I think @Brian Hamilton post is a good example of how the whole incident could have been avoided . I've been in a similar situation on the line (although it was a cup game it was early rounds) where, after giving an offside, the right back has said "**** off lino you cheat" and so I put the flag...

A hearing is to decide upon what has happened. Why do you think that a hearing is "not justice" well no of course it isn't, the referee is acting as a witness at the hearing.

You're not contributing anything to this discussion. Oh well, I can only be responsible for what I say - not how you choose to interpret it.

I did. And if you didn't you would have every single penalty in every game of football retaken. My answer in a LOTG exam would be correct but do you think it is feasible to have every penalty retaken? If a penalty goes wide and you order a retake for defensive encroachment, where it is not...

Yes, so how has what I put contradictory to your post? I said if the players get on with it then play on.... I can assure you that if the player has been put off he will most certainly not be getting on with it and that will fall into the second part of what I said. When a defensive free kick...

If you've decided that a manager is going and they refuse then you'll at some point get something along the lines of "I'm not going, it's a public park, you can't make me" in which case reply "No, I can't, but either you go or I will" and that normally does the trick - I've only had it go as far...

I keep it as simple as "Good tackle, keep going" or "Good header, carry on" when two players are going in 1v1 to win a ball. It saves them turning round to see if you're giving a free kick if they feel they've been fouled. If two players are going into a challenge and there's a bit of time I...
