Interesting incident from Finland that shows a complete lack of team work and awarness by the match officials. Ball goes out for a throw and the team takes a quick throw while another throw is taken at the correct place. Incorrect throw then leads to a goal...

Drugs Im not sure FIFA are looking at recreational drugs here but performance enhacnging drugs are more of a risk. If you think of the pressure that some of the top flight Referee's are under to be fit and up with play it wouldnt suprise me if we found that one used something to help his...

Two thoughts on this - ill do two comments Intoxication Had an experince a few years ago now on a supply league. I had an issue where I could smell alchol on of my assistants breath. Spoke to the other assistant on the quiet and he had the same thought. However he appeared sober and it may...

I have a feeling that this kit had a four year life but could be wrong so would be up I think this year

To be honest it probably hurt more than you think, we all know what nasty paper cuts can be like http://www.the-referee.com/therefereeblog/2012/2/17/assistant-referee-hit-by-missile-thrown-by-fans-belgium-leag.html Still doesnt excuse the fans!

Just spotted this while doing a search on youtube. Interesing idea but not really sure its that practical http://www.the-referee.com/therefereeblog/2012/2/17/spintso-referees-pda-and-watch.html

Think the question should be, can the goalkeeper wear the same coloured shirt as the Referee. After al the Referee has the power to ask him to change. It maybe in the Premier League that there isnt a practical change but honestly I think that sort of stuff should be sorted at the start of the...

I thought that. If its touched someone between the drop ball and entering the goal then my understanding is goal. If they score straight from the Drop Ball then corner/goal kick. Then again in 19 years still yet to experience one

FIFA have released the Agenda for 126th International Board meeting to take place in March. There are a few interesting points on the agenda, however Im not sure how many of these will be approved. One of the main things is a fourth sub maybe used duirng extra time. An interesting idea...

Correct thing to do. I wonder if there was a pre game discussion.

Been playing FIFA12 on the Ipod and loving it. However the demo for FM2012 came out last night and thats going to be played a lot over the coming weeks

I was at a new ref's course on Sunday and we had a chat about this. The feedback we gave to the new ref's was the angle he had, ideally would be side on.

On a recent new ref course I got asked this. My tip relax. I've been a referee for a good while. I am still yet to find a goal keeper but a ball on his own net at a goal kick. Still yet to have a goalkeeper add markings on a pitch or any of the odd things in law. Relax and if anything...

Got to be honest I tend to go for the thumb check. Do have a gauge though which I sometimes but tend to find I end up letting the air out!

Very very sad

This will be in the blog feed below so appologies for the duplication, however felt it was worth putting here as well. This happened yesterday to me and ive blogged about. "All the way through your career as Referee, people will tell you to get your admin right. Let me give you a great...
