Yes, that was my mistake in law but those same laws say I should have cautioned for coming off his line meaning it would have been his 2nd anyway. As I said, I realised I'd made a mistake when reflecting on what happened later at home.
It was a good yard with both feet and enough to put the taker off imo, if it had just been a small step forward I doubt I'd have even considered a retake. I don't deny it'd have been easier all round taking that advice and with hindsight would do but it was so soon after the clear warnings.
I reffed an u13 cup game on Sunday, fairly competitive game and I had to issue a few public warnings which probably warranted cautions but I had gone down the public telling off route instead. It went to penalties and before the 1st pen I took both keepers to one side and specifically warned...
Just to be clear, temporary dismissals will only be for dissent.
I ref in the sheffield & district junior sunday league which will be part of the trial and I took part in one of the webinairs last week run by the FA. I've only been refereeing a year and in that league I've only ever issued 1...
Struggling a bit with this one. Even at a tournament the coach would be on one side near half way line and spectators would be spread out on the opposite side. How can they both have a better view of an in/out wherever it was? This is assuming they know the law in the first place
I'd class a punch as a save rather than being in control, so if they punched it straight up in the air they'd be allowed to subsequently catch it on the way down without gaving away a IDFK for touching the ball again after releasing it
As a former keeper I questioned this law in detail with one of the tutors when I did my course and the above is exactly what he said apart from the "finger on the side of the ball" as his definition was that if any part of the finger was in contact with the upper hemisphere of the ball...
Don't disagree with any of that and I wasn't expecting anything to happen. Main reason I notified them was in case someone else reported it directly to the fa and included that I'd been informed about it, just thought it better to get my version in first.
Apology of sorts from SA

It's interesting that they are saying they told Australian officials beforehand that's what they would do.
As we would very very rarely come across a situation where one team says they won't observe a minute's...
I had an allegation of a racist remark in one of my first few games, below is the email I sent to the county fa and their response
Hi ****
I wasn't totally sure who this should be sent to but thought it needed to be sent to someone.
I refereed a U16 game between **** and **** in the **** this...
Great to hear Luke. Doing games with kids is a great way to help build your confidence and to get into a game routine where it's not the end of the world if you get something wrong. All refs do kids games differently but as long as your consistent you'll get on fine. Don't forget it's about...
Is this any different to a goalkeeper holding the crossbar down during the game? Even at professional level it's possible for them to move the crossbar by grabbing hold of it or hanging from it, and I've never seen a red card given for DOGSO or any suggestion that this should be the decision.
Martin, you aren't alone in this, it's been mentioned on a lot of the referee forums I'm on and I myself have struggled occasionally. I've only done 20 games but I am finding it becoming less of a problem with experience. Using verbal signals is the best advice already given, it then gives you a...
