I met one when I did one of the 'Games for Grenfell' at Loftus Road in the summer. She said she took it up because her sons played but her husband couldn't stand football. Had done it for about a year, to mainly help out her sons' club, but was now doing more games outside that environment -...

As I've said before, seen an EFL referee give a yellow card for 'Delaying the restart' 10 seconds from the end of 5 minutes added time in the 2nd half!

No one forces anyone to do anything. Stay seated, play on your phone for 60 seconds, go to the loo, the bar - come on Graham there are myriad alternatives to booing - whilst showing some common decency.

Usually agree with you Gareme, but can't here. Its just common decency - "nothing wrong with this kind of expression" ?????? I'm a firm believer in free specch, but lets say the Smiths are holding a funeral for one who has passed, a family of neighbours have never got on with the deceased or...

Only 'normal' in the sense that clubs (in London especially) less likely to get SAG approval if police resources are diverted elsewhere. Having said that QPR have just confirmed that games v Millwall (A) on Weds and Stoke (H) on Saturday ARE going ahead.

Ok, yes that's true. Only 'signed up' to 3 comps last season and still managed 64 games, always a game to be done if you want it.

I've had similar from a (friendly) CAR. Looked surprised/disappointed when I said that I would call any 'foul' throws. So I put both my feet straddling the line and said "Is that OK?" , "Oh no" he replied. "That's why I'm looking after the throws"!:)

Not for you obviously:), but for other newbies, always try and check SatNav at the time/day you will be travelling, pointless looking up the journey time on a Saturday afternoon for a midweek evening game. As some of you will know, particularly relevant anywhere within the M25 and immediate...

Not sure its that simple. 'Fake' injuries? Referees have no choice but to stop play, as per LOTG, as others have said its not just for time consumption that players do that. I have even seen a fake concussion injury at QPR, aided and abetted by the medical staff - we can't blame everything on us...

Am I being thick, but if we're going to 55 - 60' of actual play, as no doubt someone will say the poor loves can't possibly actually play for 90', then games with a stop/start clock will last as long as they do now. TV can cope, they don't know how much added time there is going to be now. For...

Even within 'youth', your calls will/should differ. An 18 year old can take a much more robust challenge than a 12 year old for example, and they, and the spectators/team officials, will expect a lot less involvement from yourself than the average u12 match for example. Not very helpful this...

Hope the next one puts a smile back on your face! Presume you're staying up North for now, no plans to return to sunny Middlesex?:)

Not actually allowed to receive treatment on the fop, but that's another thing that's just ignored.

I called him Mr Salisbury??????? It wasn't me who said he had 'only' refereed 6 PL games, but my point still applies whoever, doesn't it?

Wasn't impressed with Mr Shearer calling Mr Salisbury 'inexperienced" either. Yes, that was 'only' his 7th PL game, but where did he think he came from - Mars? I'm obviously guessing, but he must have done at least 500 games and probably nearer a 1,000!

So did Danny Murphy on MOTD, 5 seconds after saying VARs should be ex professionals!;):rolleyes:

At QPR this season, 5 minutes added time, GK cautioned after 94 mins and 50 seconds (After being spoken to from about the 20th minute) Absolutely pointless.

Here's your fee Thanks Seems a lot simpler to me - the passage of time doesn't guarantee simplicity!

Flawed logic there - if "you couldn't spend cash anywhere" it wouldn't exist!

Had hardly any paid in that timescale. Do as you say - They chase, report back, we check again, report back to them etc etc etc Cash - transaction done in 5 seconds - sometimes 'traditional' is actually 'best'
