    Palace v Chelsea

    They could go back to the original - if it's deliberate in the referee's opinion then it is penalised. Half the people disagreed immediately, then forgot about it😊

    Times Players Have Corrected You (Correctly)

    My wife is struggling to understand this situation, although I explained it very clearly, as follows: A refereeing colleague, wearing shirt and shorts as usual, was in a dimly lit field with a group of young ladies one evening. One turned to the referee and said "I used my hand, couldn't get...

    2026 Potential Law Changes

    Level 4 referee averaging above 73

    Promotion from 4 to 3 is not based solely on the average mark or Merit Table position. The website England Football outlines the way in which decisions are made.
