We have spoken about players having their hands in a natural position if somebody is going to kick the ball at them from close range. Going away from goal a factor too, why would you make your body bigger? Thoughts? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/cw62ylp68m4po

I would like them to drop the scores and just call a decision subjective, when it is a 50/50 (e.g. 2:3/3:2). Must be so frustrating being a Referee or VAR when your decision is classified an error when your interpretation with one look/review is subjective & 50% of analysts agree with you...

I’m glad its working below pro level. We have discussed before but the boards are not fit for purpose with multiple subs. Last night at Bournemouth v AC Milan the sub goalie on for the sent off GK was sent on without a player coming off, had to come all the way back from his goal to the half...

I can’t see how a substitution can be completed in 10 seconds, communication to the player takes at least this. In the pro game, the messing about with the board exceeds 30 seconds.

Clear goal, I suspect the referee was caught unaware, maybe looking at his watch?

I don’t see that as a penalty, defender reaches for the ball and plays the ball, its not reckless, so play on for me.

I am, he drops his cards as he is so frantic, & he touches the player first, he moves forward in to his personal space. IMHO.

It’s not 1st April! Electronic cardbwhich can be changed by referee to Yellow or Red, & automatically records & sends disciplinary action to the powers that be. You won’t be able to not submit your cards. 🤣...

From 2:40 IMO confirms how badly the referee issued a delaying the restart YC, causing all the problems.

Interesting this, where does everyone sit, clear & obvious for VAR? Then appealed, panel have agreed an error so no one match ban. Could have been worse, Brighton could have scored after the offence & play being stopped by VAR intervention, which would have chalked goal off. The resultant...

I thought Attwell was excellent, spot on, a push will always be AA, a head contact with forward momentum red. I think football world expects that. Bentacur was understandably peeved so push him back & get a yellow too, head contact was only going to result in red.

I was thinking the same, incorrect in law? Any coaches on here on positioning? Stay away from the D. She is clearly fit and has no trouble getting around the pitch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cmde000z89x5t

Right results last night, same result in the replayed match. & a record crowd of over 800, so a financial windfall too!

Welcome. Regarding, countdown for GKs, throw ins, goal kicks, I use them as a tool if the team is deliberately wasting time, usually in last 15 mins when a team is winning. Vets football, low level grass roots and kids football IMO, most of the time the players need a breather or to reset, the...

The referee has been suspended indefinitely.
