You may also see the ref using his hand if it's a 50/50 indicating which way he is going so there is no confusion between him and the Asst works well I use them and never had an issue.

I would suggest they helped out a colleague I don't think they were paid for it so it wasn't authorised, they stepped in to help out fellow refs who were struggling and personally (although never having been in the situation) if I was I would welcome help from an experienced official...

Going DFK possible yellow based on tempo etc of game and given last minute and position of foul as not really stopping a promising attack, however if I was there and based on all information DFK minimum possible yellow card and potentially red if it was a deliberate kick out to trip them, not...

Inside or outside the PA? Deliberate or non deliberate trip? Ball close to the goal or nearer the corner? Any infringement before i.e. was attacker in offside position? Was the defender an outfield player or goalkeeper? Was he on a yellow already or multiple fouls committed and just a warning...

In this scenario I would suggest that a young female referee may have benefited from a more experienced referee taking charge and control of what appears to be an unsavoury incident. The young ref may be influenced by the constant abuse etc or even worse put off refereeing for good. However the...

She learns by watching an experienced referee deal with the situation and how to handle it? The same way we all learn from other referees or watching things or our Association meetings. Not all learning is through experiencing the situation, we all take tips etc from discussions on here and we...

Ok scenario here, you are doing a match a particularly contentious one lots going on and aggro because CAR giving every decision his teams way, which is getting to boiling point, with quite a few heated exchanges taking place and about to spill over and you want the CAR replaced for match...

I think any referee putting themselves out to help a younger less experienced referee should be commended for their actions. No doubt both the Asst and Ref both benefited from you being able to control the situation re-idiot in the crowd. If match control was lost and I saw a struggling referee...

Bored with this...the FA upheld the ban end of story, move on!

If he applies the laws correctly in his opinion............... No chance.

Have to say read most of the comments here and tbh couldn't careless what the punishment is for any player, I fill the same report in for them all and when it leaves my email I am done, unless appealed. Even on appeal I rarely check to see what was applied as I don't influence the decision of...

He was acting as fourth official so he can't dismiss anyone, it would be down to the referee to make that decision.

Would say that a number of pitches wouldn't be correct in law but have never brought a tape measure with me to measure them. I walk the pitch and count the lines out and they vary weekly. I know I was once told when I queried an assessment and was asked by the appeals panel what do the LOTGs...

A player says what? :angel: (sorry had to!) Hard one here if you don't know they were offside how could you give the decision? I was always told the same as you better a bad offside than a bad goal however, I always look at it from the viewpoint that's with a qualified AR who knows his stuff...

Another incident in last night's game and not even a free kick? We wonder why people talk about inconsistency amongst refs? Boot to face red, yellow or nothing at all? :wall: These boys are professional referees full time and they can't give the same decision what hope have the rest of us on...

Tricky one, firstly since no action was taken during the first half and I am assuming the person wasn't spoken to by the referee then I think you would find it hard to justify expelling him from the technical area. If he is a coach from the league then certainly he is entitled to be in the TA...

@TopCat would disagree in that scenario there is a clear circumvention of the law...here it appears that the keeper s has came to claim the ball having been controlled by the defender which to me isn't circumventing just good goalkeeping. Think of a defender getting the ball just inside the box...

Going from what was said...I suspect that the defender kinda went what's happening when no one challenged him and the goalie pounced on it. I don't think they tried to circumvent the law just as @TopCat says good goalkeeping. The law is open to interpretation but given the scenario I wouldn't be...

You were right, he didn't play the ball towards the keeper, the keeper picked it up from where he was controlling it, had he touched it towards the keeper as he came across then whistle IDFK, but given your description this didn't happen.

Do a comparison between football v rugby refereeing, the differences in the levels of respect, the number of cautions/sending offs, pre match preparation, video technology, does the sin bin work etc You could ask a few refs from each sport for their views etc
