Ok - I'll bit. 1. DOGSO or SFP for me. Same as throwing a boot etc providing you actually heard him give the instruction? Red card and penalty. 2. Offensive gesture - toilets are that way. Red card. 3. Goal and sack. 4. Still seems like an excessive challenge. Can't really see how...

Got 10/10 this time - now I can sleep.

I don't get to do lines - different system entirely. Only 3 tiers of adult football in the North here - junior, intermediate and senior and referees classed as same. As for promotion, not the same fair and open system as the mainland unfortunately (not that I have any ambitions on that score...

I don't know if it's 7 - who's the referee at the end? That's an odd question.

Then it's your fault for being in the wrong place and too close - according to the people above with the best view from the dugouts (touch line at my level) anyway. Is there a point where all the positioning etc. in the world fails to compensate for the fact that the standard of football you're...

Good to know. On Saturday for example I would never have taken my phone out. Noah sailed by at one stage in an ark. The paper was a mess though by the end ....

Is this an app that would involve taking a phone / device out on the pitch? If that's the case what about rain, phones falling and being trodden on etc.

Been trying to figure out why I only got 9. Can go to bed happy.

I actually think the above post nails it; you try to work smart, 'how'd you give that from there? You try to work hard by running after the ball for 90 minutes, you end up busted so end up with 'how'd you give that from there.' Textbook catch 22.

I'd log the caution under Club, Schwarzenegger, A and let the club explain to the FA why they've got such a smart arsed little pr*ck on their crew when they can't find Arnie's registration. I'd say that'll be a MasterCard moment for £100.

Never. (Edit: rant removed)

Maybe Scots - but could you seriously have guys from Wales and Ireland who only referee part time football at about conference standard (if that) at one of the world's major tournaments. Yes, Snoddy did it (in 1990 I think) and I know they're on the lists blah blah ..... But still - credibility?

Not something (law) that usually bothers FIFA

But why can't we do it more like rugby referees? I routinely call back passes - players appreciate it and nobody objects because I am consistent doing it. I also tell players who are maybe wandering back that they will be called offside. Keeps game moving and cuts that lottery element that I...

Does this thread deserve a single ticket to Dignitas?

To be honest, if an assessor had a problem with it, I'll be spending more time with my family at weekends.

Always shout back pass or not a back pass - shouldn't be a lottery.

Law 18

Common sense - a teenager, with a bit of a chip, is not the same as a 25 year old in open age.
