In the situation mentioned with the intentions you had, I personally would deal with it in the following way: Nice and relaxed, making the talking gesture with your hand 'Come across please Red 6 - just a chat. Thanks' At that point if he's being a jerk off as he was, the voice becomes louder...

Unsure on the initial red, but if he walks the White striker, he has to level it with at least one Red. Keeper seems the obvious one, he had completely lost the plot. Did the Red keeper throw a half hearted head but or spit during phase 2?

You represent your employment, associations and other loyalties (family etc) at all times, whether you choose for that to be the case or not. Most employers have written in staff contracts that should their conduct outside of work reflect badly on the business they can be disciplined or...

My old man is a massive Port Vale fan and came moaning about it last Sunday. He asked me to look at it with him on the replay, so we did. I have to agree with the second yellow. Naturally the old bean thought it was ridiculous as it was his team and duly sulked I didn't agree with him...

Well done for being prepared in asking the question before the game, and apologies my input is too late but one for future reference in any penalty situation (including in game/not shootout)... I learnt from bitter experience one piece of advice: as the player taking the kick walks towards you...

I've not had seen the incident in question, but didn't Roger East have a similar experience a few weeks ago? Waved away a penalty shout before assistant got in his ear with (I would imagine) a 'what the hell are you doing man, award a penalty' shout to get him to the correct decision, despite...

Excellent post that mate. I'd seen and heard abit about the Flash Lag Effect, but they are the most detailed articles I've seen on it. Also seen videos of the practical element being carried out, thought I would love to take part.

Oh how I would have loved to mate. Perhaps that's what he needs long term to help next weeks' ref. And that sums it up mate. Cowardice safe in the knowledge the worst I can do is report it, and I can't even verbally tongue lash him outside of 'shut up and go away'. Hardly seems fair.

Ordinarily I would agree. I'm a big believer in the school of thought that you can say whatever you want to anybody, providing you use the right words. But not this time. There are a number of reasons in this case: - The score (a degree of it was frustration I expect, and all the players on the...

Had a game this morning, Yellow vs Green. Done both teams on a number of occasions, Green excellent team who win the league and all the cups they're in every season and play some quality football. Yellow very disrespectful to referees from the Manager down and generally a bit of a handful...

Good God I'm done here! Far too much preaching and self-righteousness for me!

Lol, how can it leave the pitch without leaving play? Doesn't make sense! :)

I disagree, and think some referees mis-interpret the laws to satisfy their own feeling of importance and to encourage player confrontation.

Unbelievable! I'm not that heartless. But... What if the player concerned was completely unaware of your request up until the point you walked him? Genuinely in shock!

So you'd immediately be out with the red, rather than bring the player in, perhaps with the captain and warn them that you've asked previously but if it appears again you'd have no choice?

Answered your own question mate! Went out of PA when it went over the goal line.

I forgot, a lot more people will hear it if it's on the pitch between the George and the Dog and Duck than an album listened to by millions... Ok, rightly or wrongly I often call my friends a c*nt if we're out and about, as is the case the opposite way round. As I said, term of endearment. If...

1 Sounds like you handled as you saw fit. Put a complex scenario like that to 5 different refs and you'd get 5 different outcomes. 2 Lesson to learn here regardless - if a goalkeeper is down injured (including an injury like this where no offence has occurred) always stop play immediately for...

That's rubbish. C*nt can, believe it or not be used as a term of endearment if in the correct tone. Any word can. You think all these black rappers are racially abusing each other when they call each other the N word as a collective for their friends?
