hear the shout, you cannot take action. But if you did hear it, disallow the goal, book the striker for unsporting behaviour and restart with an indirect free-kick to the defending team. Thanks to Gareth Pritchard.
2) He has taken a real risk here, but you should still punish the first offence. However, before you restart with a free-kick to the player who was tripped, remind him to play to the whistle. Thanks to David Millward.
3) There are three offences here, and you need to deal with all of them. Stop play and show the two defenders a yellow card each for holding. Then show the attacker who shoved his marker in the face a red card for violent conduct. Next comes the tough part. You have the option of restarting with a dropped ball from where it was when you blew the whistle - but I would advise that, rather than try and find a way of not making a decision, it is better to punish one of the offences. So, if you decide the defenders' actions were the most serious, award a penalty. If, more likely, you think the shove in the face was the worst offence, it's a direct free-kick to the defending team. Steve Longworth wins the shirt.
