    Carlos Corberan Sending Off

    Next question: What is the restart? I’m thinking free kick (idfk, not dfk) from where the manager kicked the ball?

    Carlos Corberan Sending Off

    Thank you. Have now found the relevant bit under “Team Officials “ in Law 12 - missed it when I first went to the good book. Thanks again

    Micro shin pads

    True story: a few years ago, one of our students didn’t have/had lost/couldn’t find his shin pads so ended up using two calculators for shin pads in an inter-school game. As both a maths teacher and refereeI was horrified when I heard about this!

    RefChat is now a teenager

    Thank you, @Ross for having the foresight, determination and skills to set it up. i may only be a lowly level six rummaging around amongst the weeds of grassroots football, but I know that I am a better referee because of this forum. All the best for those difficult teenage years!!

    Burnley vs Liverpool

    Salah is pushed in the penalty area, thus making him offside, thus meaning the goal is disallowed. Therefore, if Salah had not been pushed, Liverpool would have had an obvious goal scoring opportunity , therefore the push denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity. The push was not an attempt...

    GK RED CARD...WAS I RIGHT !!!!!

    Q. Why would you have given a red card A. For denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity but a goal was scored, so the opportunity was not denied, so no red card you called it right, well done

    Barnsley vs Wycombe

    Changing the scenario a little …. What would you do if: Striker bumps the keeper (as per video) Keeper falls to ground and drops the ball (as per video) Keeper regathers ball Is this not double handling from the keeper, and therefore warrants an IDFK?

    DBS

    You need a separate DBS for every “entity” you work for. As a teacher, I have a DBS through my school, but I also need (and have) another one through the FA for refereeing. (As a referee, I don’t think you will have to pay for the DBS. My county pays for referee DBS s)

    2 minutes silence

    Only just seen this, so the ship has sailed (for this year at least) but I seem to recall when I did a Sunday league a few years ago, the normal kick off time of 10.30am was put back to 11am on Rembrance Sunday. a sensible solution I thought

    What do I do pre-match?

    Depends how dependent you are on your glasses. I wear glasses when driving (and, for example, when I go to the cinema) but will take them off as I approach the ground (and similarly, not pop them on until I’ve driven out off the car park after the game) - it just helps the optics (pun intended)...

    Goal keeper drop kick

    Which was exactly my suggestion earlier in thread. if attacking players have to be outside the penalty area when the ball is in the keepers hands it completely negates this problem. Even if the attacker tracks the keeper across the front of the penalty area, all the keeper needs to do is take...

    Goal keeper drop kick

    Going off on a bit of a tangent, I’ve often thought the solution to this question is to mandate that when the goalkeeper has the ball in his hands attackers must leave the penalty area, like for a goal kick. Would get rid of all these problems at the stroke of a pen.

    Drop ball

    Lots of great (and correct) replies. Without wishing to throw our colleague under the bus, I think it’s a great clip for us all to remember why “no surprises “ refereeing is so important. We don’t know if he was frustrated with the teams not coming back onto the pitch, but re-starting the game...

    Drop ball

    I think this is a great clip for a learning/training point of view - lots to think about. I suggest you watch the clip first and ponder on it yourself before reading any comments, either in the twitter thread or this thread, and decide what you’d do/would have done before commenting yourself or...
