Some CFAs seem to be trying to make themselves defunct with decisions like that and outsourcing their discipline to a for-profit company.

Before this season, Law 12 stated that a goalkeeper is considered in control of the ball with their hands 'by touching it with any part of the hands or arms, except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save'. However IFAB has now deleted that particular text...

It wasn't particularly, see my screenshot above. No they can't. If a defender's arm position makes their body unnaturally bigger and is not due to the overall body movement then it is handball.

This actually hits his left arm first which is not extended much, and does not appear definitive whether it goes on to hit his right arm. Don't think VAR would intervene whether penalised or not, and I think it would be harsh to penalise given the overall body movement.

Clip starts very slightly earlier here Vanishing spray has been used so this is clearly an 'on the whistle' FK. Looks like ref delays his whistle while thinking about whether to intervene on the holding in front of him. Whistling at the moment the free kick is being taken always risks causing...

3:02 - any ideas what was said here?!

It doesn't sound like you have much personal experience of this referee, and are prejudging what will happen based on their age and a past incident?

Just for avoidance of doubt 'Senior Cup' means the highest level trophy awarded by the county and has nothing to do with player age.

Should be just the dismissal as it asks for the caution details. It was the same with Whole Game System.

Order of likelihood: Dropped ball to GK if the ball enters the goal, changes possession or a promising attack starts while the ball is inside the penalty area Goal kick if the ball passes over the goal line but does not enter the goal Dropped ball to attacking team if not clear that the GK /...

I don't see why there would be a referee announcement anyway if his on-field decision has been upheld.

Just seen the Gusto incident. I am flabbergasted at no intervention for that. The Arsenal penalty intervention I can understand if Gillett said over comms he saw no contact on ball, but I'm still baffled why that is considered a clear and obvious error while the Gusto challenge isn't. It just...

Looks like Everton player Rosa van Gool may have gone down looking for a penalty, not realising she has actually collided with the ref Sophie Dennington? 😅 (1:31)

Penalty kick awarded to Dundee on field, in added time with the score at 2-2. An on-field review took place and referee Ross Hardie did not change his decision. Incident (from 4:30): Alternative angles:

Why did the ball go where it did? Skill (lack of) or circumstances? My opinion in this case is it was primarily the circumstances, mainly the close range and lack of time to coordinate the body, that resulted in a lack of control and the ball ending up where it did. So offside (assuming the...

How do you know that no report was made?

'Abomination' is harsh - can sympathise that the ball comes from a deflection but doesn't negate that the arm is out from the body.

Agreed it was an excellent SFP decision!

Gillett disallowed a goal for a push by Van de Ven on Walker-Peters despite Van de Ven himself being pushed from behind by Fernandes. VAR confirmed the on-field decision. Incident at 23 seconds:

I echo the calls to moderate the language a bit, it doesn't help anything. And there is a 'laptop version' accessible by web browser here: https://app.centrecircleapp.com/#/home
