VC stipulates excessive force or brutality, I think both words are unhelpful because hair pulling is never necessary in footballing contexts but I can't imagine an incident of it that wouldn't be a red imo. even though you're looking for EF or brutality to justify.

I have long legs

Both adding interpretation to the law, going to mean more debates with players...

Please god let it have been called off so I can be smug

If we couldn’t referee our “local” sides I’d be done for. My county league has three teams within 10 minutes of me and 20 all over an hour away. About 3 in between that distance. I do get teams saying “oh he’s local” but I’ve lived here two years and barely care about how the actual team I...

Ffs I knew how this would read 😂 Yes I’m arguing for a change in the law/guidance to allow this in these circumstances. Currently of course you must stop the game

I hate these situations but that does look like definite head contact there to me. It’s a scenario where you don’t need the game stopped because a physio running on there is going to have no impact and if the ball does come back over then there’s no promising attack anymore and you can stop...

30mph is more than enough to prevent the ball from staying still and getting a game called off. But with the whole “pitch next door” thing, it’s very possible to have one playable and the other not. My allotment is in ankle deep water after that rain, my neighbours is 3 feet away and totally fine!

You vastly over estimate how much time my work takes up ;) I come here to vent when **** hits the fan!

Just spat out my tea at work ffs

Please be serious, a storm that put towns underwater and killed several across the South was scheduled to have winds triple that, was my point. It's nothing to do with "safety culture", factors would have included travel distance, input from teams, age of participants.

How could they have guessed the wind wouldn't come? In hampshire a man was killed be a fallen tree, in dorset trees came down onto park pitches, it only takes about 10MPH+ to prevent the ball staying still at restarts

Am I right in thinking VAR cannot get involved for a second yellow red card? Because this seemed incredibly soft and not what I would ever call reckless (About 1:50)

Your employer may offer a service too that will often be cheaper (mine was £120)

Oh yes RE: VAR, much like referee standards and player wages it's something that will only come as the game grows, whether that's totally organic or with FA/private support

It was an error, but I think pre-VAR you wouldn't never see this at the top of the men's game (indeed I've seen it happen)! It's a good argument for VAR in the WSL. I must say there is a lot being done by the FA and PGMOL on improving the Women's Pathway and quality, it's not going to be a...

Sure, but I don’t blame Michael Oliver when one of his mistakes is thrown in my face mid game. Because next week it’ll be whatever new referee moment is going around Twitter, sometimes it’s RSUK and 9/10 times the referee is correct but players and coaches just don’t understand.

Sorry that happened but if RSUK didn’t exist they’d simply cite some other thing they’d seen on social media that werk

I’d accept 100 tweets calling players cheats or defending bad decisions if refsupport helped even one referee each year who is a victim of abuse or assault. As it stands they help a lot more than one.

But it's not beers, its illegal regulated substances. Half of London is a huge exaggeration, it's use is high in football but even then it's a fraction of fans. Any professional loses their job for failing a drugs test, even outside of work hours.
