    It isn't ideal, but how often does a keeper go forward for a set piece? One in a hundred games, probably less, and certainly less in...

    Yeah, you could be right, he might have had VAR and AVAR appointments in the Conference League.

    Some CFAs work with Referee Abroad to provide opportunities for their referees.

    That's a strange argument as it was Matt Donohue who recommended the review, and unless I've missed something obvious he isn't a FIFA...

    Very different incidents. Szoboszlai got a huge grab on Haaland and completely impacted his momentum. Tripper grabbed Lewis-Potter's...

    Still seems to be a bit tight expecting you to survive 5 days refereeing on hand luggage. Also surprised it’s your CFA organising as I...

    Or even worse a stuck zip and a referee looking like he’s desperately scratching his derrière.
