the penalty wasn't correct! What are you watching?? His hands are down, the ball is blasted at him and to make matters worse he's given him a second yellow FFS. And then is that a straight red for the tackle? A dead cert yellow, but never a red 3 minutes on this -

I had a game last weekend where a sliced clearance ricocheted off me, dropped to the feet of a midfielder who promptly booted it straight in. Wasn't very popular after that...

The Willian 'HB' wasn't HB... It wasn't deliberate, it wasn't HB. The cautions were poor

The two yellows and the yellow/red both for dissent? That's rare!

Reckless. Ball is running away from the player, not direct at goal, not OGSO. Yellow

I'm will send from my personal email, but am simply using this to collate

There have been too many of these, and as a victim twice (to varying degrees) I'm getting fed up. What I'm asking is that, if you have been assaulted in the last three years, you drop me a PM with as much detail as you can of the incident and the length of ban if possible (or an email if you'd...

I'd like to collate these incidents. There are far too many, and far too many resulting in too short a bans. In fact... new thread time.

Dodn't you hear? He was rescuing a wounded deer. Positive: Positioning and flow throughout Negative: There were stints either side of half time where my fitness lagged a tad.

Club linos aren't expected to know the new offside rules. They are only meant to be used at step 5 and above (with neutral assts)

Back down in park footballl this Saturday(occasionally nice to get back). Easy, easy game - one team won 10-0. Team that are losing are eight down with 10 minutes to play and are attacking. I look back as the ball goes out for a GK to see the losing team's keeper having a crafty pint while...

A horrible situation to put into, but yes - like being called a cheat, your integrity is being questioned and he has to go.

So what about the game? Does the manner in which the player says it, the why and wherefore, not affect the colour of the card? If a player is frustrated at s decision and snap-turns with an 'oh fck off', that's a chat to me. A player in the game I was assistant on today said to me 'do your job...

I've had 2 broken legs in matches I've refereed. Neither was a cautionable tackle. One wasn't even a foul. It's unlucky, his studs caught, or there was already a hairline - there was nothing wrong with the challenge.

He's blocking the ball by diving in front of its path. The trailing leg is secondary, and neither careless, reckless nor with excessive force. We wouldn't even be talking about this as a foul were it not for the result, let alone whether it were a red card

Oh they are! I just went to the wrong pocket!

I don't think there's much in it if I'm 100% honest. Yes, the result is horrific, but the tackle, to me, is clean.

That last one is blatant simulation. Higher league refs are taught about the arms - that isn't a natural way to fall.

Nope, dissent, a foul which was borderline yellow, followed by a clear tactical. The level doesn't affect. My level of dissent here is that the way it was said was not worthy of a red... Particularly with match temperature at this point (20 mins in) and the fact that I had told him to 'shut...

That's utter ********. If I'm a neutral assistant, I want a card and you don't give it unless you have a damn good reason for it (almost certainly you have a better view of a foul) I'm going to be having some words in the changing room. When it comes to dissent, 'your tolerance level, lads.' If...
