    Common sense?

    Since when do you have to caution a player for a deliberate handling of the ball in the penalty area?

    Struggle to sleep after games

    No it isn't. Tomorrow, I have to referee a secondary school girl's match; on the weekend I have to referee a University women's match; in two weeks, I'll be refereeing in a national championship competition. Clearly some are more important than the others.

    "He was going away from goal ref"

    All of it.

    Players standing in front of ALL free kicks

    Why wait for the same individual to do it? If it's more than one person on a team, surely it's a tactic they've talked about and deserving of a caution just then.

    Leic. C v Man U - Rafael penalty

    Ade looked really poor yesterday. So did Vlad. I'd say the only bright spots were Lamela and Eriksen for us.

    I'm not guessing what you did; you told us what you said.

    Struggle to sleep after games

    I was, of course, only half kidding about running when you wake up.

    Ball to hand

    It it's a handball when the striker is through in on goal, then it's a handball when the left back does it in his penalty area. If not, then neither are handballs.

    Black Kit and dissent

    Because of what you said that you said. "I informed captains before game that black kit shouldn't happen and because of clash I won't be able to call every throw or goal/corner kick spot on because its impossible." That's a silly thing to say: you can either do your job, or you can't and if you...
