    This could be fun!

    I can understand the argument of not interfering with play. In my opinion, I think that this highlights why the law 'might' be wrong. In reality (not in law), surely he's made enough of an effort here for it to be sensibly judged offside, especially at the moment in the screen grab...

    Here we go. Clear offside for me (the second one is as well) Here's the bite if anyone wants to see it. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/9771127/dagenham-and-redbridges-joss-labadie-accused-of-biting-stevanges-ronnie-henry

    This could be fun!

    Stevenage V Dagenham & Redbridge. Ball played through. Striker who is offside, runs through, gets about 1 metre away from the ball and goes to kick it (I think). He then stops and an onside player picks it up. Lino stands there with his flag up near halfway line. The ball is then played...

    Referee Career

    Very much so @iReferee. Mobile site is excellent.

    Throw-in

    Would also be a nightmare to ref with every 'throw in' becoming a melee in the box like at a corner.

    Cardiff v Bournemouth - Disallowed Goal

    @Morten ball doesn't have to leave the area, it's in open play? It does look like he's deliberately stood there in the way, rather than it hitting him inadvertently.

    WGS in for an upgrade.

    It was incredibly slow earlier. Took 3 tries to get a caution report done...

    2015/16 Nike Kit

    Correct @Tunny. The intention was always that they will last two years.

    Watch this before your game!

    Don't think I could cope with living in Gib, having been there... That one pitch that you saw has every game on it, with the old gravel cricket pitch being converted to a 4G surface at the moment, and cricket being shared at Victoria Stadium. Must be incredibly hard to balance housing/hotels for...

    OMFG....a pink ball

    Officially, it's 'MANGO'. Not sure where they got that from though...

    Junior/Youth That's a new one...

    U11 Cup QF this morning. Long ball played over the top to red striker. Keeper comes out and striker hesitates. Striker then hooks it to a blue player (awful touch) but the keeper absolutely clatters him. Free kick, edge of the box. Then comes the good bit. Keeper goes down and manager runs on...

    Referee Kit ?

    Looks like this year's Nike kit to me, but the odd angle means you can't see the white trim around the collar. No badge though, maybe he's newly qualified.

    Manager walking around the pitch

    Hmmm. If he's not causing a problem and no-one has an issue with it, then to be honest I'd leave him be. Why create a problem for yourself when it doesn't really exist in the first place?

    Why do we check the keepers are ready before kick off?

    Yep, I do it. For me it's almost a sign to everyone of 'be ready, we're about to start' rather than it being about the keepers.

    What do you spend your match fees on?

    100% going towards driving lessons at the moment. Will be with it when I can drive to games though.

    Ross Barkleys Socks

    This is this year, where clearly he's bothered to use blue tape.

    Open Age First Fixture on the line...

    Yep, will do them when I'm not at Stevenage @Russell Jones, probably next season as well.

    Open Age First Fixture on the line...

    Got the joys of extra time and penalties... Everything went well, couple of flags were too hasty (as people told me not to do above) and ref overruled once (decided a player wasn't interfering, I thought he was). Things to work on, but onwards and upwards!

    Open Age First Fixture on the line...

    Don't start. Seen my name written wrongly at least 10 different times this week. IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DIFFICULT!
