Seems Antonee Robinson has gone in on his socials too. FA hamstrung here as they can’t exactly let it go, yet to punish contradicts PGMOL decision, at least in the court of public opinion.

And then appeal for a foul at the slightest contact or touch on their team’s players. As we all seem to be saying - it’s one or the other.

Who needs MS Copilot when we have Archer-ficial Intelligence?

Making his body bigger. That’s a penalty as IFAB intended.

This is very much in the subjective column for me. If it’s given on field it will not be overturned, and vice versa. I can’t sell a handball to myself here; a DOGSO foul I could. Although my initial reaction was players colliding, through their natural momentum. But seeing that raised knee...

Presumably you’re being visited by a coach as this is youth level progression? But that’s an aside. Don’t fall i to the trap of arbitrarily using or not using cards at set age groups. Use them as you need to. If an U11 shows obvious dissent (like having a proper tantrum and yelling and won’t...

This was why the ASICS were great, especially the gel soles. In others I use the Orthosole inserts but getting them to fit properly is an issue. Wondered if the cushioning in Skechers was a good alternative to the ASICS gel. In a similar vein I took the recommendation of HOKA trainers and...

Has anyone tried these? And if so, your opinions? Im finding ASICS boots harder to find and the getting decent insoles to fit boots is a challenge I haven’t the time or money to deal with. Cant get the level of support I need in Nike boots, Adidas boots aren’t wide enough and Puma let me down...

If you can afford it an electric bike is a good idea as it will increase your effective range. The downside is that you’d need to be sure you could secure it at your games as the monetary value is higher than a regular bike. A hybrid type bike (the crossover between a mountain bike and road...

When a coach or spectator shouts at you “Are you deaf as well as blind?”, take the appropriate action and respond “No. Are you stupid as well as ugly?”

Ooh conflicting advice - Do you work for IFAB? 😆

If an attacking player falls over in the penalty area, and you have already given their opponents a penalty in the match, you must award one here too. Because you gave exactly the same thing done the other end. Even if they’re totally different!

If a player is sent off for violent conduct and opponent must also be sent off; because “what about him?”

This is arguably a factual statement so has no place here. This is indeed a factual statement!

Spoiler: Yes it really is that bad a game that these are the talking points. Going to be a long season at this rate.

The England player went down immediately holding her head. On first look, I thought that was why it had been stopped, a thought solidified when the referee immediately waved on medics. Only on replays that it looked like a foul. And as had been said before, once the check for a red card is...

I’d like to see him get a consistent run of Championship games next season. Especially with the circus that follows Wrexham; it’ll turn the pressure up an extra notch and become a real proving ground.

I think we’re done. We’ve veered so far off on multiple tangents it’s time to put this out of its misery.

This whole experienced versus inexperienced debate is another pointless distraction. How do you get experience without an opportunity? Sink or swim time. If you can’t handle it, and I mean seriously mess it up, you won’t get another go for a long time. And so it should be; look elsewhere...

I stand corrected. Seemed to recall that early March was when they really went into free fall.
