That's mental. Average down in the SW is 71.75. I'm at 72.092 and I'm sat 20th from 80 at the moment! There's such a disparity between marks across the country it's no wonder there's never been a ref go from L3 -> 2B whilst in Cornwall!

And nobody down here questions @JamesL when it comes to law! 😂

Busy. 😋

Doesn't look great from this.

The player got a 2 match ban too.

Mexican referee Fernando Hernandez gets 12-match ban for kneeing player in groin - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65183032 12 game ban for the referee.

If the keeper is so switched on and knows the goal is ruled out immediately then why does he head to the left hand side of his area and look to release the ball back to the centre circle with his hands before changing his course towards the location of the IDFK restart?

Ah! I had a quick look and saw 38 games played! My bad! Edited now 👍

82nd minute in a step 3 game. Hornchurch 2-1 up. This is ruled out for offside. 2 managers dismissed for arguing the point. 85th minute Horsham score the equaliser. 90th minute Horsham score the winner to make it 3-2.

Probably not but it's not a certain goal.

Keeper in the middle of the goal. I assume the decision is that it wasn't denying an obvious goal. Not denying an opportunity as the shot has already been taken so it can only be a red if its stopped an obvious goal.

Please don't vote Simon Jordan into any position of power.

I bought the anthracite too. Volt is horrid 🤮

Not a chance I'm letting a quick one be taken there. 13 seconds between the foul and the 'quick' free kick. You want a quick one then it needs to be exactly that, quick. Once you've gone past the initial 5-6 seconds then it becomes ceremonial in my view.

Pure terminology, we all know the official term is repeat substitutions but layman's terms are rolling subs. In the same way a penalty shoot out is officially kicks from the penalty mark.

Subs at grass roots has always been a bit of a free for all and will continue to be so for the foreseeable too! Rolling subs doesn't help the situation either. 99% of the time it'd be absolutely fine and not cause a problem provided you're alert to who's on and off but you've found out first...

You're right, it's not always easy but it's far from impossible. Failing to manage subs correctly leaves you open to this kind of mistake. It's a potential challenge to match control that is entirely avoidable by taking our time and following processes.

Law 3.7. The player leaving is a substituted player that has interfered with play and so the restart should have been a DFK rather than IDFK. Shows the importance of managing substitutions correctly and as per the correct procedure though. (On the halfway line, 1 on then 1 off). By not...

I had similar in step 4 game recently. I was 'junior AR' but went bench side. The referees reasoning was to keep consistency on that side. If he were to get injured and I had come on, there other AR would have had to start from scratch building the rapport with the benches.

Red for the big chap in B&W kit. Clearly uses excessive force and endangers the safety. Ball is long gone and he plants the shoulder into the oncoming Red player with considerable force. Don't think the red player has done anything wrong!
