Front right - Yellow write-on Front left - red write-on Top left - Book with spare cards and sharpie Top right - spare pen, coin, extra whistle Used to only use the notebook for cards but after I bottled a DOGSO-R (90th minuted and lopsided game) I switched to pockets. If my hand's in a...

One that happened last year js free kick is saved by the GK, goes off bar, post, deflects off defender to attacker that was offside when the shot was taken. Good offside call and to my surprise no complaints once it was explained

Had one a while ago after an awful tackle. Both teams coming in, nothing too awful happened. After what felt like an eternity but probably not more than thirty seconds and ringing ears for anyone in my vicinity, both teams were sent to their halves, three reds (1x SFP, 2VC) and a host of...

I've seen Anthony Taylor and other UCL refs give advantage for holding someone without it being clearly a promising attack and then going back and caution for USB or showing a lack of respect for the game. IFAB, imo, does give leniency to the referee to use the ethos of the laws to uphold them...

On the other hand, this clearly is a lack of respect for the game though. I'd say it obviously makes it right to caution for it because this is what that "get out of jail free" clause in the law is for because we know the laws don't cover everything that *should* be cautionable in the regular...

Could also be that Oliver communicated the number wrongly to her AR's over comms, I've heard it quite often that the CR will just say 'NO4, Yellow card,SPA' and I wouldn't be surprised if the assistents wouldn't bet an eye, in which case they're still not safe from a holiday but better off than...

The AR didn't have a view on it as he was busy flagging a marginal offside when they have been told to wait and see. That's the thing that's still mind boggling to me, would have been a sent off Pickford if Oliver'd been allowed to give the PK, see the assistant with his flag up and then check...

Although I also rank most of my games with a lot of cards in my worst ones, especially the 'avoiding' the cards. Much like Oliver last Saturday, if he'd been a bit stricter on the advantage, Richarlison wouldn't have gone off and Thiago wouldn't be injured. It's just so difficult to understand...

Brushed under the rug a bit, but I'm also seriously considering binning Robertson for kicking out after he was fouled by Mina. Richarlison and Pickford are similar, rash tackles that both should have ended in reds. Think Oliver is regretting waiting for an advantage there although Richarlison...

Offside offense did come before the 'tackle' but I don't understand why the assistant flags when he knows to let the attack play out with wait and see

This is my mind's exact picture when thinking of SFP, I think they're incorrect in law by not sending Pickford off here. Any outfield player's taking an early shower here

What do we make of that Pickford challenge? It's offside but that doesn't negate the absolute excessive way he goes in

Ah I didn't know black is reserved for refs on your side of the pond. Over here, we sorta have to have three colours to be sure none match with a team. I'd like it if I always got to wear black but that sadly isn't always the case

Absolutely hate those decisions where you give a free kick, potentially a card and the fouled player and defender both know what's up. And then you hear the full bench and everyone from about 80 yards away complaining about the call as of I wasn't ten yards but ten lightyears away

Looks like solid decisions, not sure giving yellows here is required with CAR not helping here. Wondering why you're wearing black though, isn't that confusing for the teams?

Okay, I'll stick to what'd happen on the other side of the pond and I'm glad European refs are sending off for either VC or SFP for these. Both are accepted and I've seen assessors lower scores for not applying the law if they let these slide. I think in law, you're absolutely allowed to send...

Okay, perhaps it's a stretch about the 'incredibly dangerous nature of the challenge'. Doesn't take away from the rest of the post or the example given. I'm honestly asking why'd you even reconcile yourself with keeping a player that makes a challenge like this on the pitch instead of doing...

I really wouldn't want to be on the pitch where a ref doesn't give a red for this. It's an absolute stretch to call this reckless when there's zero attempt at making a good tackle. We can't have our cake and eat it too when players shout 'got the ball' but that's when we often give fouls or...

I had a weird advantage today which led to a goal. Goalkeeper clears but gets clattered, applied wait and see when a midfielder gets one hell of a first touch and spins his marker. Two passes later, it's a goal. It's all relative to level as stated before but that felt good even if it was...

Okay this is where I step in as a player. In post 16, it was stated that an attacker would expect this challenge. If I were to expect this challenge coming in from experience, I'd consider stopping football. I don't think it's anything to do with football. I've been hacked down a couple of times...
