    West Ham v Olympiacos

    I disagree with this. If you choose to waste your advantage by playing the ball offside, or to a defender, or out of play, that’s on you. An advantage is not a free go - it’s ‘carry on as you were’ - unless the foul caused the ball to go there it’s a play on for me. That’s not to comment on the...

    Advantage...when can you pull it back

    You get this a lot, everyone wants as many chances as possible. Realistically was the advantage worse than the free kick? ‘I’m not going to hold my arms up until you’ve put it in the back of the net,’ can work.

    Open Age Caution procedure and write on cards

    Thanks all. So are write on cards still okay provided I follow the above? I don’t need to keep the card secret until the end?

    Open Age Caution procedure and write on cards

    I’ve moved recently from Wales (essentially a free-for-all when it comes to caution procedures) to England. Previously, I whipped a quick card out and showed it. I then either called the player over and asked the details or I scribbled down the number on the card if I was at a level to be sure...

    RMA vs LIV

    It wouldn’t, at all.

    Penalty?

    That's an awful example as PGMOL/Michael Oliver both agreed he should've gone anyway.

    Foul Throws

    Interesting - maybe a coincidence or maybe not..... In the first game of the PL weekend (WHU vs NEW) the referee penalised a foul throw. In the most high profile of the weekend (MCI vs TH) the referee penalised a foul throw. If this is a new directive and a new trend I'm onboard with it!

    Man Utd v Southampton

    Are we genuinely prepared to go down the route of 'that's a yellow because the opponent may have been cross about the foul?' I had a retaliation at the weekend from a clean tackle - I didn't book the man who made it, so that's a fatuous argument.

    Weymouth v Chesterfield

    Referees are damned if they do and damned if they don't. You'd either have 'he's won the ball, it's a great challenge. Modern football is too soft!' or 'no! He's hurt him!' And your mention of his statistics is frankly odd. Are you saying you believe its a red but you'd give yellow if he'd only...

    Red card

    We all know the law, we're just asking what its application is in this situation.

    Coventry vs Birmingham

    While I agree it looks nothing like a reckless trip, it looks nothing like an aggressive ‘boot’ either.

    Real Betis V Roma

    The idea that the referee was ‘aggressive’ here is such an English mindset. No more or less so than any Spanish/Italian official - Lahoz/Kuipers/Orsato have all gotten to the top of Europe with similar techniques in similar situations.

    Euro 2020 final

    Nope. Learning to deal with people's responses is part of refereeing. Learning to bend the rules to give yourself an easy ride isn't.

    Get the first foul

    As soon as he’s missed the foul, things seem to go downhill. BUT they don’t need to. The use of a yellow and/or a red as soon as players get in the way en route to VAR should calm things.
