      Exactly. I'm sure historically there are decision where an AR has incorrectly decided a player is onside and kept the flag down, and...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Prayers up for Taiwo Awoniyi.
      I can't really think of any way it is possible to run any VAR system (current, challenge-based or other) that judges offside and doesn't...

      Or the AR makes an incorrect decision, allows play to continue and the player hits the post anyway. The real scandal here is actually...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Notts Co vs Wimbledon.
      Even if that is true and a reasonable thing to expect officials to be able to decide in that fraction of a second, it still doesn't...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Notts Co vs Wimbledon.
      As we've previously discussed, the moment when the whistle is physically blown is (inexplicably) what defines the decisions that can be...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Notts Co vs Wimbledon.
      I think even that is untrue to be honest. The incidents are close enough together that had the referee correctly seen it as a foul, he...

      If a player is standing in the wrong spot I will first indicate the correct place with my arm, and if that doesn't work I'll shout "it's...

      Agree that using the whistle too much can lose its effectiveness when needed. That said, when adopted early doors what you will find is...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Goal kicks.
      I'll admit to having performed a "drop ball" by gently rolling the ball back towards the keeper from 10-15 yards outside the area, in...

      Frustrating as it can be, we can't control the professional game, we can to some extent control the game we're refereeing. This isn't...
    • GraemeS
      That is exactly the basis. Referee "stops" player taking a throw from the wrong place, but they are already in motion and the ball...

      GraemeS replied to the thread Wolves v Leicester.
      Agree, this is absolutely the striker initiating the contact and should have been overturned.

      GraemeS reacted to RefereeX's post in the thread Arsenal v Brentford with Like Like.
      Stonewall caution for me. Exactly the type of challenge you want for a second yellow to leave nobody in doubt, but SFP would be a stretch.
