Counting back over thread more people thought red than yellow/foul so interested to know where you get ‘most were saying’ from?

Well red card has been overturned, I genuinely have no idea what we are supposed to do now when a player has been endangered! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67922687

LOTG quite clear on this, surprised to see people arguing that contact was slight, that doesn’t lower the danger of the action Calvert-Lewin made. “Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with...

So Koca with a lifetime ban (and ongoing criminal charges) but all the club received was a £54,000 fine and 5 home games without fans. Pathetic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67723180

Wow, no words.

Lifelong arsenal fan and avoid posting on my teams games, but on this occasion for the goal: - It was not a legitimate goal. - There was not a *clear and obvious* error that VAR was able to correct. Both can be true.

After latest hole in my adidas, just went for some plain black mitres from amazon at £6 (no branding/logo so don’t look at odds with nike/adidas/macron tops). Decent quality and ‘senior’ sizing good for me (10.5 uk)

I use the free version, worth every penny! Really like using refsix for the cards, have input custom offence codes for the 17 yellow and 6 red codes we have to use for our leagues, makes match reports so much easier. Also alerts you if you have given a second yellow to same player which is a...

With greater direction to clamp down on technical area infringements, what do you do if there is not technical area marked (95% of my games)? Not possible to sanction or we imagine a standard box?

A close up video here. Shocking and really sorry for his family as well.

Those that play golf will be familiar with this approach, R&A have the traditional “Official Rules of Golf” which lists them numerically but now a “Players Rule Finder” which puts the rules in a more user friendly format based around scenarios. They are cross referenced between each other and...

Interestingly asked a push in the back question just this week and a lot of the answers to that post relevant here. First thing that jumps out is referee position, impossible for him to call it. Secondly then and over to VAR, and I can see why not enough to overturn, more on the contact rather...

Who is up for bringing back these Adidas bad boys?

As an aside really not a fan of the Adidas kit, Top - neck is too low cut especially around the back of the neck. Socks - tight and long (and that is me with a 33” instep and skinny ish legs) Shorts - too much material for the size of waist I needed, feels like I am running around in a marquee

thank you! All else being equal, and replaying in my mind, externally to all parties I stuck by what I saw and heard and in the end the head coach of the losing team and I shook hands, he understood why I made the call even if he remained in disagreement over the outcome. However, with greater...

Think that explains why I feel a bit sick!

Time plays tricks on mind so difficult to say exactly, it was all so quick, essentially (1) clip heel (2) shot (3) hits bar (4) goes out of play (5) I then blow whistle and bring it back for the initial clip of heel. I had started to draw whistle to mouth after (1) so by time got to (5) ready...

Bit of a bizarre one in my match tonight. Attacker is just about to shoot in the box, as he draws his foot back defender clips the back of his heel, but attacker manages to get the shot away anyway, hits the bar and ball goes out. I award a penalty as in my view the clip on heel was careless...

Slightly misleading camera angle as well, to truly gauge if in or out the line should be straight up from viewpoint?

Some rather amusing discussions on social media around this, including VAR should have looked at it (yes, let’s ignore the fact we don’t have sideline cameras or technology), and even one TV company inventing their own hawkeye graphic
