If the whole ball is out of play as you said, then you acted honestly, which is what we are all about, and correctly you awarded a throw in, what happened next was an incident that took place during a stoppage in play, which you dealt with accordingly. DEVILS ADVOCATE: Can you think of 2...

A player cannot be given offside DIRECTLY from a throw in, corner kick, or a goal kick anywhere on the field of play Goal kicks need to be taken with the ball stationary, but the ball may be positioned anywhere inside the goal area ( lines being included as part of the goal area) opposing...

law 3, makes it clear he has to get a signal from the referee that he can leave, hence the need to firstly inform the referee that they wish to make a substitution. Sub replacing him should have been cautioned (entering without permission) and removed and not allowed to replace the player now...

Have a rugby style penalty goal for DOGSO offences, yellow card only, why should next weeks team get an advantage of perhaps the star defender being suspended? As for those who fake and dive, if they put an opponent at risk of being s/o by their cheating, instant red card for them instead when...

I shouldn't have played the day before, I refereed 90% of the team I played against the day before, Saturday game was brutal/spiteful, no matter what I did it was wrong with them on the Sunday. I stopped playing at the end of that season, oil and water, they don't mix Brian, playing and refereeing

That's always been my benchmark, across the FOP, if the a/r can't clearly id the defenders or attackers on the far side because of fog, failed light or indeed heavy rain or snow, it's a good time to stop. Possible improvement or no possible improvement should be indicated by suspension or...

Last weeks ref is always the best they've had, or the worst, depending on how they got on! It's the ones that make every effort to run the game properly and nip out any mischief who're normally given this gem of information

Several years ago in an FA booklet on report writing, that very example was actually described as a s/o offence, as was pr*t

havent really scrolled all through each and every thread, so my question is this; Has the 'general' use of poor/bad language improved, stayed about the same, or worsened in your county over the last 3 seasons? Whatever, any particular reason for the improvement/status quo/decline in your...

Back in the dark ages when I took up refereeing, I was given some advice regarding (what was then foul OR abusive language) of which no strict or definitive list has ever been produced by The FA, even after morphing into Offensive, Insulting or Abusive language as it now exists. PERSONAL...

Good to recycle Brian, I think you and I can look back enough to see the timings of some topics re-occurring over those years too. Interestingly for us (Oxon) the results from this kind of session actually offered us a preview of what we'd need to 'cover' on one of our pre-county cup final...

I questioned this too SM

I regularly took a transistor radio to Saturday afternoon games, 5 live after the game turned up blocked any of the nonsense out, without being so loud I couldn't still understand what was going on between dressing rooms if I needed to. After a few minutes the volume can usually be slightly...

Your shins throb and ache after your daily run or just sprinting to catch the bus. It could be shin splints. They can be caused by: Irritated and swollen muscles, often from overuse Stress fractures, which are tiny breaks in the lower leg bones Overpronation or ''flat feet" -- when the...

There's a case for guaranteeing who a referee is when officiating children or vulnerable people isn't there? Since 1996 Oxfordshire have identified 3 registered referees (pre CRB check era) who've previously committed offences against children, 1 of whom is now serving life imprisonment for...

I did know ASM I just love people pointing to the right bit of the laws Devil's advocate and all that
