No foul for me as he goes to kick the ball, knows that he missed it and pulls out of the challenge

There were a number of incidents in this match, there was a sending off. Now as a Vale fan I can understand Blackpool fan not being happy, but in the modern game its a red. The issue for me was the manager of Blackpool Ian Evatt, basically at the end of the match he clearly told his players not...

Disagree, you can under stand something and not agree with it.

Its part of the game at that level, people pay their money and voice their opinion. I am a fan of football as well as a ref, and sometimes things get to you. I have seen at matches when AR have got a number of key decisions wrong. Fans will get upset and shout things, but lets be honest 99% of...

Learn to not take it too personal. Often you can have a decent game and managers will say that you were crap etc. Football is often about opinions. I watch my local team and will see things in my way as I am a fan of them, will complain about ref decisions, but later when at home, will know that...

Its the issue though, the rules are the rules. There is too much of this in the game when it comes to children. The lad has to learn from it, if he thinks he will get away with it, you know what will happen next time.

I have been to a number of matches as a fan, and it seems recently (last two seasons) there is less and less involvement from the assistants. They seem to be getting more and more like club liners every season. Not sure why

Just has to say he got it wrong, the red get recinded and thats the end to it for me. There has to be an admission of mistake, this will then restore faith.

Why do the FA not produce an app. It would make it easier to report what happened straight after the match, if they linked it like REFSIX to your watch a lot could be done at the time. It just seems daft that they are still on a slow and clumpy website.

He would also have affected the keeper as well. I would have said that he gained an advantage by being in the position. Would Shawcross have committed to the attempt, had the other player not been right behind him ?

What was he circumventing exactly ?

The keeper did not pick it up, so what did he do wrong. Had he picked it up I would have understood

While I agree with the ban and fine in this incident. I do think that they protect the refs a little to much in the sense that Managers can not complain if they think the ref has had a bad game. Insulting them I agree should be stopped, but saying that they think that the ref has been bad...

I have felt that we are getting to the stage where contact will no longer be in the game. Players now go flying, even if they are slightly touched as we as Ref's keep giving them. I was an assistant to a match today and the pitch became a mud pit, but the players did not do anything dangerous...

Sounds like you got it spot on.

If you intend the take the ball and do just that, does that not mean that when you started the tackle you were in control as you did as you intended ?

All tackles come off the ground, unless its a standing tackle so are all tackles out of control ?

I thought that both decisions were wrong. However the Vardy tackle did look in real time bad, but watching it slow mo he took the ball and did not connect with both feet. Had he been out of control as some have said then he would have connected with both feet. The hand ball, no intent as he was...

If I was at the level this ref was and one person gave me abuse that was not a player or part of the management. They you would be welcome too. I am sure like most refs, I would carry on.

Both doing the same thing for me. The problem with the modern game is that both push and shove, but the attacking player always goes down like they have been shot.
