    Can you tell [redacted] to stop DM’ing me, because as lovely as those photos are, I still can’t appoint them to Guernsey? Thanks!

    Offside - deliberate play or deflection?

    Stakeholders (ugh) want factual, while also including opinion-based decision-making in their regulations. Pick a lane.

    F50 - Week 08

    Nah, you can have the bonus points. I don’t feel it’s fair to punish someone for an honest error, the “punishment” is you scored 0 from the matches as if you didn’t enter. Case closed 👨🏻‍⚖️

    F50 - Week 08

    I started to just apply 2 to all of them, a rule I think we've discussed in the past, but it felt genuinely harsh so just zero'd. Was so busy all week I didn't actually spot it until this morning (plus this forum's always bloody offline)

    Open Age Dealing with persistently niggly fouls

    With fouls circulating like this, sometimes it can be helpful to just prompt yourself regarding persistence. Three in one half from the same player starts to ring that bell for me. “Just a foul by blue 7” Etc If you find your brain going “hang on… I’ve said blue 7 a few times” then there’s...

    I get it from a match control POV. I’ve asked you to do this, so don’t a) not do that, b) inflame the situation, c) cause an incident. But never feels allll that fair that someone’s clattered 19 yards out and cos a keeper yells WALL within a nanosecond, the expectation is that we spend another...

    Easy YC. Player’s a daft bugger there. He’s chosen to make that challenge, and got it wrong. Actions have consequences. See ya 👋🏻

    F50 - Week 08

    ⚽ FORECAST FIFTIES ⚠️ Note: Week still in progress (bonus game) Another tough one, starting with a real mixed-bag in the Rome derby, but credit to Tingers for getting that spot-on (6). Only four people had the stalemate down in Bournemouth, with three people plumping for the 1-1 up in...
