I had the same the other week... In the box!! Ball crossed in, defender slides to clear it... Hits bobble, pings off his knee and hits his hand. Big "no way" from me and that was it... Attacking team were not happy. Apparently if you gain control of it it has to be a pen... Few weeks later found...

Do you ever remind them of the law dan?? I know I woul

If a player tackles recklessly is c1 Reckless play... If a player fouls an opponent in order to prevent a promising attack it's c1 Foul tackle That's my understanding

Just gonna throw this out there... What I have noticed from my time on here is that the posters who stick stringently to the law are also the ones who seem first to call others names... I'll name names if you like but if you read up and on other similar threads then there are the same probably...

I get that but surely at lower levels there is even greater call for common sense when it comes to situations like this...

Why no?? I've been told enough times by enough high level referees/coaches etc that refereeing to expectations is a good thing... By that I don't mean that I ignore ofinabus or dissent, or that I back out of big decisions. What I do mean is that certain games require a different approach... In...

I'd say I'mI'm pretty pure haywain

Given the context of your game I'll let you off on your strictness brian ;) fully understand why you did it and would've done the same...

That Lino is an absolute nightmare!!

No bothered... Merely interested

Out of interest... Can any of the 'by the book' camp understand the 'give em a warning' camp's point of view?? As a warning guy myself I can understand why the 'by the book' camp do what they do, after all the good book says this is a caution able offence...

Can only imagine the player in red said something...

Why so strict?? Yes it should be a caution, but no one expects it, no one wants it, and all that will happen (imo) is the players will walk around thinking "what a jobs worth" and the likelihood of be building a rapport with them is around 0

Quite... Personally I prefer to referee to expectations. (Cue backlash)

And I bet he does it every week... When I played out keeper used to do 3 of these at intervals in his half of the pitch... Never brought up on it once

Most players don't know they can't do it and will be very surprised to receive a caution... Surely shouting across at him to pack it in would do the job?? Just my opinion...

Please tell me you warned the player first?? Very harsh otherwise imo

Foul tackle breaking up a promising attack would fit the bill

No debrief?? That's poor..

First assesment on Saturday... Div 1 game between 4th and 7th. Looking forward to it :D Only think is that it says I'm going for promotion 6-4, however I haven't even put forward from promotion yet (emailing rdo later today to see when he wants to know by) and even if I had I certainly wouldn't...
