    Some Tournaments for 2015

    I got an email recently for an Intersport tournament in Kaposvar in Hungary in July. Basically you apply as a team of 3, they pay your food and accommodation and give you some euros to live on, probably cost you about £300-400 to get there, would be a good experience though...

    Ciaran Clark tackle

    There is no contact as the ball is between them, its basic physics is why the player in the blue does a 180, momentum or rather his momentum suddenly coming to a sudden halt with the equalized force of Clark contacting the ball. Obviously I can see why some see it as a foul, or even a serious...

    Ciaran Clark tackle

    Nope, In my opinion there is no contact with the player and Clark's sole intent is playing the ball. Which he does. Where is the excessive force and endangerment given that there is no contact with the player?

    Ciaran Clark tackle

    That to me is a good solid tackle. Wheres the foul? From what I see Clark only makes contact with the ball there is no contact with the opposition player, unless it was netball lol

    Junior/Youth What decisions did you make this weekend that put a smile on your face?

    Junior/Youth What have I become, sending off an 11 year old!

    At best a yellow. Given that you were unsure who actually said it, and you took the defenders word for it, would for me make any sanction less than water tight. A word in the defender and goalkeepers ear about what is acceptable language and what isn't would have resolved the matter for me
