Second time England have been caught up in a game with PI not being punished with a second yellow. Seems to be the accepted approach in the professional game that PI cannot be punished with a second yellow through fear of ruining the game.

I think the ref missed a handball 🤣🤣🤣

Ref missing the most stonewall handball... 🙄

I haven't tried the Joma kit, but I found the Nike kit an awful fit, I bought my normal size in the shorts and they looked like hot pants.

It took 16 minutes for Harry Kane's first simulation of the game... terrible role model and captain for our national team. Didn't see this thread and started another one :facepalm:

And that's your opinion 👍

it’s the problem with subjective decisions I would argue that the keeper isn’t even ready for the follow up shot, the ball is past him before he’s even had time to make a conscious decision to make a save, he does that weird action of dropping to his knee when keepers know they have been...

Isn’t obstructing the line of the vision of the goalkeeper, applying the laws of the game, this shouldn’t be offside The attacker doesn't make any action The keeper is never in a position to make the save regardless of the Dutch attacker’s position, it’s past him before he sees it (the Dutch...

Terrible decision, the keeper has no chance of making the save

Hopefully none of our members got involved in this... horrible scenes all round and just reinforcing that tournaments should be given a wide berth https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1ee0700j4go

At least a caution? 😲 What would be your criteria to upgrade that to a red? A chainsaw to the leg? 🤣

FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! 🎉 I actually thought the first VAR review was a penalty, there was a second contact in the box by Tierney, that was enough to give a penalty for me! Absolutely disgraceful challenge by Porteous there!

If you hadn't guessed, I spend a lot of time on YouTube 🤣 There was an account shared last week of a ref who was wearing a body cam for games, which was a really good insight to refereeing at grassroots. (Until the CFA asked him to stop recording). This account takes it a step further, leaning...

Here's one to split the forum... are you Team Ref or Team Coach in this video? I must admit, I winced while watching the referee, one possible explanation for his behavior is that he not English (assumed), and this style of refereeing is more effective or respected on the continent. I do...

Going to play a bit of devils advocate here; I can't say I spend much time or attention looking at where the keeper is kicking from, especially at under 12s. To be honest, I would only pick up on it if a coach or CAR brought it to my attention (or players were consistently screaming about it)...

Asking the experienced heads (not excluding inexperienced heads), in another one of his videos a player is adamant that there is a foul throw because the ball is spinning upon release, so adamant that he argues himself into a position where I would be booking for dissent. I can't find anything...

Glad you picked up on the whistle as well. He must moonlight as a train dispatcher

It is a really good insight into the experience of grassroots refereeing Some might disagree with me here, not sure on the level of the referee, but this would be a good video of "how not to referee" for the refereeing course (not saying I am any better and I still have a lot to learn, but at...

Had similar with Ref Six, the app closes it self far too regularly for my liking leading to having to select the app from the list to reopen it. Also find it overly sensitive on occasions, like when recording a goal and it thinks you want to stop the time.

Agreed! It is indeed a bonkers situation, but it reflects the reality of many aspects of life. I used to commute to London for work because it offered the best opportunities for career advancement. My daily commute was two hours each way, and the high travel costs left me struggling financially...
