Couldn't agree more with @Yacinho s post... My other half is a teacher and I can't emphasise the difference between when I was a kid and how it is now ! I played for a local team when I was about 14 (I played in Goal) and whined at the referee about a corner and said he was **** (so everyone...

Well I think it's fair to say someone will severely piss you off at least once a week... Are any of us in trouble because we've given the instigator a mouthful and/or a wallop ? If I lost my rag everytime someone annoyed me then I wouldn't be here now, I'd be in a jail cell ! Mistakes happen...

It was a misunderstanding that could have been very easily rectified. Instead he chose to kick off and brand you a racist... Absolutely disgusting !

One stupid candidate and thank god he's been copped ! But the party as a whole is not racist !!!

It's happened again... You can't make a sensible opinion without someone playing the racist card ! So are you saying if someone dragged your name through the mud as a racist you wouldn't want to see some sort of justice come your way ? On a side note, it makes me chuckle when people think UKIP...

Don't worry, he'll say you were being racist to throw mud... It won't stick, managers/players/other referees will know you're not racist ! He should be banned and fined for accusing you of such things in the same way a woman can be prosecuted for making false rape allegations !

I think all managers should have to complete Thier referee course and referee 3 11v11 matches (at any age group) before they can have thier managers "licence" (or whatever it is that qualifies them). I also agree with @the walloper - referees should have to attend a workshop at some point to...

I don't know about Blackpool but Hartlepool have just came from 3 down to finish the game 3-3... Caps off the greatest escape legue 2 has ever seen !

I can't believe the player was so accepting of your decision ! But still, good call :-) I would say a good offside call was mine... Back end of last season green v red - local mens legue: red winning 1-0 with 2 mins to go and if red had anything less than a win would relagate them (i heard the...

I, once upon a time, blew for offside then realised I was wrong and shouted play on... Chaos ensued as you can expect, and the attacking team scored When the dust settled, my club marks reflected my shoe size !... I still can't get over it to this day !

Haha @DaveMac you brave man ! I was going to say that but feared swinging from a tree with a noose around my neck !

It is an unnatural position I agree, but it's one of those 1/10,000 moments where the guy has genuinely put his hand up for handball and its hit him... In this particular situation I would let him off.

Yeah it has to be pretty blatent and deliberate for me to dish a YC out... But from the situation you described I wouldn't have give a free kick for that, it's an obvious accident. I also agree about the PL refs giving hand balls for nothing ! So many times I've had to say "he couldn't do...

I watched him mark one corner out with cones and he counted the distance so I felt pretty safe in the knowledge that he was being fair. I can just see it next week though, either he, or the away manager will do it and someone will get chewy about it and it'll cause high tensions :-/... But...

Jesus Christ, I think everyone knew @DaveMac was kidding... I've said it before, it always takes that one person to take it to the extreme ! No ones giving out awards for anti-sexism today :-)

Yeah that's what I thought I was just worried if it ever happened again and the other coach kicked up a stink about it I wouldn't know what to about it. But yeah it worked out quite well in the end... They only did 1 short coner too so it was a waste of time

This was something very minor that cropped up in my game yesterday. The home team manager had put white cones down to mark out the 10 yards from the corner flag because "his team were guna take lots of short coners today and didn't want the team encroaching". I didn't do anything about it at the...

Couldn't agree more, a few times I've sent someone off for Offensive language they argue that Rooney or gerrard or some other too flight footballer said that and nothing came of it... :-/

Thank you @Russell Jones ! That is everything I was trying to say :-)... COMMON SENSE AT ITS FINEST ! It would depend on the situation: for example, like jones said, if a player suddenly changes language and begins shouting or adopting a more aggressive tone then yes that is absolutely a...

Getting a red card for speaking your own language ?...That's not what we're saying at all. I'm making the point that why would someone choose to speak to you in a foreign language, knowing or assuming full well you can't understand ? It's PURE ignorance from THEM !!! I'm not saying automatic red...
