Disagree, if you watch the slow replay, deliberate movement of the hand to touch the ball. First contact on arm OK, second movement deliberate

I think that stoppage was for a Liverpool wheelchair fan who gave the Bournemouth player a "gob full" at a throw-in a few minutes ago. First game of the season for him, and last as well 😄

The test of this is tonight in the opening EPL game (or more likely on Monday when Pickford plays - being one of the most time wasting keepers we see on TV) If the referees start awarding corners over this weekend, then we can d code it is a good law change. If they don't, then nobody will be...

Yes, safeguarding needs to be considered, and once the immediate assessment has been made, they should remove themselves from the FOP

If it looks bad and he can be the first on the scene, let him be. He may be a trained medic, so he made the person they need. Once the technical staff come on, you should encourage away to let them do there job. Would I suggest a EX report be submitted for this, No. I would have just ignored...

If you are doing for the local RA, I would do less on challenges as these are covered in other training material. The new / young referees need guidance in the strange decisions at local level 🧟‍♂️ Examples - what happens a dog runs onto the FOP - deflated ball going into the goal - 12 players...

Agree C

@asperlz These were you first 2 games, don't overthink what the players are saying. Every referee is the worst referee, if they are not getting all the decisions. It is a motivating tool for the players. While you are starting, don't try and overanalyse your performance during the game, do...

No, the correct response is "no I am not. In case you are colour blind, the card is RED" Then wave 👋

From the Northern Premier League rules, you continue with less than 3 officials

I recall there was an FA cup 3rd round tie a few years ago, where the Referee and 4O both went down. One of the AR had to take over in the middle but the teams could not agree on a replacement AR (as the one who volunteered was on the non-football staff of the home club). They had to finish the...

If you aren't - train with somebody as they will give you an indication where you need to improve. It maybe you take too long to get up to speed sprinting, so you need to work harder at the first 5/8 yards.

Watched the Grimsby v Crawley, the penalty given (by the AR) was doubtful. But the challenge in the 2nd half, where the Grimsby player is pulled by the back of his shirt should have been. In fairness to the referee, player was facing him, so had no chance to see and wrong side for AR. Sorry...

https://talksport.com/football/3438735/shrewsbury-bromley-efl-league-two-match-suspended-crowd-referee/ It always surprises me that the game has to be suspended to find a 4th official! The injured AR could act as a 4th official until a additional official has been found in instances like this...

Also, extra time is "overtime", so you get an extra 50% fee for the extra work

I suffered from the same and standing on a step (or a kerb) for a few minutes helps. Also, see a podiatrist as you may have alignment issues cause by pro or antinarion of the foot. Some specialist insoles may help

If in doubt for a throw-in, guess. It is easier than trying to justify a wrong decision

Don't worry about making a mistake during the match. The players don't mind and they won't mention it at all

Chris Kavanagh made that decision quickly. Looks late and high, but no different to 10 other challenges this weekend. Was he right?

I would add for the managers "For substitutions, please wait until I signal for them to come on."
