Is “what the game expects” tho more relating to a subjective nature. Here it is objectively a fact he hasn’t interfered with play. No referee on here should be disagreeing with that. The subjective element comes more from whether he’s interfered with an opponent, and most of those points can be...

He doesn’t touch a ball played or touched by a teammate therefore he cannot be interfering with play. Does he interfere with an opponent is a different question?

Luckily none of the appeals were fouls. I will say the lack of punishment on Malacia for PI was odd. I turned to my friend at the game and said I thought Malacia had about 6 fouls on Mahrez with no warning. Law is stupid and all that, but surely delaying the flag isn’t important here as he...

Phenomenal decision by Attwell, from my position in the stands seemed like he called it live on the field without VAR. It seems the majority of people arguing against it are trying to find loopholes due to the fact that common sense says it’s offside. You can argue the stupidity of the law all...

Only on in the pub on a small screen so missed any replays and can’t find it on Twitter, people not happy with it though. What was the Wolves third goal ruled out for?

Right decision for Salahs goal but a lot of people on Twitter upset. Does feel like a silly one but it’s certainly not the first one we’ve seen like this and I doubt it’ll be the last

Really don’t see how this post is relevant to the question posted

Heavy touch past keeper, keeper brings him down, covering defender had actually got to the ball by the time I blew, which helped sell the decision imo. Had it been a more controlled touch so it was clear attacker would’ve got there instantly had he not been fouled (especially because as Rusty...

I agree with you on every other point btw, a red card is the right option. I would get absolutely no enjoyment from showing a red card for DOGSO to a 13 year old in the last minute of the game but the law is the law. However I don’t necessarily agree with this point. In my experience of...

Thanks to everyone for the advice, I’ll respond to some of it. - Chas and Rusty both made the best point for me. As I said, the managers didn’t really bother me more amuse me it, but by not acting on it, it just creates problems, and I think it did in the U15 game. The comments, in particular...

I referee for a junior team whenever I’m home from uni and had an U14 and U15 game today (on top of an absolutely mental U14 6-6 County Cup game last week.) Both games were expected to be home walkovers and second one the U15 game was an expected 9-2 win but the first game U14 one was a shock...

I actually had that today in my U14 game, 5 minutes to go, away team back against the wall at 4-2 up but counter attack, keeper comes storming out (for some reason defenders would’ve eventually got there), striker knocks it past keeper and keeper carelessly brings him down. Clear foul...

🤣🤣 fair enough. Thankfully my CARs don't call offsides just the ins and outs

I’ve never thought much of it tbf, after all I need someone just to tell me in’s and outs. They’re not calling the offsides for me so I don’t need them for too much. On a side note my happiness with CARs has really increased recently. Early on I had a few games where they were definitely acting...

Goal disallowed for offside after a long period. Will find a clip but for those watching thoughts?

Handball there?

Jose Maria Marin and Juan Angel Napout. If you’re seriously ignoring the guilty pleas then that’s crazy but I’ll give you two names convicted in a court of law.

I appreciate the concerns but it’s an idea I am a fan of. However, it does raise many questions, many of which have been raised on here and also it obviously could not be used in youth football, even U18, for what I hope are obvious reasons. On a separate note, of all the crazy stuff I’ve seen...

I say this as a neutral, and someone who has been a fan of AT for years, but I can think of 4 big games he’s referred this season and I think he’s been poor in them all. His style has changed completely, and I’d be surprised if he refs like this for UEFA or at the WC. NLD, Chelsea-Spurs...

BACKGROUND (if you cba with a long post just skip to the incident) I’d taken a minor break from refereeing, not really consciously but more so just not actively seeking it despite having re registered and everything. Uni work takes it toll and with me getting back into playing football myself...
