How many people if pushed by a player on a Saturday / Sunday would go yellow card and how many would go red? I agree about the laws but let’s just apply some common sense here. I’m a teacher, if a student pushes another student and a student pushes a teacher the outcomes are, quite rightly...

If a player pushes me on a Saturday he is getting a red card, violent or not. Context is key of corse - this looked to me as a ‘get out the way I want to get on with it’ shove rather than a ‘let’s have a fight’ shove. Does that matter? I’m not so sure. As a caveat, I do think SB dealt with...

And could be a good excuse to put him as junior ..

Senior county local derby. Top of the table clash coming up, I have been appointed in the middle. I know that one of the neutrally appointed ARs is absolutely hated by both teams for reasons that I won’t go into. Is there any different way of approaching this game that you would do as a...

We al We all miss them. Had a comment from manager once ‘****ing ***’ relating a nationationality, clear racism. Opposition begging me to not make a deal of it and just gave a talking to to both managers. Played on my mind so much after that I should have sent him off (obviously I should...

This saddens me - youth players already using language like this - what a mess the game of football is. If they used this language at school they would receive a sanction. Context is key but all of these need pulling up and a strong public telling off at the very least. Last one is a RC and ER...

I have both a real and a ‘fake’ - it’s Not that easy to tell from the picture but it looks legit to me.

Is it me or everytime I seemed to switch on to watch an AFCON game it was kicking off.

Have you tried applying and officiating in different leagues? I have officiated in my Senior County League for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. It is one of the reasons (along with having two young children, one only a week old!) that I won’t go for promotion to Level 4. I would miss the...

That’s even saying he missed it. I bet if we had access to the comms someone would be saying it’s a potential offside and he has just forgot to flag as he knew VAR were checking it. My point being - difficult to speculate..

I had one today… keeper was fouled had ball in his hands. I said ‘play from your hands keeper’ he then drops the ball on floor for free kick and picks it up when he realises I meant carry on. Needless to say I didn’t give an indirect free kick against him 😂

This was an entirely odd situation because there was a mass con happening due to a tackle and then the goalkeeper decided to run from his goal to the dugout and assault his own manager for an unrelated incident - bizarre behaviour and definitely a red card now I think back to it 😂

That was what I was implying by suggesting this incident must go down as VC. The whole act was aggressive though including the language. But the language used was no worse than some others on seperate occasions.

The problem with OFFINABUS in this particular incident is that there was a mass con happening at the same time following a tackle and therefore a lot of the same language was being bounded around - not necessarily OFF but it could be argued that if one player goes for that language - 4 or 5...

It’s gone down as VC.
