Having made my first trip down to St Mary's at the weekend and watched VAR-free football in person for the first time in a while, it's joyful. I think the only purpose VAR is serving now is giving us Sunday referees something to coalesce with coaches and players around!

We have Fast Track in racing and it saves a lot of time and effort for what will likely be the same result.

Her obviously met me before and I just didn’t recognise him!

Tbf, having looked at the table of Fast Track penalties, it’ll be 3 games for OFFINABUS towards an official.

After initially contested the charge, an aborted hearing, and one day before the rearranged hearing, yes.

Never posted this incident at the time as I'd filed an EA and was awaiting outcome. In summary, U15s semi-final. Player X receives a second yellow card late in the game (first one for handbags alongside an opposition player) for calling me a "f***ing joke" after I awarded a penalty against his...
