@lincs22 Get your point ..but players telling you to work on your comms and confidence can be taken with a pinch of salt ? is that positive or negative ? Take advice from fellow referees and Mentors not players ?
On the above point mate ......never ask for or accept feedback from players .....shake the hands .....say well played or unlucky and get out of there .....!
They are a very manipulative bunch ;)
The 2 offsides in the second half ? .....if I had watched that back if I was on the line I would be banging my head off the wall ...and that's for a payment of £17 ......bad day at the office for the lino ....im sure he wont be happy with either of them ......Walker was 3 yards off

That is not our problem , its down to the players
And the other point ....if you don't give the soft ones players start diving to make sure they are given !
Making our job even harder
Its back to the old PA debate ......anywhere else on the pitch that challenge was is Reckless
You see it every week strikers being Clattered late after a shot and the penalty rarely comes !
