    Your moment of the season

    Had a few good moments this season. Had my first match with AR's rather than CAR's. Was a great game and some good football played. Also was observed on that game. Ended 5-5 with a penalty in the last minute. Included my first use of the sin bin this season too. Gained some great advise from the...

    Villa vs Utd

    How has VAR looked and seen that as a penalty? Fernandes backed into Konsa and stepped on him. Madness!

    Arsenal v Leicester

    That was the best use of VAR I have seen this season... and the screen was used! Think it was a red but see why yellow was given originally. Finally a good use of VAR!

    Villa v Blades

    I would understand it not being overruled by Oliver and co. But VAR have pretty damning evidence. Now to put my claret and blue glasses back on...

    Player-managers

    I asked this question at the start of the season. Our county stated: If the player/manager is off the pitch, you caution or send off as team official. If he is on the pitch as a player, you caution or send off as a player. If he is cautioned on the pitch then goes off as a team official, the...

    Friendly Grealishimulation

    He didnt have any other angles to look at because he blew his whistle too soon! He made a rod for his own back. He made a bad decision worse by not using VAR instruction correctly. A bad decision is one thing but to remove any chance of correcting is inexcusable. But its ok... his on TV again...

    Friendly Grealishimulation

    He was the most fouled player in the Championship by a country mile. He also was not cautiones for simulation once. Its very short sighted to say his reputation supersedes him. Even in this case people are looking to say he brought it on himself whilst at the same time everyone agrees it was an...

    Friendly Grealishimulation

    But other than saving face and their egos, what are premier league referees and the PGMOL achieving by not using what could be a very powerful tool? On your own as a referee it is hard. When you have 6 officials appointed to a match they emphasise you are a team. Why not use the full...

    Friendly Grealishimulation

    Spot on. His biggest mistake was how soon he blew the whistle, not the awful call for "simulation". Not even VAR could save him after that. It wasnt a penalty, it certainly wasnt a dive. Would of been a goal had Friend followed VAR protocol and delayed the whistle.

    Friendly Grealishimulation

    Worst refereeing performance I have seen by far. And we spent 3 years in the Championship! He was inconsistant throughout, poor decision making, card friendly (although the 2 he did get right were both for Trezeguet, no complaints about the red) and made a rod for his own back. No doubt if he...

    Open Age First match with appointed assistants

    I have my first match coming up with appointed assistants. Excited with the step up but unsure of how to approach the differences with me being used to CARs. Any advice on prematch talk, warm up, in game such as positioning and alike all appreciated. Been AR to many refs, some better than others...

    The Cup Final

    You are correct. At least it was something to have a laugh about with the captains 😁
