We all know a lot of reffing is subjective but there needs to be something done or don’t have VAR at all and when you apologize for mistakes that can’t be rectified, it makes it worse. If MU win the league by a point, this will come up again.

Unbelievable, well, not really anymore. Absolutely no consistency week in week out

Thanks for the replies. I don’t think I’ll be sanctioned. No one has reached out to me. I know what I did was wrong and I do love doing it but it’s tough when you feel there’s no end to it. US Soccer won’t do anything and it’s become a huge money maker for everyone involved. It sometimes feels...

U19 match today, my bad taking it without looking. Visiting team has come from 5 hrs away and only has 10 players. Game starts off as expected with the home team scoring early. Visitors rebound and score a couple of goals to lead. Both teams constantly on me about fouls etc. second half I lost...

I just watched it again. It sure looks to me as if it touches his left arm when its on the ground but regardless, it’s a dive for me

The ref gives a thumbs up, presumably to the AR and points for a corner. Where was the clear and obvious error?

Surprised no one is discussing the Kane penalty. Did I miss something? It looked like the keeper was there first and Kane dropped his leg down to trip over him. The ref didn’t think it was a penalty but then VAR gets involved and all of a sudden it’s overturned.

Here in the US, everyone takes the concussion protocol info video but I don’t think we have any real authority to force a player to stay off. Parents are responsible for their kids, ultimately

C is only onside because he is now behind the ball and does not satisfy the requirements for offside which are behind second to last defender and ahead of the ball. Correct?

I should clarify my post. I’m not out there raising my flag at every opportunity. Sometimes there’s an obvious fouls near me and I’ll raise my flag and for what ever reason, the CR will wave me off. It’s usually someone who’s less experienced or on rare occasion, that person who is a control...

Another hello from a US ref. I’m shocked you can have a pre game chat. Most ARs show up just before the kickoff And when I AR I have no issues raising my flag for anything I see and also no issues with the CR waving me off. You’re there to assist. No egos needed

I really hope they come back. I got a pair during Covid for cheap, shipping to the US not cheap, but these are the best. Lightweight and very well made.

Watching the game yesterday, I saw the second hand ball as hitting the hip and nowhere near hand. Seems like an easy call with all the camera angles but once again VAR controversy

I will definitely watch this

So I’m center for a U14 game this morning and it’s literally whales v minnow. The minnows are playing up at least 1 age level maybe 2 and in skill level as well. So here in the northeast US indoor games are the norm after November to April. Also the games are not sanctioned by US soccer and...

Sounds like you paid in cash over there. It was like that here before Covid but I heard that parents were keeping the cash if a ref didn’t show so now they use E pay and I get a tax form. Only the higher level leagues still pay cash.

Thanks for posting. We can all relate. I know that feeling of just wanting the match to end. On a positive note, I’ve never heard that sort of language in any match, even the over 30 mens league. Most of the grief we get over here is from the coach or the parents. I can honestly say I wouldn’t...

Hey

At full speed it looks like a penalty but slowed down I don’t think he made any contact. As Gordon Ramsey would say ‘tough decision’

If I read this correctl, I believe they are only allowed to call ball out of play. that’s how it is here in the US.
