No, the decision is, is it in or out, clearly in so penalty !

I gave a foul throw in an under 12's game. Foot right up in the air behind the thrower. An older spectator shouted out, "I thought it was the linesman's job to watch the feet!" A quick, "Thought wrong then mate," did the trick !

Stern face and voice on, give the keeper a talking to, usually works for me !

Negative - Got hit by the ball. Positive - Told by both teams that I was the best ref they have seen for ages ! :-)

Same !

You are only obliged to stop the game if you think an injury could be serious. Having said that with the younger age groups I always stop if they are in tears. I refused to stop play in an OA game a couple of years ago when the striker went down. The defending team broke away and scored. The...

Yes it does ! If he shinned it he hasn't kicked it ! Dictionary definition of kick is: 'strike or propel forcibly with the foot'.

I have never heard Garth Crooks say anything that was remotely worth listening too !

Stop guessing and use your CARs

I have an RA colleague who has been in a wheelchair for 40 years so not the first by a long way. Fair play to him though !

Crabbing will kill your knees !

Why are you surprised he didn't get it, he's a player, none of them get it. I had the same tonight. At one end very slight coming together of two players in penalty area as the ball is about to go out of play, attacking player falls over, cue shouts for penalty, no way. Later at other end...
