    Player body slams opposition player.

    Well there's over reacting and there is picking an opposition player up and body slamming him into the ground. Would have been funny if he ripped open his shirt hulk hogan stylee. http://www.thesportbible.com/videos/worcester-city-s-shab-khan-does-a-wwe-body-slam-on-a-stockport-player I wonder...

    Outfield players wearing gloves

    The colour changes to undershorts and tape were to assist with offsides iirc so gloves don't count on that front so no need to care. I always check them before hand (excuse the pun), in case of buckles etc, purely fabric are fine.

    Rooney penalty

    In real time it looked a pen to me but as others have said in reality it's a blatant dive.

    Embarrassing moment pre kick off....

    I've got all the way to kick off, stood in the middle and gone to blow for kick off and realised I don't have my whistle on me. Had to run all the way back to the changing rooms and grab it to a background noise of moans and groans.

    Footballing clichés

    Whilst not directed at refs, I'm sure enough of us have previously played the game and or hear this regularly enough on a pitch. As an ex player I am guilty of shouting a few of these during a match...

    'Technical' and 'Dangerous' reds

    When I commented on this at my promotion seminar today, to a wide range of refs varying from the audience of levels 5-9 and the instructors, one a select group AR and the other a level 2B who refs in the blue square premier league or what ever it is called now, not one person thought bending the...

    Smoking cannabis on sideline

    Not sure there is a lot you can do, to play Devils advocate if some Romany traveller types brought horses onto a bit of land nearby and they started defecating so much it stunk the place out would you do anything? Basically I'm saying is it the smell that bothered you or the potential that...

    'Technical' and 'Dangerous' reds

    Oh and to say that those games mean nothing to the players is an insult to the thousands of honest guys and girls that were never blessed with enough skill to go higher but get out every weekend to play the game they love, not to mention to all our hard working referees who go out to these games.

    'Technical' and 'Dangerous' reds

    What did I just read. Whilst match control can mean you are harsher or more lenient depending on the temperature of the game so to speak, to flagrantly ignore the laws which we are supposed to enforce just so essentially you have an easier game is outrageous. I'm at my promotion seminar on...

    What really grinds my gears

    Ha ha I recall the fat little gentleman you refer to SM, his post match actions cost his team a point and a few quid the last time I reffed them before I left Pembs. The club assistant they gave me that day was the main cause of it for his insistence to attempt to pass judgement on everything...

    Open Age had a player who refused to take his wedding ring of but had it taped ....

    Has to come off, as Herts said it amazing how the ring that hasn't been off in ten years suddenly comes off when you refuse to allow him to play.

    Best Ground you have refereed at or ran line?

    Best so far would be Telford AFC's ground New Bucks Head Stadium.

    Getting a round of applause

    I once got a rollicking off an assessor for doing something similar, I was 4th official for a Navy U21s v RAF U21s match at Telford AFC's ground, about 100-150 people watching. Ball gets thumped out for corner but goes out of stadium, I turn around to bag where the balls are and ask one of the...

    Carpi vs Livorno Red Card

    Looked a cheeky one in real time, replay confirmed it. I'd say red is justified.

    Ouch that's going to leave a mark

    it's not as bad as the two footed lunge in a German amateur league game that I saw posted on here but still a cheeky one none the less. Excuse linking you guys to the daily fail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2915516/Boca-Juniors-Racing-Club-friendly-marred-horror-tackle.html

    Lucky to stay on the pitch

    Typical crafty Chelski scum bags, just like John Terry's sly dig on that Barcelona player. In all seriousness though, the ref was no where near in place to see it, shock horror for Phil Dowd I hear you cry. I'm sure had he seen it Cahill would have enjoyed the early shower he deserved.

    Birmingham is a Muslim only city!

    Fox News is the Daily Mail of American News networks. Some of the views expressed by our the country we have such a special relationship are scary. Take for instance the reaction that Piers Morgan faced for having the audacity to claim that America has got it's gun control laws all wrong...
