Just watched the sending off of Lucas Paquetá, with 2 yellow cards. And then the sarcastic clapping off the decision. If this was a grassroots match, a second report would be going in and an extra ban issued. So, I hope the FA stand by their respect campaign and add another match to his...

https://talksport.com/football/3438735/shrewsbury-bromley-efl-league-two-match-suspended-crowd-referee/ It always surprises me that the game has to be suspended to find a 4th official! The injured AR could act as a 4th official until a additional official has been found in instances like this...

Chris Kavanagh made that decision quickly. Looks late and high, but no different to 10 other challenges this weekend. Was he right?

Guardian article re ceasing offsides With the number of problems it causes, at least they are thinking about doing something. FIFA won't allow, but would you be happy to stop offsides at Step 7 and below, all Sunday football and all junior football?

Interesting one at an Open Age match I was observing, and how not been able to find the answer.... Goalkeeper picks up the ball and runs towards the edge of his penalty to release. He stumbles and drops the ball. It took one bounce and he regather it. Referee allows play to continue. It was...

Video Is the referee correct?

Ex pro's wanting to be referees How many will stay and be interested after 18 months of it???? AND discuss

I know there is discussion thread on here, but it would be interesting to take a simple poll as to whether the EPL will abolish VAR and should they abolish VAR Votes please - they will make no difference the actual outcome.....

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68050252 Again, a failure of the stewarding at Wednesday to spot such disgusting behaviour. As with the Bradley Lowery incident, it has shown the clubs can't police their own stands. The FA need to warn Wednesday that another incident like this (and the...

One sided start to the match, but good awareness by the AR for the Nunez barge and YC given. Could have got another for the sarcastic applauding of the decision?

One of the largest youth leagues in the country has today put the following statement out to all member clubs. Will this make any difference, given the other warnings coming out of County FA's. Kid's football no longer looks like fun, just a place for idiots to come and have a argument on a...

As people will have seen on social media, the match at Darwin was abandoned. This was, reportedy, due to crowd abuse of the an 18 year old AR. We don't want to be commenting on the match, but it does prose the questions - at the start of the season, are the league appointing too inexperienced...

A message for the Step 2 - 6 observers: Observing colleagues, Ahead of the big kick off I thought I would provide you all with a short overview of the areas of technical focus in time for the new season. The below should come as no surprise to any of you as we ask you to focus your minds ready...

There is now huge commentary regarding the crowding of referee at MKI's. Players wanting cards for offences, etc. Then other wanting cards for players crowding the referee, when there is no offence. All very childish!!!! But the one constant - where is any comments from the PFA about this. They...

Since the FA have now issued their charges against Fulham, I have created a new thread for this matter and moved the relevant postings. The old MAN v FUL thread can still be used for comments about the match, rather than the charges.

VAR IS BRILLIANT!!! Any interesting match - a brilliant award of the 2nd Grimsby penalty for the hit out by the SOTON centre-half. But very disappointed about the time taken for the VAR review for the 1st penalty and that the AR2 got Walcott's offside for the disallowed goal wrong. Without...

Match highlights - start at 1.50 No doubts about the Red,what a horrible challenge in your debut. First player in 9 years in EPL to be send off on debut. A nice 3 match holiday to get to know the city of London :p
