No appeal from Brentford players which probably sowed doubt it was a kick to the GK It was stated that consultations with football stakeholders suggested that football would expect that only the phase of play leading up to a goal/penalty incident/DOGSO should be reviewed i.e. from the point at...

My solution to this is Roll on Roll off sub for goalkeeper injuries at the highest level. If the GK can walk out to the edge of the penalty area he can walk off behind the goal and get replaced immediately. Genuine contact injuries can be treated as normal. Also a lot of injuries could be...

In one incident in the game Rice is not even looking at the ball yet arms around his opponent with his back to the ball. The one where he elbows the ball was an easy penalty. Arm above his head around the opponent’s neck. Howard Webb said at the start of the season that Premier League referees...

Also he is not the captain. After the penalty award he should not be in the referee’s face looking for sanction. Players need to respect Only the Captain.

I believe a red card was the only option. The player’s safety was endangered and he got three to four bad cuts on his forehead from studs. He could have lost an eye from that raised boot.

Three things for me. If it’s very obvious then call it Be consistent throughout Don’t sweat the small stuff. The video shown is very obvious a foul throw with a clearly raised leg right in front of the TA. I would call that. . Too obvious to ignore.

When is a push not a push. On the Kolo Muani's goal that was disallowed for a push on Gabriel by comparison and using that bar this was without doubt a push. The game has now got itself into a right mess with determining legality. The amount of serious pushing, holding grappling now at set...

Law 11 is clear on this “a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence”...

Only possible decision is to disallow the goal. Dias could be cautioned for USB yet that happened before the ball was put into play. No possible retake unless the referee tried to stop the free kick from being taken which did not happen. I even think Burns was in an offside position before the...

Time wasting is the bane of the modern game at all levels. Teams know that most referees are not going to caution / dismiss players easily for it hence it continues. The simple solution in my opinion is to turn the restart over in tardy situations. If a team is tardy say taking a throw in it...

Not offside in my opinion. Meets none of the 4 interfering with an opponent conditions By: • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or • challenging an opponent for the ball or By clearly attempting to play a ball...

The only way an IDFK can be awarded here is with a caution. The *may be cautioned* is in respect of no kick yet thats a retake* situation. Simple solution. Caution for kicker and tell the defending team the ball was never in play hence it’s a *retake* If the referee said I cautioned for...

The Law always stated ** If the throw-in is not taken in line with the correct procedure, it shall be retaken by the opposing team.** The old Q&As stated ** After an incorrectly taken throw-in, the ball goes directly to an opponent. Is play allowed to continue by applying the advantage clause...

hi Two considerations here 1. Description say “wipes her out” which suggests a reckless challenge which is a caution even if advantage is played 2. As it was a potential DOGSO you are correct that it would have been a penalty kick and a caution had play been stopped. It makes little equity that...

Found this video which shows more of the incident Caution was for dissent by #22
