Don't let it bother you, some coaches, players and supporters appear to get off on being dic#s. I had an u17 player threaten me at full time whistle before Xmas and I've found out he's received a 180 day ban. Morale of the story, always put EA reports in.

There's no way that Haaland would have been cautioned has he was already on a yellow for removing his shirt after converting the penalty.

The local FA and RDO are in the same office. The RDO rarely gets involved in anything, he's like an enigma that's impossible to get in touch with. He usually gets an assistant to keep on top of things. They are aware as I complained to one of them when I refereed a local disability tournament on...

I had been feeling similar to the OP up until a couple of weeks ago. Basically I went through a phase of a around a month of every game being hard work and sending off at least 1 player in those games. Most of the sending off were at full time whistle, the final one coming from am U17 player and...

If he's giving the double deflection as handball then what about the handball at the other end of the pitch after a Newcastle long throw to Burn?

Totally agree regarding the MacAllister/Onana incident. After Onana wasn't sent off I thought it was a nailed on penalty.

Cards at the ready and any dissent an early sin bin usually does the trick.

I had a charming individual call me a "c@nt" 3 times in a minute at full time yesterday he also threatened to "do me in" which was laughable but added to the EA report. My son had to tell a parent to pipe down during an u11 match too. Dissent and abuse is definitely getting worse, in the last...

While I agree with above isn't the team taking the freekick supposed to have a slight advantage when infact its the defending team (Liverpool) who are able to get men behind the ball.

Technically yes lol. He was more annoyed at the CAR who kept shouting "well done ref". Attacking team were 6-1 down at the time

I had this very same scenario on Sunday. I was in the middle striker went through, CAR flag up me in agreement and whistle. Attacking team coach going mental and then gets his phone out to check LOTG then starts shouting it was 2nd faze. I had to go over to the bench to calm him down and explain.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I actually counted out loud while I was watching the match lat night.

Not sure which toon fans you're referring to but myself (a toon fan) and all my mates agree it was a red card.

I wish we the audience could hear the comms because I don't trust the commentators to decipher and accurately tell us what's actually going on. Efan Eloku and Danny Murphy are especially terrible at it.

My RDO said to write it verbatim in all reports

For children's football, up until about U10, they don't understand the rules. All I do if any incident occurs like you witnessed is to simply blow my whistle then go over to the players having the tussle, kneel down to them and calmly just state who's ball it is and why. You'll normally get a...

I have noticed kit clashes more this season more than any other. Teams and officials wearing similar colour shorts and socks.

Have you ever played football? I imagine you have and should understand that Joelintons arms are in a a completely natural position and in no way did he make his body bigger. I'm calling it a bit of karma for the PSG penalty last year.

Not sure how to use quotations to answer. Fair enough not using "off you go son", I said it because the player is the same age as my son. I acknowledged just before kick off when the manager stated that she had 2 players with autism , 2 with AHHD and 1 with tourettes. I said I'll keep an eye on...

A very similar thing happened to me. I cautioned a player for persistent fouling and as I'm showing him the yellow he starts walking away applauding me, yellow back up in the air followed by red and me saying "off you go son". Manager shouts as he's walking off "he's autistic", I just shrugged...
