    you contradicted yourself huliano. you replied to my post saying they should get assists, then you replied to dv8r saying they shouldnt. my example of the LB was just that, a short pass, LB takes it all over the park to score

    thats why im confused. in my eyes both should be considered as assist regardless of distance/time it took to score

    i ask because many matches often dont consider them as assists, especially during quick counters where the receiver runs over halfway to score
    there are also times when a keeper blocks the shot, falls to another player and scores, but it wasnt counted as an assist. that counts as a rebound right, or does it have to be off the bar?

    In the Premier League, if Player A shoots and the shot is saved but Player B scores from the follow up then Player A gets the assist.

    In this case we are talking about a player who receives a long ball, indicating that it's somewhere near the middle of the pitch. Because how can a long ball be played to your own penalty area? So this player gets the ball and scores with it, it may be classed as a solo go but he did not create it himself. The player who played the long ball to him should get the assist.

    I did not say they would get assists ... Do you see the capitalized phrase DECISIVE IMPORTANCE? If it's just a normal pass to your LB and he runs by himself to score, then it is not considered a decisively important pass because your LB is the one that actually does all the work of dribbling and scoring.

    In another reply, I said that if it is a long kick from GK and the goal comes to any of our players in dangerous, exploitable, and advantageous position making it easier to create an opportunity to score, then the GK would be likely awarded an assist.

    Anw, it is all up to the judgement of the ref on whether or not that pass is decisively important.

    Referees have no interest at all in assists as they are not an official part of the game.

    The referee doesn't decide who is awarded the assist. That goes down to association rules and most of them follow FIFA standards.
