What have precedents got to do with it? There are many precedents of players leaving a pitch without caution yet you would still card someone for doing it? Also, precedents can be errors within law so irrelevant when comes to football.

:redcard: simple. Hopefully he will learn his lesson.

Luis Suarez last weekend, rips his shirt....walks off....referee sanction? NONE! Hang the ref!!

At least our games are going to be a lot shorter...after potentially 18 throw-ins, corners, bye balls, balls leaving the fop we will have to abandon for there not being enough players on the pitch. I hate writing reports too! :facepalm:

@santa sangria we will have to wait to hear what the Lord God of all things refereeing has to say, although I suspect they will involve a :redcard: After all if you throw an object in the direction of another player or coach is that a OFFINABUS gesture? :bite:

@Padfoot At least have the decency and common sense to take the time to read my post...not just rant! :wall: Then when you have actually taken time to contemplate my statements and have it clear what is said then you may offer an informed opinion rather than just attack, attack, attack...

Folks, interesting arguments from both sides and plain to see that we all would handle the situation differently, I agree with Padfoot, because the LOTG state it is a mandatory caution. I also agree with the application of common sense and implied permission also having never actually had to...

Folks, don't get me wrong I don't tell them only in those areas I say that is theirs and I expect them to be making a call in them, of course they can flag for something they see that I don't and would expect them to, but hat I mean is that in their 1/4 of the pitch my expectation is that they...

Given I have basically cut the field of play into 3 areas and am only covering half of them, I would hope to be in a position to make the calls in my areas of the pitch, take it from edge of 18 to edge of 18 it's only 60/70 yards so approximately 6-7 secs sprint with ball in air etc I usually...

Jez, some interesting conversations there, I tell my ARs that 1/4 of the field is yours all offences flag and if you need me to come over put your hand to your chest pocket and I know it's a card. Penalty decisions from the near post are yours when 100% and I will take the rest. If we aren't...

Welcome Soham

Absolutely, although frustration and given the situation instructions may have been given to referees to not cause any controversy? That aside I had my first ever leaving the pitch without permission yellow card on Saturday, guy starts shouting at me to come on, ball in play I am doing nothing...

Same here so many local clubs you can't take a piss without bumping into someone from a club, only ever had hassle once from an idiot (former paramilitary), but he was told to wind his neck in. Other than that never had a problem been invited to a few end of season awards nights etc and cue...

Please don't open this argument again...let's all agree we have different tolerance levels of what is referred to as industrial language....although three off post match last week all used the 'c' word and by that I mean cheat....all missing the next two weeks. :angel:

Get it quite often, foul inside the PA, keeper puts it down and tries a sly kick to the centre half standing beside him, whistle blows...but it's a freekick blah blah blah....

Welcome to the dark side.....Amazon, Alibaba, Aliexpress Ebay all should have cheap kits and don't forget Refsworld UK! :oops:

Positives - You turned up and made yourself available for the game You made decisions right or wrong you made them you weren't frightened to make them You used the right signals for the different field events You blew your whistle You gave instructions to the CAR You talked to the players You...

You will always be nervous before a game, but it is the same as any other game. The LOTG don't change so just go out and apply them. Don't focus on the fact the teams are older than you, focus on your team work with the AR's and enjoy it. Best of Luck

90 mins over you, you recognised your learning point. Move on from it and in to next week's focussing on the positives!

I just read this and can't believe a) any couldn't interpret the LOTG to come up with a retake initially or b) there have been three pages of debate about? WTF As @Mintyref stated it was answered the second post.....someone give me strength!
