    Notts Forest Vs Brighton

    From the highlights, I think it was a straight red. You can see him get the first yellow, and then he says to him "you're f****** bent" (or at least that's what it looks like), which is what the straight red was for. However the Anthony Taylor may have interpreted that, there is no doubt it's a...

    Correct Restart?

    Ok thank you - I thought I was correct in law on the day, but was told by a fellow official (someone who is much much more qualified that me) after the game that I was wrong so glad to clear that up. When I say nudge, it was one of those where the player was chasing down the ball, and keeper...

    Correct Restart?

    Have a quick question from my game a couple of weeks back. Keeper has the ball in his hands, gets a small nudge from an opposing player. He looks to me as he thinks he has been fouled, I tell him to carry on. He then shows dissent towards me. I stop the game, with the keeper still in his box...

    Coloured Refs Shirts

    Are coloured refs shirts allowed at Grass roots levels? I know black is the preference but just was wondering. I have looked online and can’t find a definitive answer. Does it depend on the CFA? (Apologies if there is already a thread on this btw)

    Badges

    My County FA (Berks and Bucks) asks for both to be displayed. Most counties will have what they want on their rules page on the website, but I would assume it would be very similar from county to county.

    ARS BOU some handballs

    Neither penalties IMO First One - whilst his arm is up, the ball hits the arm so high up - almost his shoulder. The T-shirt rule would apply. Second One - arm is fully tucked, doesn’t make himself larger - the definition of natural position, so no handball! (p.s. I am an Arsenal fan too -...

    Correct Restart after Cautioning Manager

    I had a game yesterday whereby a manager made a comment, whilst the ball was in play that I deemed to be worthy of a caution. I stopped the game, cautioned the coach and i then realised that I wasn’t sure of the correct restart? Any help on what it would be would greatly appreciated :)

    Regular caution - non playing only applies for coaches and such like

    Handball Question

    I am just a little confused about how the hand ball law is applied. Situation: Ball strikes a players knee and bounces onto their arm which is in a natural position for example next to their side (and doesn’t lead to a goal or anything like that) To my understanding this is not a hand ball...

    Junior/Youth Red/Yellow cards, what age do I start giving them?

    From my understanding the general consensus is situational. If an U13 uses offensive, insulting or abusive language towards you, then why would you not send them off? I tend to be more lenient in terms of tackles with younger age groups, but if I a tackle goes in which I would sanction with a...

    When the captain is the goalkeeper...

    Just had a quick question about how to manage the goalkeepers and captains combo. I often talk to the captain throughout the game, and if a player gets a bit heated, a quick conversation involving said player, the captain and myself can often calm the player down, preventing the need for...

    Manchester City v PSG

    I think that the Kimpembe challenge was an orange card and for the sake of the game he chose yellow. The commentators were right when they said the Fernandinho was clever, as he waits for the player to turn or slow before committing the foul so its harder to sell a SPA yellow. But I thought...

    Do any of you referee academy games ?

    I think that they are a doubled edged sword. Yes, they are a great place to start your refing journey as they are (typically) a safe environment to develop, but at the same time I think they set unrealistic expectations for referees just starting for example cards being discouraged and a lack of...

    Mass Con Approach

    I watched a video from the FA recently that was speaking about how to tackle mass confrontation. It spoke about sanctioning the instigator and retaliator, with the utmost priority and then dealing with other incidents depending on severity and at the same time making sure the sanctions given are...
