I had this on Saturday. In the defensive half I'm not too bothered and mostly let them get on with it unless it is howlingly out of place. In the attacking half I was reasonably directive with the first few, and whistled to bring back 5 yards or so. After that they would just give me a look...

Did you do it the second time to check that you'd made a mistake the first time?! 😉 If so, that is a pretty sound methodology, but I'd avoid increasing the number of replicates and end your data collection.

I agree with this.

Clicked on it. 😣

Being able easily 'share' a match with another ref to save you all having to input details, teamsheets etc.

As an Argyle fan... I'm not convinced it's a dive, but I'm also pretty sure it's not a penalty either. I think his right leg (knee/thigh) makes contact with the thigh of the defender, hence the lack of follow through.

I think it is definitely a case of heinous cheating that sought to influence the referee... being a lifelong Argyle fan. 😉

It reads as though the keeper had the ball in his hands when he kicked the striker.

@ramref it should last you quite a while!

We'll he's got one from me for exactly that reason! 🤣

I thought I'd been suspended! Only just realised it was EVERYONE. We is truly bad!

There are tags?!

I can think of MANY good words for players. BEs is a good starting point eh @Archer?

I try very very hard not to say 'next time...' "Just so that it is clear, you are now getting close to my tolerance. Be careful you don't step over it." Or words to that effect.

Iron the decal onto a piece of 'non-stretchy' fabric. You can then tape that on and take it off when not needed.

This "Delaying the Restart of Play" caution was sponsored by Viagra.

You could yellow and red nail varnish to issue cautions.

Stop the watch and wait. If the ball in on the pitch then they are entitled to kick it as hard and as far as they want. I'd make it really obvious that you are adding time back on. If the ball is (clearly) off the pitch and they do it, then I would be cautioning them.

It's definitely one of those challenges where you end up with 2 players on the floor and you think to yourself, "what the hell just happened here?"
