I'd be going with a RC for the first one. Second one on its own would be a stern warning that they were walking a very fine line.

My son's team played the same 'problematic' team away yesterday and they had a parent ref. By all accounts it was a terrible. Very dubious penalty given to home side, clear penalty to away side not given. Home team committing dangerous tackles, swearing and arguing with the ref, stamping on...

Yeah I tend to stand in the centre, write the final score etc on my match card and then write some imaginary scribblings to give them long enough to either approach or ignore me.

Do you guys offer the handshake or do you wait for coaches to offer?

I can't understand why there isn't a central DBS registry that you can link to yourself. Having to have separate ones for Football, Cricket, School etc makes no sense to me...

Not sure why I thought an offence by a substitute wouldn't be a FK. :wall:

That quoted post just about sums up why we will never get any decision ‘right’ in the eyes of half the people watching… To paraphrase Gene Wilder as The Waco Kid … “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple fans. These are people of the land. The common clay of the terraces. You know…...

One of those ones where at real time he looked to fling himself, yet one of the camera angles appeared to show contact and if VAR send the ref to the monitor I think it gets given.

A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when: the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has...

I can just imagine the reaction when VAR makes calls like these...

Just imagine trying to spot whether there is any overlap through a crowd of players...

I heard from a friend that they witnessed a coach of an U13 team, in his words 'full on swearing at them, calling them f****** s***' etc after the game last weekend (I know the coach they refer to and I 100% believe he would do it) From a safeguarding POV I'd obviously be reporting that, but it...

I honestly think that 100% 'correct' offside is impossible with the current technology. Drawing lines on a pixelated image which is already affected by the frame-rate and resolution of the camera plus no way to accurately determine actual moment the ball is kicked. We need a camera on a rail...

They showed one camera angle where it looked like it might have brushed Kane's hip on the way through, but they didn't show it again so who knows?

Do you know the reasoning behind the CARs not being able to give offsides?

I try to leave that to my AR (CAR in my case), unless it's really obvious.

I was promised an observer within my first 5 games which never happened and I've had to 'learn on the job' as they say (with lots of help from refchat!) but it's been ok as a mature adult. A couple of the 'kids' on my course were too shy to even call out 'blue throw' etc in the exercises so I...

Arteta charged by FA: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67442180

Under NW’s plan, would ex-pros and managers be allowed to officiate for clubs they played for / managed?”
