In 2020, the worst Covid year, I ended up working largely as an AR in the Danish Leagues (my girlfriend is Danish). The authorities in that country were delighted to have a native English speaker who could give them input regarding which of their up and coming referee talents were already appropriately fluent in English (in their pre match and on comms) and which needed a bit more support going forwards.Referees can be denied from entering the FIFA list due to not speaking English?
Really? Take it a couple of frames earlier and the ball would be on his chest.
Come on mate we know we have to look at this when contact was made. This is from synched frames from VAR. Part of the ball is on his elbow or at least very very close to it..

I know it's a bit of a fan response, but I can't help feeling a big shrug towards that thought. Get an easy decision right and there would be nothing to stab you in the back about.An apology has come from PGMOL: Can’t imagine that Chris Kavanagh feels too pleased about, must feel like a stab in the back.
I'm worried that a currently registered referee doesn't know this.who came up with this line on the arm, anyway ? is it in the Laws of the Game, now ?

You're clutching at straws now - that's a still from before the ball hits his arm. It's also a bad angle as any image taken from that angle is going to make the ball look as if it's further up the arm than it is.I'll raise you a
