As much as I would prefer a card in this situation, my opinion has actually changed re-reading this thread. In almost all examples of dissent shown to referees on courses, there is a very obvious, non verbal element (usually throwing the ball in a tantrum). I can’t actually think of one case...

I had a promotion CPD with my CFA this morning and interestingly we were told to do this, but only after we gave the opponent a clear verbal instruction to move away. At the same point, we were told to pause the count while we did this, and then continue where we left off when (/if) they moved

As much as I can agree with you there, I genuinely believe that it doesn't happen in the first place in elite cricket (and other sports such as rugby) as the players know they won't get away with it, unlike football where we see time after time that they can pretty much say what they like and...

As someone who also umpires cricket in some of the lower level ECB competitions, if a player used that language they 100% would not be on the field any longer. That would likely be classed as a Level 2 or 3 offence, and they would be temporarily removed from the field without hesitation (if...

For the subs I have no explanation, but after goals they now start adding time after allowing 30 seconds to elapse first, so it is possible that the goal genuinely didn't have an impact on the amount of time added (although I didn't watch the game so can't comment on whether that was actually...

Parent coming on for their child? Ok, maybe I can look the other way for a second. Parent coming on and then questioning me about my decisions? Tell captain/team officials to remove them immediately and ex report after the game.

I remember this being discussed 2 years ago because I was at that game sat right in line with the challenge. As both a fan of the offended team AND a referee, I was happy with yellow. Lack of excessive force for me.

Oh bugger I've been caught 😂

I believe there is an undo button on the watch version if you hold it down as if you're going to end the half and it reverses the most recent input.

I would disagree that this is clear DOGSO. One of the key considerations is "likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball". I think this is one where the likelihood of the keeper gaining control of the ball first is equally as likely as the attacker gaining control of the ball, therefore...

Pick a pocket player 😂 manage with yellow on this one because of the keeper may get there first argument

Goals, cards, and subs are the data you can input. You can also use the additional time feature so that you can keep an easy record of stoppage time without having to remember everything in your head. You input the data there and then but the most it takes is normally 3/4 clicks and less than 5...

I can completely understand why some people don't like it, and I have, on a couple of occasions, not bothered if it's been playing up and just used pen and paper (I do always have these as a back up and keep physical records as well just in case!) as it does annoy me as well. However, when it...

I had this issue with my Apple Watch on Tuesday before my first game of the season. Managed to get it fixed 10 mins before kick-off somehow. Seems to be working fine again now though. The app has been a bit more temperamental in the last few months I've noticed.

Surely the most appropriate answer is B (allow, send off, report). If we realise we missed a penalty 5 mins ago we can't go back and give it (assuming play restarted in that 5 mins) so why could we disallow a goal based on a mistake made 5 mins ago?

I did actually think of one extra point of note that has just come up in a conversation with me and one of my friends who plays on a women's team. Arms/hands across the chest - common sense says no handball imo, but what are people's thoughts on that?

Thanks both! Positioning is something I’ve spent most of my time focused on in my preseason as it was the biggest development point I got from my MDC at the end of last season. So I can use this as an opportunity to test my ability to adapt it as well

I've decided really late on to join a women's league local to me for this season to get some more middles in (it covers tiers 5-7 of the pyramid if that makes a difference). I wanted to ask the more experienced officials on here who have done plenty of women's games before if there are any key...
