Absolutely. Poor decision from the referee which I’m sure she’ll be disappointed with but the actions of the player should have him very embarrassed and I’m certain there will be a retrospective ban for successful deception of a match official.

I don’t think there’s time to ask, makes it look like you’re indecisive. Just make a judgement call, including a consideration of how bad a foul it was. It it’s even remotely naughty, I’d give the foul so everyone knows you’ve seen it.

Not a criticism of the officials because they only get one look and the expectation on hair pulls is clear, but I do think we're entering dangerous territory on it. This is not a violent act. I think there needs to be some clarification.

Once you get to level 4 and above you can see what clubs mark you and say about you. I've only had one sub 70 mark this season but it contained something written which factually did not happen as part of their justification. You just have to take it on the chin. In between typing this I've...

I did Estoril in 2019 (which somehow is different to Cascais despite us spending a large amount of time in Cascais... (possibly an excuse to have 2 in a year) Excellent experience for me... but will largely depend on what your CFA make it to be. Back in 2019, our CFA filmed all games and we...

Just subscribed and they're the same photos you already sent me privately :hmmm:

I found out because my wife checked the bank statement and realised my card has been cloned. For the past 4 years someone has been paying £200 a month in subscriptions! This is a joke. It's actually £250 a month.

Tbf Hackett would do well on OnlyFans given the fact he's an enormous c*ck

I think he means buying in to when defenders go down under minimal contact knowing it's easier to give them the foul than risk being the guy who didn't give the foul and the other team score. I haven't seen the game in question, so not making reference to that specific game, but some officials...

While I will caveat this by saying I haven’t seen the incident you’re referring to (Martinez)… I’m gonna assume there’s a very clear difference. Firstly, a little friendly slap is a strange concept, but it was not friendly (not many slaps are) Secondly, it’s a totally different part of law...

Understand what you’re saying but I’m referring to an accidental handball in a similar way, but not in law. Body not unnaturally bigger, not deliberate, just strikes the arm

I did ask my coach for clarification though and he told me that it was felt unfair that an arm denies a goal and thus this has been advised… All about as clear as mud… Perhaps this is a misinterpretation/ split within PGMO itself…

I’ve only just caught up with this, but ever since CORE camp 2024 I’ve been a little uncertain on this… surprised it’s took this long to come up. It seems there is a feeling among PGMO that, despite law not strictly clarifying it, since the law regarding accidental handball dogso was changed, an...

And IFAB have stated that any goalkeeper who carries the ball outside of his area cannot receive a sanction for SPA or DOGSO.

Insert what everyone else said here... (except @edcoach)

This is the only one of the many handball decisions this weekend I've actually seen, and I think I'm an outlier here, but I do think it's a penalty. I don't see how the way his arms flap out sideways (almost like a bird trying to fly) can be described as natural for the footballing action being...

Agree with the others. MOAS AR1 vs AR2 only really comes in to it on step 2 and above where there are 4th officials so it becomes rather irrelevant. I always put a specialist AR as senior if I have one, if not I put whichever referee I know best or has more experience, or if they're both on par...

As we know, they’re considerations, not requirements. Control or (crucially) likelihood of gaining control… for me, without the foul there is nobody anywhere else that’s gonna stop that player gaining control Direction… both the ball and the player likely to gain control of it are moving...

Not sure tbh... could have been for either, and either way the length ban was warranted as a result of not only the offence, but what happened after. I've just watched it back and he points in Kav's face shouting something at him, then as kav goes to reach for a card he shoves him in the arm...

The most recent one I remember was Mitrovic for Fulham vs Man Utd in the FA Cup (edit to add... I realise that's not technically in the EPL... but... you get the gist)
