IMO any referees officiating in a professional league should be professional themselves. Players are training everyday to improve their game and their fitness so referees should be doing the same. This would however include the Conference which is a mostly professional league. I don't...

Personally I would not mention the racial remark as you did not hear it. If the club wants to take it further with the FA than that's up to them. The penalty incident sounds more like frustration that he was fouled so would tell him to watch his language and leave it at that. The red card is...

Agreed. He had a great game. Niall Quinn also proving further that pundits haven't got a clue. He was certain it was a penalty for the handball. It definitly wasn't

Why would the County FA go nuts? If you mean talking about match incidents then as long as you do not mention the teams or the competition there should be no problem

I have always been told by refs I have been with to NEVER get involved in mass confrontations. Simply because if players start swinging punches then there would be a good chance of you being on the end of it.(Whether they were trying to hit you or not) Instead I have always been told to get into...

It was definitely physical enough to be rugby

The one team has won 3 games in 3 seasons and have a combined goal difference of -619 across the last 3 seasons so it was no suprise

Definite pen but probably looked on the edge from the refs point of view

Just back. Match finished 19-0 and had 90 minutes of players moaning about the pitch and the club linesman.

So finally after just being assistant for a few seasons I am making the leap up to doing adult middles. Only ever done 1 proper adults game which I had to abandon after 60 minutes due to a mass brawl so hopefully this one is a little easier. Its a game between the team bottom who have conceded...

Very good point Maybe only incidents outside the penalty area being classed as DOGSO? Inside the area they win a penalty which is a chance of scoring and more often than not they are scored

I don't see anything wrong. They both had their eyes solely on the ball and the elbow was completely accidental

He is spot on with this Personally I would like to see that the goalkeeper can not be sent off for DOGSO however outfield players still can. This could solve the diving problem like mentioned in the video as the player doesn't have a motive of trying to get the keeper sent off. Outfield...

Ah ok. There was no opponent near him so there was no danger so play on was probably correct then.

Please show me where in the LOTG it says it is mandatory that there is contact for serious foul play.

It doesn't say injure your opponent it says IN DANGER of injuring your opponent. If you go in for a horror challenge and miss the player by millimeters you have not made contact but you have put them in danger and if either of you were a second slower or quicker then it would of seriously...

There may be pictures showing contact but it does not say in writing that there needs to be contact "A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play" "Using excessive force means that the players...

Incident that has just happened on the tele in the match between Preston and Walsall A Walsall player went in for a tackle and in doing so he lost one of his boots. Once play had gone on he went and retrieved it before attempting to put it back on. Before he could get it on the ball came back...
