yes I understand the practicality of the law more now it was more the inconsistent application & practical match advice still isnt going to stop a coach yelling "injury ref" because someones sock fell down.. if the ball isn't going out or the lads arent putting it out and for all intensive...

you peaked my interest for a second.. cruel xD

Hi all, I've just received this email with snippets of an email from the FA regarding the 10 second substitution protocol and U18 players.. so according to the FA due to safeguarding, the 10 seconds wont apply to U18 players.. Not sure how you would enforce this in a game where some players are...

But if they do require treatment then yes they go off, that's correct isnt it all the case scenarios I had during pre-season were stoppages. The step4/7 game i did on friday the player went off when the physio came on for assessment. out of curiousity is there specific wording you use to the...

I was asked a question today and actually wasnt sure - my scenario for this question was about stopping play. If I blow for a foul and the player DOESNT want treatment following said foul - does he still go off for a minute? I've read the assessment protocol and it only references a player is...

anything so it's usable, this looks decent - doesnt fall off during the game?? the "screws" on mine do literally nothing as i know its the metal bar that holds the strap on, how does this hold up in comparison?

I didnt find the battery replacement too difficult to be honest, i'd read online it was hard but it wasn't too fiddly?. This is my second spintso, i can always go back to the smaller one its just a bit too small

Negative I tried this and they told me they dont make spares anymore :'(

i hope something is communicated, it was just awkward as a L6 working with much higher referees - i had a academy game with a L3 and having to try tell him he was wrong in law pre-game was a tad awkward. I suspect it will get worse come the start of the season for me at least next weekend where...

so this happened the other week, i love this watch it may be a bit old fashioned but for me it looks the part and helps with the stoppages. I had the smaller one the 2S that bips, whereas this one vibrates (easier for me) and not having players asking "whats that beeping". Just wondered if...

clear now to me but not the countless within my own county only doing it for those receiving treament

Hi all - I have just seen thanks to the power of social media a known banned player, playing a friendly. I have posted on here and was unfortunately assaulted by this player in November. He was then given a 1-year total ban effective from December 12th. So he should not be playing in any...

So had a game Friday night with my RAO in the middle again who was adamant it is only for players receiving treatment..... As advised on here I checked with my RDO who confirmed it's all stoppages in play barring the exceptions, as did IFAB although not sure it's as a "clear" as they've stated...

I mean it's not easy to keep count of everything (without going into all the possibilities) but something needed to be done about the timewasting and "fake" injuries to slow the game down. Just annoying this goalkeeper trial announced by ProRef only covers the professional game for now.

Thanks, i'll get there one day.. 🤯
