Paris Vs Arsenal Ladies

[Big Cat]

I think it's OK to treat kicks from within the goal area differently. That said, they'll probably forget about this clarification by next season, or the season after, or the season after that. We'll see
At Step5/6/7, if someone appeals, I'll be giving it as it's incumbent upon me to do so at this time. If nobody notices, then nor did I
Rightly or wrongly, that's how I referee. I'm pretty much up to speed, not least cos of the forum and development evening attendance etc, but I typically choose the path of least resistance when I'm refereeing well and don't really care about last or next week's ref (or the observer these days). Ultimately, I care more about the 'winner on merit', than I do about making life difficult for myself

I agree with most of this and like you will react on the day dependant on appeals. I go to pre-season meetings every year and keep up with law changes/updates and I understand professional players are also briefed on these changes. This exact scenario was covered this pre-season so either the players involved in the clip weren’t listening to the brief or were just taking the p*ss and got caught out.
