Is there a website or page where ref appointments are published? Trying to find out who the refs are for tonight's AFC internationals and coming up with blanks. Thanks.

Apologies for dragging this out. So ball about to cross the line for a goal from a backpass. GK stops the ball with his hand. IDFK and a red for DOGSO?

I'm probably overthinking it. From the looks of it it was a backpass. In that case he can't pick it up in anyway. I'm assuming it's a backpass because the ref(?) is telling him not to pick it up. I guess the question is was it a deliberate backpass given how far he had to go to get it? I'm...

I guess the question is was it a deliberate backpass given how far he had to go to get it? So I'm OK with that except the ball isn't between the hand and the ground so that bits redundant. The next bit is 'with any part of the "hands"'. Is that 'hands' plural? If it's 'hands' singular...

Thoughts please. Thanks.

Not a pen for me. And who kicked who by the way? Why is bloody VAR getting involved anyway? Love to hear someone give that penalty at grassroots and then try explain why. 'Well his foot was up trying to block the shot.' 'But he kicked him on the follow through.' 'Yeah, nah, we're going...

Taylor did not have good game. Not bad, just not great. Besides other things in the match Kroos could've been carded twice before he got one, which he probably wouldn't have gone for if he was anyway sitting on a yellow already. And then the big barge in the Spanish bloke's back when he was...

In my humble opinion the Scot went looking for contact. Freeze frame it and have a look yourself. He pulled the Hungarian over and iniated contact by moving his leg over. And to be fair the refs they have been letting heavy contact all tournament go. (Case in point the German barging over the...

Look, fair enough. I was only commenting on the distance because someone brought up the time. Cheers.

93rd minute. Duka the Albanian kicked the Croatian defender in the head while shooting. (I'd call that a high foot.) Duka given a YC. I'm OK with the YC but I've sat I seminars when they say IDFK for a high foot no contact, contact with the head RC. Opinions? Edit. at grassroots what are we...

And 40m in ground covered so yeah, quite a way.

Pack the game up and go home if that was a handball today in the Belgium Slovakia game. Absolutely ridiculous if this is what football is going to be from now on. Both players pushing and shoving, a slight flick of the fingers, no impact on the trajectory of the ball or play. A disgrace to...

Thanks but I'm wondering what the actual law is. What's IFAB say?

What's 'pound sand' mean?

I may have missed it or misinterpreted in the past but how many people are allowed to stand in the technical area at any given time? I see this extract from Law 1. It says 'only one person at a time is authorised to convey tactical instructions' but does that mean more than one person can be...
