I wrote this on another forum. No Brentford player up the other end, clearly heading to at least Martinez, and gives dropped ball to Brentford. Thought the free kick on Martinez was soft, if at all it actually was one. Hes come from a few yards out towards the 2-3 players, misses the ball, and...

Teams will just start making 1, 2 or even 3 walls now. If they space their walls 1.8m from each other, no player can stand between them and they'll be within 1m of one of the walls, at least. Keeper may be slightly unsighted but can work on that. Have one wall in front of another, and one to the...

In the Leicester game, just now, how has the Sheffield Wednesday player avoided a yellow for that deliberate handball? Ref was blindsided, fair enough. Obviously either the assistant or 4O has given it on his behalf via coms, but surely the correct sanction would also be a yellow?

I may be wrong but that first one... did the attacker not pull the defenders arm effectively bringing him down. This actually then had a knock on affect by the falling player knocking another player down that committed the foul. I reckon with VAR that that could have potential to be overturned...

Last season, my last (at the moment, may go back next season), the leagues I was on was all different. Some were still using paper copies, some were using the app Comet, whilst one done both (in case the app failed). With regards to the app, some leagues were asking teams to complete the team...

Have to laugh at these. I was talking to my next door neighbour who went to a match in Scotland last night. He claimed the away side were allowed to walk 6-7 yards from where the throw should have been taken, yet the home side were penalised if they moved an inch. He claimed that there should...

Yeah, Arteta standing there to, I can't believe, delay restart. It is a friendly and they're losing 1-0 to their neighbours.

Apologies for the caption in the tweet. Can't help that. More focused on Arteta. There really needs to be more of a deterrent for coaches constantly out of their areas. Even more so when the play is by the touchline (could hamper an assistant seeing down the line or the actual play itself)...

Im guessing (first game I've seen thus euros) the games is haven't been doing the 8 seconds thing. Twice in a minute (between 88th and 90th) the German keeper had hold of the ball in her hands for about 20 seconds. The 2nd occasion it wasn't even any doubt about when she had control as she...

Here is another image from the auto offside...

A potential red card check for challenge on Williamson. Easy foul, very easy yellow. Could argue a red. Not even a free kick.. dropped ball restart.

Though she just gave a foul to England for our defender standing, and falling on, the ball..

Referees not having the best of games. How she gave that foul against Mead early second half is beyond me considering the one she allowed against Russo leading to the 2nd goal. And this offside?

Anyone watch this game. I can only go on highlights of the main game and watching extra time but the referee seemed very anti Italian. 7 cautions for Italy players, and a supposed extra card each to two players giving a red (say supposed because on both replays there is zero evidence of a 2nd...

Watching England game (could've made an England thread but felt its not England game related) and the ref has blown her whistle twice in the same corner to warn of holding with communicating to the captain too (who just walked off and didnt say a thing to team mates).. How many chances do you...

I've had that on some tournaments. I've been there from 830am (for 9am start) until 6pm where some refs have turned up minutes before kick off (especially on the 2nd day) and been given the early finish too. Same fee. Some of the refs were also given the preferential treatment of the older age...

Anyone seen the disallowed goal for ball out of play for a throw in? I'd love to know how they can conclusively say that 100% of the ball was out of play. Did the assistant flag for out of play, or say he thinks it is out but I'll play on to see what happens?

I've done final(s) where they don't pay at all and don't even tell you. By that, i got appointed to a double final, same day, and got a trophy for it after the second game. 1 line, 1 middle. Was there for approximately 6 hours too (factor in pre match, actual match (both 90 minutes), gap between...

Their implosion started before then. They lost to Bradford, whilst 12 points clear, on 25th January. They won 3 games in 21 matches!

I do wonder if the appts should've been opposite, with Atwell on the field and not in VAR
