    lol The importance of a missing comma on my part!

    Wolves vs Arsenal

    I thought introduction of VAR would be a good thing, on hindsight it has caused more issues than it solves, I would rather we went back to to ref only and you accept we are human and we make the best intended decision on the one time view we get. I don't have an issue with a panel overturning...

    Wolves vs Arsenal

    All these things can be true: - MO understandable red card as he deems it serious foul play from his angle - VAR did not see enough to overturn with the protocols they have to work to - FA correctly overturns it under closer inspection

    Wolves vs Arsenal

    The PGMOL released a statement that does say this!! Not saying you are wrong in what VAR is supposed to do, but you can see why people get confused with statements like this coming out. “The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge...

    Pal v Eve

    Counting back over thread more people thought red than yellow/foul so interested to know where you get ‘most were saying’ from?

    Pal v Eve

    Well red card has been overturned, I genuinely have no idea what we are supposed to do now when a player has been endangered! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67922687

    Pal v Eve

    LOTG quite clear on this, surprised to see people arguing that contact was slight, that doesn’t lower the danger of the action Calvert-Lewin made. “Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with...

    Turkish Referee Halil Umet Meler punched by club president

    So Koca with a lifetime ban (and ongoing criminal charges) but all the club received was a £54,000 fine and 5 home games without fans. Pathetic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67723180

    Newcastle Vs Arsenal

    Lifelong arsenal fan and avoid posting on my teams games, but on this occasion for the goal: - It was not a legitimate goal. - There was not a *clear and obvious* error that VAR was able to correct. Both can be true.

    Sock-Gate

    After latest hole in my adidas, just went for some plain black mitres from amazon at £6 (no branding/logo so don’t look at odds with nike/adidas/macron tops). Decent quality and ‘senior’ sizing good for me (10.5 uk)

    Refsix - is it worth it?

    I use the free version, worth every penny! Really like using refsix for the cards, have input custom offence codes for the 17 yellow and 6 red codes we have to use for our leagues, makes match reports so much easier. Also alerts you if you have given a second yellow to same player which is a...

    Technical area boundary when not marked

    With greater direction to clamp down on technical area infringements, what do you do if there is not technical area marked (95% of my games)? Not possible to sanction or we imagine a standard box?

    New IFAB website for Football Rules (sic)

    Those that play golf will be familiar with this approach, R&A have the traditional “Official Rules of Golf” which lists them numerically but now a “Players Rule Finder” which puts the rules in a more user friendly format based around scenarios. They are cross referenced between each other and...
