Isn't that the middle official's job? AR supposed to observe the feet of GK. The only other things AR is supposed to do is see if ball went past the goal line and get back in position after. That doesn't sound like they are focused on their task.

Just learning

A defender clears the ball and his teamate, Reitz slaps it away. I think it would be a handball and penalty.

In US soccer is less organized and the ball supply is less organized. Theres no home or away bc there are no home fields.

From these photos it looks like handball

In the 36th minute, Rocco Reitz threw his hands up, blocking the ball. The ball was kicked up, and Reitz threw both of his hands towards the ball. The move looked intentional, and it was in an unatural position. Any thoughts on this?

Shouldn't there be one more specific to a foul breaking up a promising attack? Breaking up an OBVI attack would sound like a tackling or interception switching the possession. FBUPA-foul breaking up a promising attack

I'd let both teams send their captains and balls to decide the coin toss and first, let both captains exchange balls to check which one is better. I would check both myself. If one ball is flat, I would select the other ball. If both are fit, I would let the team captains agree on one ball, and...

Back to work! :)

I recall while watching the clip with the incident, the referee also gives a yellow card to the Valencia goalie. Or was it overturned? The ref went back to the VAR box and also handed a red card to Vinicius. Goalie's pat was on the back and it didn't look like what you would call violent...

Valencia's GK did start the heat. Rann his hand his hand over Vini. Vini takes his head off. Red card. Honestly, I wouldn't mind the pat. It seemed more passive that violent. Vini just straight overeacted and slapped the keeper's face. OBVI violent conduct. Bro literally slapped the guy in the...

In U.S. they set limits for tempetures 20-108 degrees F. I assume y'all have something similar. I think that the pitch is what matters. Otherwise the league would call it off. Tell the county FA bout the incident. I'm sure they'll do something bout it.

Yeah, I have. I play for comprtitive club. But what confuses me is that whenever I receive a handball the referee calls it. Unless, its arms behind, the ref will call it. I incorporate those experiances into my rulebook, so it kinda sticks.

I didn't know there was one in US. I just assumed it was in UK. Didn't know that league didn't handle it. What is the county FA? I know that the FA is the English football administration, but a county one? How is English refereeing organized?

Just an advantage in general. I think it kinda is unatural. Hard to tell. The arms seem pretty spread out beyond his body. But I can see how it could not be a handball.

Seems like a unatraully bigger position to me. No. 7 is literally touching ball with hand. It also gives him an unfair advantage with the hand. 🫱⚽

From that POV, i'd say its a handball. It seems like the Newcastle player made his body unatraully bigger. He did expand his arm away from body. I don't see how its not a handball.

Vini had to be restrained by Rüdiger and the GK coach out of the stadium. Violent conduct is my decision for Vini pushing the Valencia keeper face. No other category to place it in.

Can you show us a specific clip of it or bring out some details?
