Understand the referee is here is young however this is grounds for dismissal in my opinion on the coach - the coach has now brought the integrity of the referee into disrepute or otherwise calling him a cheater.

Imagine accusing someone of smoking it and it turns out they haven't had a shower.. unless I physically see someone on the teamline using then they can do what they like I wouldn't go digging (especially not if yourself)

Shocking

And in true fashion this season, through the compliance officer the red card has been rescinded.

Great I now refuse to participate!

Is the Yo-Yo not included in the fitness test or did where they winding me up? :D

This is why the introduction of VAR hopefully for the 21/22 season will be great for Scotland (they've already ruled it out for 20/21 due to the duration of the training)

Check out @Bazzinho9’s Tweet: Goalkeeper clearly nudges with elbow - enough for the straight red?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/clubs-launch-bid-bring-foreign-14022028 I think the clubs need to realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side however I do agree that the standard of certain officials needs to improve (we all know not every call we...

On a different note these plastic pitches in the top flight look horrible

Assuming you're going to be joining between Cat 7 + 4 Dev you can basically wear whatever kit you want it is only recommended you buy the SFA kit from Hampden if you want to look better - it has nothing to do with promotions etc (this is why you see ammy games on a saturday and some older chaps...

Hi All, I have a cup game this weekend with the possibility of it going to PKs should a draw occur - I have referee'd both teams before and each time it's ended a draw unfortunately. My question is should the game go to PKs in the event of a draw, where do I ask both teams to stand? Should...

I thought this would have been a foul on Dundee #2 especially if he appealed? Can someone explain why it wasn't a foul? Had the player just given up due to score and didn't appeal? To me it looks like he's being held down/pulled?

All I'm seeing is 1) No foul never mind a yellow card and restart is goal kick 2) The assistant who is about 10 yards maximum away from the incident being overruled by the referee who was about 35-40 yards away (credibility anyone?). As always mistakes happen, however this season has been an...

Penalty for me, player intentionally dives infront of the ball. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bs21jr/sportscene-25112018 Skip to 49:50 for various camera angles. 50:08 is the best to see how the player intentionally dives infront of the ball - he does not just attempt to get up. For...

This - speak to the home coach as it's their responsibility at this level. If behavior continues or lack of action from coach, explain that if it doesn't stop you will abandon the match. The worst thing you can do here is not follow through, if the spectator doesn't stop or the coach doesn't...

This. I have no issues doing school games and I've never had a match fee - what's good about school games is they tend to be more relaxed (I'd love to see the reaction from the teacher coach if a player goes over the top) allowing you to concentrate more on your positioning and fitness...

Thanks everyone. I wouldn't say there was any impact on the striker however have acknowledged that if the defender actually pulled or obstructed him through the shirt I was giving a penalty. The 40 minute drive home had me thinking if I should have given penalty as there was a hold before the dive.

Think I've made a mistake at the weekend and hoping for a bit of advice - Striker running towards ball (terrific through ball I must say) and defender has a hold on the back of his shirt - if striker gets pulled to the ground I'm giving penalty and for whatever reason the striker decides to...

Teamsheets are usually the first thing I ask for when meeting and greeting on arrival, this way any issues can be sorted out and if they aren't ready the clubs tend to speed up in getting them ready. I don't think I've had a game where there hasn't been at least one issue with one of the clubs...
