It’s VC for me - but my greater concern is his reaction to the red card. I hope his ban is extended for that.

From the angle in the video, I agree that the referee appears to be 100% wrong. This angle is less flattering for the W&H player (although obviously it’s just a still image so hard to tell much from it): I’m struggling to have sympathy for this tiny broken shinpad, however:

Yeah AR2 should only be making the signal if the referee hasn’t seen AR1 trying to get his attention. So in matches with buzzers/comms it’s basically unnecessary

Apparently friendlies don’t count towards 6-5, I have just learned. They do count at 7-6

Is he actually attempting to strike him? Looks like he possibly misses him on purpose. Either way it would have been a dumb way to get sent off

The only bit I am unsure of since the changes is whether the five lines for 6-5 have to be open age, or whether they can be u18 etc

Open age women’s games count towards your total for 7-6 and 6-5 (at least where I am anyway)

From my experience you’ll get lines on the CCFL if you are able to provide them with a couple of Saturdays a month. They have U23s and U18s you can middle on too

For me it’s a yellow for the hold (not SPA). But you’d be justified just giving a free kick

I suppose there could also be the weird instance that they HAVE had their kit inspected before kick off but then ran off to take a phone call/use the toilet before kick off etc and missed the start…?

If a team starts with fewer than 11 players, does a late arrival named on the teamsheet need to wait for a stoppage in play to enter the field of play? Or can they enter during play, provided they have the permission of the referee? I’d have thought they need to wait for a stoppage as...

Time’s up. You had 90mins to kick the ball around

A lot of divisions didn’t get finished. Some teams had six games left over and just forfeited them as they knew they were safe. One team stayed up on goal difference by forfeiting the last three games and taking 3-0 defeats, rather than playing three games in five days etc

Just comes back to my point that they should be picking up a flag a couple of times a year at a lower level. Yes it would be weird for Michael Oliver to run the line in PL2, but surely that’s better than him being unprepared to do it in the PL in case of emergency?

Safety comes first obviously but i personally felt last year in my area that grassroots games were called off at the vaguest drop of rain early on last season, and clubs came to regret it. However we’ve been pretty lucky down here so far. The wind actually helped on Sunday clearing away the...

I sympathise with the 4O having to step in. It does raise the question however why they are not trained more often in running the line in case this happens? If we aren’t going to have reserve assistants at every game, should refs also have to do the odd line a few times a year at reserve or...

Bit harsh but in fairness having not seen the whole game it may have been for C3? Either way not very sensible for someone on a yellow

I’ve heard that before! Fingers crossed

I had a schools fixture like this the other day and thanks to your thread double checked the teams existed in WGS before the match - which they did - so thank you. Similarly to you, nearly 500 matches in and I hadn’t come across this issue before.

Yep all affiliated… just no response to a request for this season’s rules
