... what do we all think of this one? It has been used in FA training videos so chances are L4s and above will have seen it, but what do you think? What did the officials do well, what did they do badly, etc?
They wouldn't, because at best, they might get to be an assistant on this kind of game!I wonder how our new refs with the world in front of them, 20 easy games, good assessments, promotions pending would cope with one of these!
They might though, a young buck may go straight to OA and be dumped in Div 4 of the Dog & Duck League, who knows. That tackle can happen at any level but especially Sunday League. No assistants generally there, you’re right in the mire! (Speaking from long experiences here). I’ve had similar and far far worse!!!! I’m talking thinking someone was deceased! This is tough for any of us!They wouldn't, because at best, they might get to be an assistant on this kind of game!
What was the outcome ?
Was there a red for the original challenge ?
As Nij says above the near assistant got involved a bit too much, he was almost man handling some of the players.
hard to see in the initial melee, potentially for grabbing a match official, however then the camera cuts to the left and he's out of the picture for a bit.Hard to see any VC from B&W no.2
Could see him getting off on appeal unless the offence was OFFINABUS
Good to see them playing football on traditional pitch conditions for a change
Refs constant whistle blowing smacks of desperation.
Advice I got from my 5-4 seminar was blow the whistle once or twice, but if it's not having an impact by that point, then you are pretty much wasting your time.
