Don't let it bother you, some coaches, players and supporters appear to get off on being dic#s. I had an u17 player threaten me at full time whistle before Xmas and I've found out he's received a 180 day ban. Morale of the story, always put EA reports in.

There's no way that Haaland would have been cautioned has he was already on a yellow for removing his shirt after converting the penalty.

The local FA and RDO are in the same office. The RDO rarely gets involved in anything, he's like an enigma that's impossible to get in touch with. He usually gets an assistant to keep on top of things. They are aware as I complained to one of them when I refereed a local disability tournament on...

I had been feeling similar to the OP up until a couple of weeks ago. Basically I went through a phase of a around a month of every game being hard work and sending off at least 1 player in those games. Most of the sending off were at full time whistle, the final one coming from am U17 player and...

If he's giving the double deflection as handball then what about the handball at the other end of the pitch after a Newcastle long throw to Burn?

Totally agree regarding the MacAllister/Onana incident. After Onana wasn't sent off I thought it was a nailed on penalty.

Cards at the ready and any dissent an early sin bin usually does the trick.

I had a charming individual call me a "c@nt" 3 times in a minute at full time yesterday he also threatened to "do me in" which was laughable but added to the EA report. My son had to tell a parent to pipe down during an u11 match too. Dissent and abuse is definitely getting worse, in the last...

While I agree with above isn't the team taking the freekick supposed to have a slight advantage when infact its the defending team (Liverpool) who are able to get men behind the ball.

Technically yes lol. He was more annoyed at the CAR who kept shouting "well done ref". Attacking team were 6-1 down at the time

I had this very same scenario on Sunday. I was in the middle striker went through, CAR flag up me in agreement and whistle. Attacking team coach going mental and then gets his phone out to check LOTG then starts shouting it was 2nd faze. I had to go over to the bench to calm him down and explain.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I actually counted out loud while I was watching the match lat night.

Not sure which toon fans you're referring to but myself (a toon fan) and all my mates agree it was a red card.

I wish we the audience could hear the comms because I don't trust the commentators to decipher and accurately tell us what's actually going on. Efan Eloku and Danny Murphy are especially terrible at it.

My RDO said to write it verbatim in all reports
