But Mewcenary for credibility would it not be better to go with your Assistant? It would also enhance match control. I know in law the Assistant Referee was incorrect, but given the consequence of disallowing an equalising goal in a cup final, would it not be justified. They came to the wrong...

One point I didn't make was the referee said play on when the assistant raised his flag, then only consulted after the goal was scored. To me it should have been allowed and there were two errors. 1. The assistant should not have raised his flag, but once he did the ref should have blown. 2...

I was Assistant Referee on a Cup Final recently. The play has developed down the other end of the pitch. Green were one down and pushing forward. They played the ball through to the striker who was in an offside position. He made no attempt to go for it but the Assistant raised his flag...

Yes in theory that would be the case but it does mention that part of the reason for introducing it is to prevent any dissent towards the assistant and for the referee to be seen to make the decision. However the referee will have to verify with the AR to identify the player, so really it...

How about this incident which does happen. Say a corner is taken and defenders are on the Line. A header comes in from a striker and a defender handles it on the line. The AR is still on the goal line so what direction does the AR move then after he flags?

Totally agree with a quick free kick. However if you told him it was on the whistle and he took it before that would you caution. Also would you allow him also to take a penalty without a whistle. Which is what happened originally.

Yes I would definitely caution a player if he didn't wait for the whistle, irrespective of where it was on the pitch. As for the encroaching point it would be interesting to hear other views. I have seen numerous occasions where this has happened including the Premiership as you mentioned.

I cautioned the penalty taker for unsporting behaviour. I asked him to wait for the whistle and he ignored and tried to catch the keeper out really. As for encroaching? If both teams do it I let it go.

A game yesterday with first playing second and a cracking 0-0. Fifteen minutes left and a penalty to the away team. No queries and definitely penalty. The player places the ball, I tell him wait for the whistle and as I walk away to get in position he runs up and the keeper saves it. I had...

Hi, I was looking for clarification on an incident on a game today. The red defender passed the ball back to the keeper. As he passes it the ball slightly deflects off an opponent but still goes through to the keeper, who picks it up. Is this still a 'deliberate' back pass?

At a game today a challenge goes in from Blue defender on yellow attacker. Referee says he got the ball. However the Assistant Referee (all three a team), flags for a penalty. He had a much better position and said the blue defender caught the attacker prior to getting the ball. Correct decision...
