    Far too many poor refereeing decisions this weekend

    And when was the last time you saw a referee trying to con a player into making a wrong decision or running up to a player and shouting or swearing at them when they miss an easy chance or score an own goal ?

    This could be fun!

    Very poor flag by the assistant, he's got nowhere near the ball let alone played it. There are clearly 2 people running who have a chance of getting to the ball. One who is offside and one who isn't. You have to delay the flag in this instance. Perhaps the assistant wanted a rest ?

    Yellow / Red ?

    If you didn't thing an OBVIOUS Goal Scoring Opportunity had been denied then not a red unless it was a bad enough challenge to warrant one !

    Junior/Youth Dealing with people after

    I have just noticed that you are 15 so they are also abusing a minor. Report it to the leagues CWO !

    Indirect FK???

    I don't, I go home at that point !

    Incitement of violence

    It is one of those situations that we can't really comment on without being there and only getting one side of the story. And as we know we all see what we want to see when it comes to our own kids !

    Doing the 'right' thing?

    If a player suggested to me that I may as well put a (whatever colour the opposition are wearing) shirt on, implying that I was cheating, he would be having an early shower !

    Referee attack

    That's really sad to hear, glad you are OK. If your RA are as supportive as mine do lean on them for support and with their help you will move on past this and be a better referee for it. Don't let one moron spoil it for you !

    Junior/Youth Go and kill yourself, Ref!

    I have to agree with the reds here but we all have differing opinions on these things. Don't lose any sleep over it !

    imitation of someone's accent

    If someone is Insulted (which as we know is the I in OFINABUS) it can easily be a red !

    Ibrahimovic Red Card

    As I have said before, when both sets of players spend the whole game play acting, trying to con the ref and trying to get each other booked or sent off, as happened all the way through last nights game, they can't complain if the ref gets one wrong ! Well said Mr Souness ...

    goalie cautioned for handling deliberate pass from team mate

    Sort of, all a matter of interpretation, I think we both know what we mean ;-)

    goalie cautioned for handling deliberate pass from team mate

    Quite simply deliberately handling a back pass when it is the only way you can stop the opposition gaining a clear advantage !

    goalie cautioned for handling deliberate pass from team mate

    No, that simply means that the goal keeper can't be cautioned for deliberate hand ball to break up an attack if he is within his area! If he knows the ball has been deliberately passed back by a team mate and he 'unsportingly' handles it he can be cautioned !

    Thought I'd seen it all

    Did the keeper deliberately drop the ball on ground or did he simply spill it ?

    goalie cautioned for handling deliberate pass from team mate

    Actually he does but it is a technical offence not a penal offence. It is not an offence to pass the ball back to your keeper, the offence occurs when he handles it ! A yellow card for unsporting behaviour could still be applicable ! I would also be worried if 65% of our RA thought DOGSO-H !
