If you wanted to and its not still painful, would you mind posting the details of that match, would prove interesting and informative for the rest of us I'm sure.

True. He was on the line the other day at QPR with Akil Howson on the other line. Incredible to think how rare it STILL is to have only 1 white official out of 3 at that level.

I'd hardly call a written response from IFAB "Fanzone stuff" :rolleyes:

Same game - the gaol that AM let stand and even after VAR sent him over to look at a possible handball. Isn't this scenario exactly what HW is trying to avoid. Even if AM didn't see the contact, it wasn't one of those "Wow, he got THAT wrong!" moments as it was debateable , at best, if that...

Thanks - interesting insight into the changes HW might make.

Thanks

On the caution, as it can't be for breaking up a promising attack anymore, how would that be reported - I know USB, but would you call that reckless or acting against spirit of the game?

Yep, all good points - especially now that I've read the full article!:oops::p He admits himself, its not going to be those who have had a full high profile career, but maybe those whose careers have been cut short possibly by injury, or relative lack of ability. Good to hear he wants to...

If ex pros from the 20th century and the top 2/3 levels of the professional game, I don't think the money/job thing is an issue! :) More seriously, IF financially secure for life, why would many bother? You would have thought coaching/media work much more appealing.

Still got 12 out of 54 wrong which is very high with the aid of more time and more and better angles no?

and a delay to get the incorrect decision and more dissent (not less as was promised) as we can all see players ask the referee if ANY penalty decision is going to be reviewed now and the fact that ARs are not flagging even the most obvious offsides immediately and.....but you get my drift! ;)

Actually this article (From 2017) quotes the figure as 98%! https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/10808860/referee-myth-busting-how-many-decisions-do-officials-get-right

I really love the way they are quoted as saying that "they" ie the PL, ie the clubs, are "not prepared" to add on time for goal celebrations - isn't that something the PGMOL should be deciding?:rolleyes: Of course I realise who really decides on these matters, but still looks quite odd when...

As someone pointed out on another site, that's a far higher % of errors for VAR than a mere human one! Slightly disingenuous but given us human refs are quoted at something like 95%+ accuracy for all decisions to get 12 out of 54 wrong - is that what they are saying? - is pretty poor - ducks...

Although that is of course helpful, might be worth going to some non league games, as you can often view those from the persepctive of the referee - ie once and at ground level. As others have said no substitute for experience and we are all different - there are no right and wrongs a lot of...

Firstly get well soon. Secondly, I think the mental aspect with any injury and/or illness is important. No good, at any level, going back if the injury is going to inhibit you physically, obviously, but also mentally - easy to not bother running towards that neutral corner, or assuming no one...

I've used a similar line before, referring people to LOTG and telling them to look f#or the words "Leave it" - I assure them they won't find them! There's loads "High foot", "Studs up", "Foul throw", "Obstruction"

For the umpteenth time I had this conversation with someone, only the other week. "What?! You can shout 'leave it', wow!"

Could clearly see it on TV (It was live on Sky) He got up shaking his head and waving his arms in a "No, not a foul manner" if that makes sense!

For those that didn't see, Burnley promptly put a wonderful free kick in the top corner!
