    Open Age That's just a sin bin right ref?

    Sure, but it can help calm the rest of the players down when you give an explanation to the captain why one of their teammates is being sent off.

    Team left at half time

    It is highly unlikely that you will get any stick at the meeting. The CFA will simply ask if you have anything to add, ask questions (for the purpose of investigating the incident, not to catch you out!) and may ask some questions of the offenders. Remember, you're not the one on trial; the team...

    Junior/Youth he's already on a booking ref!

    If the play is moving away from goal, it is hard to justify a caution for a promising attack. Sounds like it was not a booking.

    AR walks off during game

    I think we need to accept that some people are not cut out for this gig. People who respond emotionally to highly charged situations are those sorts of people. They can be used at low levels to fill in where needed; but they are not the kinds of people who should be given opportunities for...

    Criticised for... good refereeing

    Yes and they take it out on the referees by making them "failed referees."

    Where do you stand on managers approaching you

    I usually stand where I was stood when they approached. Oh, that's not what you meant. Ok. Like many have already said, my position is that I will hear out any concerns or answer any questions put to me in a respectable manner once all of my other duties are complete. In the highly publicized...

    Retrospectively thinking you may have made a big mistake after the game

    If you want to reflect on it, try to run through the incident in your head and use the FIFA considerations to determine whether you made the right or wrong decision. This can help you in the future though, obviously, it cannot change what has happened. That being said, and most importantly...

    Everton

    Nobody is questioning whether Sigurdsson makes an "obvious action;" the question is whether his obvious action prevents his opponent from playing the ball. My answer is that it does not prevent him from playing the ball in any possible way.

    RM Vs MC

    The Jesus goal was in no way, shape, or form a foul; his arms went up, but there was no extension (so no push) or grabbing (no pull either). If a defender does the same thing in the PA, we say it is expected contact on a corner; why not for the attacker too?

    FIFA Referees Fitness Test

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will take your advice and meet with a trainer at least once got an overall planning session. Re: smashing it out of the park, I can aim to sprint significantly quicker than the required speed, and I can perform well on the HI run segment by focusing on...

    FIFA Referees Fitness Test

    Anyone have any experience training for this? I have around 2 months to prepare, I'm reasonably fit but really want to smash the test out of the park. Advice for training on a treadmill is also welcome, as I am stuck inside for about a month as we await Spring.

    Chelsea v Utd

    Son Heung-Min got sent off by VAR for something considerably less flagrant than that a month or two ago.

    Bobby Madley is back

    Imagine... a scouser talking sense! Now, should I get fired for that? Of course not.

    Attempt to trip .

    In this case, I usually say "and aren't you lucky that you didn't" or something like "I know; and if you had, it would have been a caution."
