Tom Daley is now worried about his place in the diving team for the next Olympics. He thinks Rooney may get selected in front of him ! At least the keeper did actually make contact with Costa !

Decided to go away for the weekend !

You are right offside decisions are hard to call which is why it amazes me that some refs think they can call them all and not let CAR's help with them. The only way you can possibly call offsides (unless they are miles off) is by being in line with the second last defender, anywhere else on...

The decision of whether the pitch is playable and whether or not the game goes ahead is yours and yours alone and the managers have nothing to do with it !

Are the teams not obliged by competition rules to provide a CAR. I would have said either you find me two CAR's or I am off home!

Quick question, who picked up the one pound coin? I can tell you for a fact that it wouldn't have been me and if the manager didn't I would have reported him for not paying me the correct fee. I think you should report the guy, this kind of behaviour is not acceptable !

How is a ref paid in the US ? Probably in US Dollars ! :)

Law 12, page 123 ! A caution is specified for circumventing the law. The IDFK is the correct way to restart the game after you have stopped it to caution a player, as you would if you stopped it to caution a player for entering without permission, for example !

No, The IDFK is not for the offence. You stop the game to caution the offender for the USB offence. The restart is then an IDFK from where the offence occurred !

I gave one of these last season and cautioned the offender. They all looked at me blank faced !

You have time for a 'Conference' Pre-Match. What time do you turn up for games. I usually just have a chat :-)

So, you drop the ball at a players feet who has said he will kick it back to the keeper. He takes a little sideways touch, kicks it towards the keeper who misses it and it goes in the goal. You have to give the goal. What's the point ?

As I said, as worded the law is a complete waste of time and needs amending !

Mmmm just read the law, looks like your right, needs amending or it is completely pointless as it stands.

I would have had a chat with him and pointed out that it was him who had let 13 goals in so he may want to get his own eyesight checked out !

No he can't !

In a recent game I stopped play due to an attacking player down in the penalty area with a possible head injury. When we were ready to restart I simply dropped the ball in the penalty area and the keeper picked it up. Assessor told me after the game that the keeper cannot handle a drop ball...

There are 3 players in centre circle taking the kick off !

Why, have you seen it from his angle. They couldn't show it from Mariners angle on Sky last night so I doubt it !

Reading's Madejski Stadium ! ESFA Finals last season.
