    Trouble in Paradise

    Agree to some extent. My point was, that no such code exists in football.

    Trouble in Paradise

    Rugby and football are not comparable. The culture, history, money and global popularity are still worlds apart. Rugby has it's code: Teamwork • Respect • Enjoyment . Discipline • Sportsmanship. Tied in to that are: Play to win - but not at all cost. ●Win with dignity, lose with grace...

    Handball DOGSO and goalkeeper

    I don't know why we as referees have to over complicate stuff at times? If the ball looks like it's heading into the goal and a deliberate handball prevents that from happening then just give the expected decision which is penalty and red card!!

    Fitness test

    The military approach has always worked best for me: Hit the booze the night before, then just go out and smash it! :D No, don't thank me ... 😎

    Substitute enters FOP to interfere

    Another anomaly within the LOTG. The sub commits two (cautionable) offences but only gets 1 yellow ....

    Refs in trainers

    I don't chew gum whilst refereeing most of the time but I have done on occasion when I've wanted to relax more. Horses for courses. I don't think it looks any more "unprofessional" than not tucking your shirt into your shorts - but let's not go there again eh? ;) :p

    I made a mistake by disallowing a penalty and I have reported my error to my County FA today

    And there's the rub mate. ;) This coach, whilst probably angry at the time, is now in the same place as every other player and coach is in the morning after a game ie. it's over and they're now just simply looking ahead to their next one and not dwelling on it. That's exactly what you should...

    Quick freekick

    I know that. But the OP asked what I would do. We've had this discussion on here before and nothing changes the notion (for me) that to pass the ball into an empty net because the other team are expected a wall set-up etc. is "unsporting".

    Quick freekick

    Taking a quick free kick is fine but if its a shot into an empty net because GK and/or defenders aren't ready then I'm always bringing it back. There's already enough gamesmanship, cheating, and unsporting behaviour prevalent in our sport without letting cheap shots (no pun) like that prosper.

    I started my own business last year - recycling chewing gum but must admit I've been having trouble getting it off the ground ....

    Backpasses

    Not going to argue the toss over this any more. I read and interpret the LOTG as they're written. I don't think you're correct. Deliberately kicking the ball to your own GK is simple enough to understand for me without asking IFAB.

    Backpasses

    That issue only really presents itself in a match where you have to explain the law to players appealing when an opponent has say, "kneed" the ball to their GK. The ball has to be kicked (deliberately) to the GK using the foot or ankle, as you correctly state. Controlling the ball with the foot...

    Cup Finals

    Cup Final or not, the match officials should be paid (IMO). We can all talk about prestige or "honour" because it's a Cup Final but meh! .... More or less the same principles surround selection for a Semi Final don't they(?) and the match result is no less important. The final is is no more...

    Backpasses

    Sorry, but that just isn't true. ;) I get all that mate. But the law is quite explicit for me. If the ball has touched another player after release and its not deliberately kicked back to him then it's play on.

    Backpasses

    Not so. The ball has to be deliberately kicked to the GK by a team mate.

    Liv City - Klopp and Pep for maybe the last time

    Absolutely. Some people are just unable to put their "fan" head away and see what's plainly in front of them.

    Should I get experience as an AR?

    It will always make sense to immerse yourself in as much football refereeing experience as you can, particularly if it's at a level which you aspire to be at in the future. Like @JamesL said, put yourself out there and see what the Development setup can offer you. Fact is, anywhere that more...
