    Handball mess and what happens next?

    Had handball preseason training with about 90 colleagues. Senior FA bod took us through UEFA training and close to 40 clips. We had the training and then voted on each clip, offence/no offence. Downhill from here I’m afraid. Real eye opener for me. There were many clips with 20-50% differing...

    Liv City - Klopp and Pep for maybe the last time

    I'm gonna get in early. And I'm gonna miss the match as I have a match to whistle and a video review that will go to midnight. Here's hoping for a good show from the 3rd team all round!

    Blue cards ditched after widespread mockery

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/mar/01/ifab-under-pressure-to-accelerate-protective-measures-against-concussion Does seem like Ifab messed up here. Didn’t consult stakeholders, lack of research, poor PR. Minimum interference maximum benefit remember!

    Apply for your training, coaching, academies!

    Futsal but I’ll tell anyway… I’ve had a load of assessments in the last couple of months as I’m in an academy group. As well as getting video reviews, I attended more, plus extra online classroom sessions with lots more clips and analysis. It’s been great, learnt loads, great group and it’s...

    LIV LUT

    Bit too much interference at times from Madely. Seemed a bit nervous. Also gave a few cheap fouls (Diaz and Gakpo conned him a bit) but it was an easy game. Talking point for me was the Luton goal. I’m convinced it was offside in the build up but can’t find a clip.

    Thrown in goal scenario

    Great incident from my mentor group this weekend. Attacking throw in, thrown towards opponent’s goal. Only GK between thrower and goal. GK deliberately handles outside the box. But we are interested in 3 possible refereeing scenarios and your logic, sanctions, re-start etc: 1) You whistle and...

    Player power

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/11/male-footballers-concerned-for-safety-amid-violent-and-abusive-fan-culture Highlights how strong the players’ representation is… and, in turn, highlights how weak referees’ representation is. Having a proper union, and reports like this, will...

    LIV ARS

    Surely it’s biggering and hand to ball in the box. To me Odegard has deliberately handled to stop the opponent getting the ball goal side of him. I know he was off balance but I think football expects a penalty here - and no question in international/European comps…

    PAR NEW

    VAR is so rubbish. I tuned in for injury time, just in time to see another match ruined. "It makes a mockery..." of the whole sport. (No way I'm paying to watch this rubbish!)

    HJK - Franfurt emerging story

    So, friends were at this and there is a crazy incident. The referee disallowed a goal but seems for no reason. The referee has since claimed his whistle was broken. It is crazy fishy and the stories are popping up. Looking for footage…

    Futsal 2023

    I’m in deep. I studied two matches today. And I’ve had two cable-TV matches that went well. DOGSO is complicated but just understandable. SPA seems almost impossible to give now. In the law book there’s nothing to explain “promising attack”. So what is the latest guidance?

    Beckham red

    Have you seen the show? No spoilers but there’s a big incident at France 98!!! So, was it a red card offence? Kim Nielson’s card technique was incredibly dramatic (surprising) - was this trained as part of the “show” at this level, what can we learn?

    Are referees adequately represented?

    The VAR show has brought out some very strong criticisms of referees on TV. There is a lot “it’s all about them”-type accusations, questioning of competence of on field officials and e.g. Webb (that I think is baseless). And it’s vitriolic. And we know it’s threatening and we know personal...

    Can you still develop (after 5 years)?

    Bear with me… I started late (really late, 39) and in 2018 I blew a promotion chance - got nervous on video, lost a match in front of the wrong people at the worst time. I was lucky enough to get to referee through Covid, and even though I “recovered” from the disappointment, it was a knock. I...

    Top vs bottom

    Had a beginner AR2 tonight. With one good eye. Bless him he called a few offsides but he gave away that he couldn't really see players' numbers... I fear his career could be shortlived. Home was 4-3 up and went 5-3 up in the 82nd minute. Away, close to the bottom of the league, were not done...

    Too many players - YC for coach?

    Away are down to ten after an early DOGSO-R. AR1 is enthusiastic but, let’s say a bit “creative”. Decisions have been going well. Communication between me and the ARs fine… until… (And it’s flying/return subs… play does not have to be stopped… typically we are pretty forgiving - not pernicious...

    Deliberate play - offside bonanza

    I ran the line for a bottom of the table clash between two side born offside. Great ref, comms, lots of wait and see, well into double figures for offside offences, including disallowing the equalizer 😟 We are in the middle of the season already and maybe these deliberate play observations are...
