I mean.. the way I read the release is that at any level IFAB doesn't expect a foul. But I'm kind of on your camp (from posts above) that at a professional level, these 'instincts' are generally bred out at this point of a player's career, so the game would expect a foul (except of course in a...

At the professional level, yes.

Eh.. yes and no. If it just blocks the shot, then yes - that is relevant. But does that extend to completely catching the ball?

Devils advocate question: Would you consider an amateur instinct as 'deliberate'? I've never had it happen in the penalty area, but have had in a womens game, a player about 5 yards from a kicked ball that was heading for her face catch the ball instinctively - then the ball just drops to her...

Assuming it doesn't have an alert on the band itself for heart rates though (moreso that the info gets sent to an app?) - so probably wouldn't class it as a health aid for those on the field.

I'm guessing this is a time-jump in the explanation? I.e - you gave the penalty, but you checked on the attacker at half time, after the penalty was awarded and taken?

Pretty much as RefereeX said above. Although, from memory, when FIFA does their World Ranking points for international matches, there is a difference in ranking points for an extra time win/loss, compared to a regular time win/loss.

Is this about "refereeing in the Premier League" or just a Jared Gillet doco in general? Either aspects would be interesting, considering Jared's career path into the Premier League.

I believe that something like this happened in Italy's second or third division a few years back. Not sure if mementos were made, etc - but from memory, the team showed up to the away game in the away kit (which was deemed to clash), so either the game would be forfeited, but the match was...

Isn't this just a rehash of the discussion post-2022 World Cup final?

Amazing in the comments, when leaving the field of play is brought up, the people that then roundabout their thinking to say that this player leaving the field of play "was part of the play"

Yeah, I saw that too. I’m thinking it was perceived not to impact the player

Part of another football forum where we were recently discussing offside when coming off the field of play, so was interesting to see an instance of it being called in this game! (Just prior to Italy’s first goal) On another refereeing note, Albania’s first goal kick was retaken (about a minute...

If I have a home and away CAR, I tend to put the home one on the side with the subs

We use them in Australia as well - what level depends on where you are in the state as well. In a league setting where I am: National Premier League (regional league underneath but not connected to the A-League) do not use CARs 2nd division of the territory - 1x CAR (generally from the home...
