So the BBC mentioned that the assistants in the Liverpool-LASK Europa league games are twins and it got me wondering if twins have been assigned the same game before? Or even siblings? Google wasn’t very helpful for me on the twins part.

Appreciate all the words and advice. Ironically the first game back I did was one of the best I’ve ever done so I think it annoys me more that I know I didn’t live up to my own standards. Have to admit, sat here over 24 hours later, im dying to get back out there this weekend and not be so...

Had my second game back after a couple of years out today. It just went wrong from start to finish, started off with inspecting the wrong pitch (pitch numbers have changed and the council haven't updated their website apparently) and the game just went horribly, missed a potential foul by being...

The handball shout:

Scrolling through Twitter, I’ve come across this which could be very interesting if found to be true. Comments are very negative towards the idea and it seems like relationships between fans and referees couldn’t be much worse at the moment.

I think Moss made a great call on the caution for Vardy but i think he made a mistake with the first one, the West ham player tripped over him imo however Vardy could have been cautioned for an earlier one. Also If Moss is giving a penalty for the Morgan foul he has to give the one on Huth (who...

4, gave 3 to the home team one to the away, one trip from a defender a DOGSO-F from the keeper and a DOGSO-H from a defender for the home side and a handball from a corner for the away, also ended up with 3-1 in red cards to the away side. Curiously the away manager was the happier of the two...

Agree on the red, though Novak's foot was a bit high before then penalty?

Thoughts on the red and penalty? Not great views on either but the best i could find, both seem to be causing a lot of debate between fans Red: People say 50/50 but out of control and dangerous surely? Penalty: Definitely a foul but was his foot high before he was brought down?

Worst thing is I've had the local team a few times this season and never once had an issue with them, I didn't even recognize the voice as someone from that team so it must have been someone from a different team (we only have 1 team in the village where i live) or a supporter

Thank you all. The police have been out to me but the area it happened had no CCTV coverage so unless anyone comes forward to say they saw it's unlikely anything will happen. The league responded quickly and has called an emergency team secretary meeting about it, so hopefully this helps keep...

Hi all, It's with great regret I've had to finish refereeing for now, however i no longer feel safe off the pitch. Just this evening i was grabbed from behind while someone shouted abuse at me for being that 's**t referee.' Whilst i didn't see who it was i don't think it's fair that i be...

They were both kicked out of the ground in frustration so quite the distance, and I'm part of Chesterfields RA but it's no very active like most things here. Thanks everyone for the kind words, i don't want to give in after the first sign of trouble. I think i may email my RA and ask about a...

I'll let him off with a bad view ;) worst thing is that would have made it 3-0 instead we lost 3-2 after being 2-0 up in the 81st minute Touché, not the exact same foul then but the same style ;)
