    Should the Select Group talk to the media post-match?

    I think what the Colina program showed is that there is definitely a gap for a referee "pundit" within television broadcasts. Similar to when broadcasters have ex players or managers on their panel there may also be benefit in having a space for an ex referee on standby for when some decisions...

    Ecuador v England

    I'm also of the opinion that a red card for Sterling is supportable, especially considering the lunging nature and height of the challenge endangering safety (above the ankle) - and also considering the reaction it brought out of Valencia. I'm in agreement with Supermonkey's last post: 2 off...

    Week 2 - the return of the big mac

    I have one query about this question (stupid to ask now as I've entered but nevermind). The assistant who claims to have seen this "punch" and "penalty" - Is he the guy you're familiar with or is he the guy you don't know? I know this shouldn't make a difference but in real life it probably...

    The Keeping The Laws Of The Game Fresh In Our Minds Summer Competition! Week 1!

    Is week 2 up yet? I'm convinced there is something wrong with my computer so apologies if I appear a bit keen.

    champions league final

    In my opinion the man in the middle can be very happy with last night. I believe the only grey area would be a possible red card (or 2) over the Gabi/Coentrao spat, maybe it wasn't seen or maybe he did see it but attempted to apply a bit of common sense (which may have been a sound approach with...

    Red Card

    I think you'll find that was more of a general book review than a criticism of someone's refereeing ability.

    Red Card

    The David Elleray trick! A piece of genius if you ask me but I cannot advise it as it opens up all kinds of possibilities when it comes to appeals etc. Especially if some of the players/coaches know for a fact you haven't seen it. This can bring all kinds of retrospective action against you from...

    Criticisms of Referees

    Let me state that this thread was NOT motivated alone by the comments of @Owen Webster - but the cup final thread in question in only one example of a few threads which caught my eye over the course of the last few months. I feel that the comments toward Owen have been slightly out of order...

    Criticisms of Referees

    Let us first of all take pride in the fact that we are a community run by referees for referees, a position in football which is often diluted by nonsensical punditry logic and punters' interpretations on the best way to officiate the laws of the game, with barely any understanding or attempt to...

    Collina: tackler going off with injured player & YC + pen for DOGSO

    What about instances where a fair tackle occurs with no foul given and an injury is simply an accident? Also, this is not relevant, but the title of that news story is a grammatical abomination. Clearly the author has gotten his/her adjectives confused with adverbs - "punish bad tackles...
