    Tottenham v Man City

    Watched this several times and can only see a foul by Solanke on Guehi prior to first Spurs goal. Solanke clearly kicks the back of Guehi's leg, which is pushed forward by the impact and force. Should have been a dfk to Man City in my opinion. Surely a player kicking through the back of an...

    Newcastle v Man City

    Pope was moving to his right and would never have made a save. Thiaw has his arm round Haalands neck, so Haaland will inevitably be in contact with him. Who is pinning who ? In this age of technology, one in a million situations like this will always cause discussion like this. Interesting...

    It's just a game of football

    Any Police action will depend on your perception of the words used, that is your belief or otherwise that the threat would be carried out. Without going into great detail, the offence is now covered by three statutes and is defined as follows. Threats to kill. "A person who without lawful...

    FA Vase

    Something for all to consider in circumstances such those mentioned in the OP.. The FA (or CFA at lower levels), may also hand out a suspension to the official(s) concerned as they would be considered to be "wrong in law." Many of us will thankfully go through the whole of our careers without...

    Open Age Referee admin

    Correct Rusty - spent many a full Sunday (in the 80's) writing Saturday's reports. From memory I think I think my busiest Sunday was 7 or 8 YC and 2 RC. There were so many duplicate sheets, I think I had to use parcel post when sending them in. 😂

    Back to suits?!

    Should be down to the individual in my opinion. Unfortunately however, there are those amongst us (thankfully a great minority), who do not seem to have the necessary pride in their appearance. Last season, I observed a game (on an artificial pitch), where the referee turned up with mud all...

    Chelsea -v- Tunis (CWC) 24062025

    RUSTY. You make great points as always. When any referee decides to stop the game, play is ongoing. Whistle clearly sounds in this incident when ball is 'out of play'. No play possible, so is the game not stopped by that fact. I've also watched several angles of the incident and I cannot...

    Chelsea -v- Tunis (CWC) 24062025

    Shot at goal by Chelsea hits the arm of a Tunis player and deflects for what seems to be a corner kick. The ball was clearly out of play and beyond the goal line when the whistle is blown, therefore game not stopped by referee whilst ball in penalty area.. The PK decision was subsequently and...

    Spurs v Manchester City

    One of those really horrible incidents, made even worse by the referee apparently using x-ray vision. Can't see any angle where the R could have seen handball by Haaland, from his position looking through three or four players. Also, R seems to slip during the incident, which must have further...

    Junior/Youth unfit pitch / lack of players

    Looks like they've lost their private referee secretary. There are plenty of other teams / leagues who will be grateful of your services. Stand by your decision.

    suspension due to low club marks?

    Exactly as ChasObserver says - speak to your RDO.

    Dropped or Thrown?

    Regardless of where the ball was dropped from - looks like a correct restart. Distance of opponents etc looks ok.. No real guidance in law as to the height the ball must dropped from. I don't of any ruling stating that the player to whom the ball is dropped has to be the first to play it. The...

    suspension due to low club marks?

    Assuming the accuracy of your time scale, I don't know of ant MDC who would write and submit a report based on such a short time span. The report should reflect the observations made during the entire game. As DavidObs states, the report should provide remedies and advice, as well as usually...
