Yes, that was another one that I was a bit surprised with. Maybe because he brought it back down quickly, and the referee knew it would be a second yellow, he turned a blind eye..

Ah, of course, why didn't I think of checking The World Game smh I agree with you though. It was one of those goals where when I saw the VAR Check come up during the replays, I was wondering what for, but as soon as they showed the footage from behind the goal, I knew exactly what was up. It's...

I'm looking for video footage online to post for those who aren't watching, but starting to be a bit of controversy over a goal disallowed by VAR, applying this law in bold: Offside offence A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only...

My association has basically said don't stop players from doing it if they want to do it, but for match officials, to advise against it as they don't want a situation that apparently happened in Melbourne where the referee forced all players to do it

Yes, we are in the same boat here in Canberra. Re-started this weekend after a few weeks of trial matches being allowed in Queanbeyan (over the state border back into NSW for those who aren't familiar with convict state boundaries) Change rooms at the ground I was this weekend were being used...

Didn't want to make a new thread, so thought I would attach to this one, but had my first official game(s) this weekend, doing AR in my citie's 4th tier (and reserve grade as well). Had a lot of fun, and only a few issues I had with myself, that the referee brought up with me as well: 1) Was a...

My new kits are kind of both. Decal badge, but embroidered around the edge

Happened to a guy in Australia back in 2005/06. He couldn't get the ring off, so they put him on the bench, and then they still couldn't get it off, so he got it cut off the next day and resized. Club was sponsored by an insurance company, so the back page advertisement of Soccer Australia...

I kind of get both points. But, in reading what the new LOTG say, I would wait for that next touch/see where it lands. If the player takes a shot immediately, and misses, I think I would still blow for handball, because then you're kind of saying that you're allowed to do it, and lets say in...

Yes, I only officially did my course a few weeks ago, and then my association ran a seminar on the handball changes. Was basically taught 'any attacking handball' is a handball and blow the whistle straight away so you don't have any issues disallowing the goal.

I'm lucky that I'd be as rusty as I would've been at the start of the season anyways

Carfeul with the post?

Finally registered, our season starts here July 18, and have my practical assessment on July 12. Just waiting for my uniform to come in the post

I think the practical part here is more a check to see if they think we are good enough to go straight to our Level 3 (senior community football) or not

Congrats mate. Sort of in the same boat as you, but 28 in Australia. Was supposed to have my Level 4 (to do junior full field games) course in March, but finally got it done last week. Just waiting for my gear to come in the post, and we still have to do our practical part when games go back...

I don't mind Legea actually. Have a LS playing shirt from Italy that I really like the material in, except for the collar because its like a turtleneck with bad material, but I can see the collars on our referee shirts seem to be more open and very different, so that's something I'm considering...

New kit got released for my association this year with Legea. I think I'm going to go nuts with the longsleeve ones since it gets bloody freezing here (For Aus)

I'm harking back to my playing days as a teenager here, and will probably ramble on a lot, but I was really unfit when it came to running, luckily up until U17 in my local comps, it was unlimited interchanges, so since I was 1 of 2 fat kids to play on the wing, made it easy to just swap...

I probably would have been doing Junior League here (somewhere U13-18), but am only finally doing my L4s this week

ah sorry, tried to do a search
