Sent off a 16 year old lad for turning to me mid game and shouting in my face calling me an F’in stupid/ rubbish C word. Manager straight faced said to me after the game that I had made an error as you can’t be sent off for dissent! When I explained it was offensive and abusive and therefore a...

I’ve gone dropped ball before and no one said anything but it didn’t feel right to me as I was dropping it. Suppose if there is a push involved I could punish the first push with a direct free kick? And if you could send the formula with full workings out please!!

Always wanted to know what the restart was when two players square up but with no real ‘offence.” What would it be if ball is in play?

Feel so sorry for the Ref

Very hard to review cautions I think, and it could lead to more problems down the line. As we have all said on this forum before, cautions can be either not given to help the flow of a game, given to calm it down, players given the benefit of the doubt early on, SPA is rarely black and white...

Say this happens, the attacker gets the ball down quickly, goes to play it to his mate who has a simple tap in but the keeper quickly blocks the ball, is that DOGSO or just delaying the restart yellow?

Had 2 in the same game not the same as this but comes under the “off players own foot/body on to hand.” Is it a blanket ‘no handball’ even if the arm is out (in one instance, the player miscontrolled the ball, the ball bounced up and the players arm was outstretched for balance as he tried to...

I should have been clearer! The ball was travelling quickly so they ended up being a good 15/20 yards away from the ball and the keeper - so keeper had an easy roll out either side of him as an option to start an attack the other way! There was no pressure on the keeper per se, which is why I...

Thanks for all that! For 3) if I stop the game for the pushing and shoving and there is at least one offence in there (the grabbing/shoving), is it correct to go drop ball? learning would either be as I see the conflict about to start blow for the free kick (so no confusion like this...

I had an interesting one yesterday… Ball going back to the goalkeeper with defender shielding and attacker just behind. Ball goes back to goalkeeper safely after a little nudge from the attacker on the defender (just about a foul). I gave advantage as keeper had ball in his hands and to keep the...

@David F Might be the best explanation I’ve seen - been trying to think of how to explain why I thought it was a pen and yours is probably best! He’s moved his body (and therefore his arm) in to the way of the ball - therefore - penalty.

Had something similar to this penalty last week, attacker in the action of shooting and player with his arms out without pushing sort of blocks him - no one appealed but I did have a quiet word with the defender and told him in future to keep his arms down as any extra force would leave me with...

I’ve had a few issues - I contacted them and they said they think the issue is with the phone and the watch itself - try loading up the Connect app before you load REFSIX and afterwards - it forces the phone and watch to talk to each other again - has worked for me so far

From what I understand, it is when 'in the opinion of the referee' the keeper has control of the ball. This includes when in the last few minutes they dive on a ball that they could have just picked up. It means the count starts then and keepers are not allowed 10+ seconds before they even stand...

Slightly on topic to do with this discussion, how do we all feel about thrown ins being taken a lot deeper than where it goes out? Say a defending team clear the ball, and it goes out around half way but the ball keeps going back towards the opponents own goal while out of play. The defending...

Used all of these, generally seems to do the trick!

Noticed my positioning definitely helps judge any fouls (or lack there of). Did actually shout 'no fouls' but as I said it it didn't sound right so haven't since!!

After some guidance from the hive mind on here! I've found the most common 'ref' shout from the bench is usually when the ball is in the air with two players going up for it, usually a centre back and a striker, and any time a centre back wins it the strikers bench will always give a shout that...

Hello everyone, After reffing my first few games I’ve started to notice the things I’m not 100% about, the main one being what constitutes dangerous play, and do I give an indirect free kick? Two examples: 1) Two players going for a bouncing ball around knee height, player A gets there before...
