    I don't think the DOGSO change will make a huge amount of difference as how often is advantage currently played on a DOGSO challenge...

    I've put refereeing related things on my Facebook feed, like check ins at venues, plum appointments, but have always been very careful...

    Not at that level, it is sorted out well before anyone gets to the ground. If the authorities have OK'd the kits the match officials...

    RustyRef replied to the thread England v Uruguay.

    That’s where the challenge started, but a lot happened after that. Thank goodness City won or I dread to think what the meltdown from...

    RustyRef replied to the thread How lenient are you with OFFINABUS.
    Generally speaking I would say OFFINABUS is always going to generate debate and there won’t be consistency. When I first started 30...
