Chas makes a good point above. Last night with the Fulham handball. I'm seeing everyone complain. While I think it should stand in a footballing sense. In law it cannot and the correct decision was made. I feel bad for both Fulham and the officials but I think here they did the correct thing...

Firstly sorry if this isn't in the right place or not allowed. Feel free to lock / delete if so. During lockdown I've had more time to watch and discuss football with people. Be it friends, family, social media etc. One thing that has stuck out to me is the complete lack of knowledge for the...

Thanks for explaining.

Can you explain how it's a goal kick and not a drop ball to the GK. I can't find anything in the LOTG. Surely because possession of the ball has changed & it's inside the penalty area it's a drop ball to the GK?

Black undershorts 👀

Thanks for your input. Very helpful.

Thanks for your input. The pitch is a good 5-10 minutes away from the car park so I was hoping to carry it out early to give them time to alter any equipment. Hopefully no issues though.

Hi all, I've got an observation tomorrow and I know about the undershirt / tape thing in law but I have some questions that I'm hoping someone higher up on the ladder might be able to help with. How strict is the tape likely to be assessed? For example if a team is wearing dark blue socks I...

From law 12.3

I've just watched match of the day from last week and both pundits said it shouldn't have been a red for Bisouma's challenge on Lewis. This genuinely worries me as all this does is give viewers who aren't referees (players included) false information about the laws of the game, which isn't new...

Am I the only one that thought West Ham should've had a penalty for the Gabriel handball?

Saw this on the app and just to make sure I'm picturing this correctly. Am I correct that the offside "line" so to speak is drawn wherever the player off the field of play is?

Thanks.

Mainly injuries but now you mention equipment both.

Hi guys, I'm a little confused about this and am looking for some clarification. Under what circumstances does a player have to leave the field of play and be waved back on by the referee and under what circumstances can he simply get up and remain, without the need to go off. Thanks.

You may know better than me being a higher level and an observer but to me it doesnt matter how likely it is. If it's on the pitch it can result in injury. That in my opinion is the only factor that matters.

From law 5: "Such decisions may include a decision: that the condition of the field of play or its surrounds or that the weather conditions are such as to allow or not to allow a match to take place" I would not be very confident allowing the game to go ahead for safety reasons. Also from law...

Red card and indirect free kick.

I was advised by my RDO to never blow when it's a miskick or headed onto their own arm unless it's an attacking player.

Without seeing the incident and reading what you've described it was the right decision. Well done.
