In a word - no. In law, shinguards are compulsory equipment that "must be made of suitable material to provide reasonable protection and covered by the socks" Says nothing about how big, small, thick or thin they should be. If a player chooses to wear shinguards similar to the above and is...

North West Counties (Step 5 & 6) appoints AR's via MOAS, and we get Observer Reports & Marks when the R is being observed. Had 6 this season so far, with an average of 72.75 (Highest of 74, lowest 72) No ranking system though to see where that compares with others

If an U14 wants to try and be clever then I'd be inclined to let him learn the lesson from it the hard way. You've got enough on your plate as the Referee as it is without having to play Sherlock Holmes to get to the bottom of the curious case of the true identity of a dissenter. Write down...

The whole point of it is to caution when warnings are ineffective - the caution becomes an easier sell for you by using the stepped approach, as you have given the offender every chance to behave and avoid the action. In some instances, players will take the warnings on board and start to...

It wasn't a serious suggestion

Report via WGS and club receiving the white card gets a free credit against a caution in the next match?!

And if they are screaming for it....?

Just saw this on Twitter, thoughts please... Handball in law? Football expects? Spirit of the game? One missed by everyone? Anyone giving a pen?

Interesting one in the WSL - postponed after 6 minutes due to frozen pitch

The stills don't show the speed at which the ball is moving - which by the way at the point in which it's taken is faster than Ajanki is (i.e. the ball is moving away from him). Something many people seem to be forgetting

If you're looking to kill the game with soft free kicks where you could penalise either party, then penalise the one who's team would benefit most from the resulting free kick. Better a soft one to the defensive team rather than attacking. Last thing you need is a debatable free kick that leads...

Offside Easiest way to go about it (in my opinion) is to try and think think is your advantage better or equivalent to giving the free kick? In this scenario, the game is more open, ball has been played and receiving player is unfortunately offside - the team have benefited from your advantage...

Could they stretch the definition of 'showing lack of respect for the game' under Unsporting Behaviour as the caution offence? Agree this is finding a punishment to fit the 'crime' - FIFA well aware the association's would all have swallowed the fine for wearing them and they (probably under...

Can you do mid-season 5-4 in some Counties? I know you can do 7-5 in one season under the new pathway (if you can get the games in) I asked and my county said you can't, it's a full promotion year with promotion (if successful) at the end of the season. I'll have my 5 by Christmas so asked...

Good point - being senior you will be in charge of substitutions. Don't be pressured in to rushing the process and not getting the info you need - can be tricky when against the clock, or multi subs are taking place at once. Write down the names and corresponding numbers of all subs before you...

Slightly off topic but along the same lines - I've been wondering for a while since an incident last season. Dissent occurs in second half stoppage time with less than a minute remaining, I sin binned the player but it didn't quite sit right with me. Is it the case that no matter how long is...

Offences where an object (or the ball) is thrown In all cases, the referee takes the appropriate disciplinary action: reckless – caution the offender for unsporting behaviour using excessive force – send off the offender for violent conduct

Mr Tello in Argentina had an interesting end to his game last night... https://www.flashscore.com/match/x0GCguPm/#/match-summary/match-summary
