    Clattenburg - Gladiators

    Noticed the Mark Clattenburg appears to be a referee for the Gladiators TV Series restarting around the BBC. Thoughts anyone? Mine are, I get that elite refs need careers and money post active refereeing, but I also feel like such "celebrity" roles like this do nothing for referee imagery...

    Inaugural Meeting of the UEFA Board

    I said in another thread handball needed a rethink... This wasn't what I had in mind. Lots of very experienced football people on this board and I can't see any coherent improvement being suggested. Just further complication. 🤦

    The whistle is needed to restart play for

    Following an injury, should the whistle be used indicate play restarting, if the restart is a dropped ball? Law (practical guidelines) says that the whistle IS needed to restart play following an injury. But it is NOT needed for most free kicks, and a goal kick, corner kick, throw-in or...

    TH V CHE

    Interesting incident just happened in this game. Mass confrontation, Ziyech pushes Emerson Royal in the face. Ref gives 2 yellow cards, 1 havertz and on Emerson Royal. There is a long pause after which Ziyech is shown a red. And almost immediately Attwell is sent to the screen as a clear and...

    Law 3.8 Player Outside the field of play

    Semi related to a scenario I had in my game at the weekend: Law 3.8 basically says that if a player who needs the referees permission to re-enter does so without it then the referee stops play, but not immediately if there is interference or advantage applied. It then goes on to offer a...
