    Leeds vs Liverpool

    Yet that's exactly what he did so he did have time to move his arm towards the ball, and therefore gain control of it leading to the goal. Handball all day for me.

    Crowding of referees

    Should introduce what Jarrit did inadvertently - two's company, three's a crowd! Third and any further player to crowd a Ref gets an automatic yellow card. That would work across all levels.

    Micro shin pads

    The LOTG require shin pads to provide reasonable protection - there is no way these shin pads are providing reasonable (having sound judgement; fair and sensible/ as much as is appropriate or fair; moderate) protection. The players are breaching the LOTG wearing them and should be pointed to the...

    SPINTSO S1 PRO

    Got the S1 Pro. It ain't no Refsix, more like a first version of the Refsix App with very basic functionality. Good points; great as a stop-watch for matches, it's purely a Ref watch so doesn't drop the App occasionally like a smartwatch, nice crisp display, double press now from buttons, GPS...

    Dorking Manager Rant

    Strangely, three videos posted of this game by different folks doesn't show the Officials poor performance, or any of their poor decisions! Weird that!

    Celtic v Greenock Morton

    IFABs guidance is clear on this, as per their guidance document (with videos) it shows two clips similar to this which give 'no expectation' as the reason it is not a penalty. And both of these clips are deliberate clearance by the defenders!

    Handball - VAR

    Ally Mccoist's opinion is irrelevant, he doesn't understand, nor probably even read the LOTG. The PK has a virtually identical example in the IFAB clarification document classed as a PK.

    ARS LIV handball anyone?

    A near identical video on the IFAB Clarifications document classes this as 'making the body un-naturally bigger' and therefore an offence. https://www.theifab.com/documents/?documentType=all&language=en&years=2022

    Manu Bton offside goal

    1.20. Not a handball, ball brushed off the back of his shoulder but looks like Maguire was offside from that angle and challenging for the ball so active offside.

    Bradford v Doncaster

    Should have taken better control of the situation at the first YC, and stepped in to move the player away from the free kick, rather than turn his back especially when tensions were clearly running high at that point. Poor management of the whole situation, unclear who the cards were for and...

    Hesitation with cards

    Players will always give you an opportunity to set your line in the sand, miss that and you risk match control. Stay alert for the first opportunity they give you and set the standard for the rest of the game.

    Hawk-Eye

    That would be impossible to judge - how would you see through a line of defenders to judge if, for example, an attacker at the far side of a free kick line up had any part of his body onside?

    Dundee Utd v Celtic

    From 1.30 in the following clip - thoughts?

    Manchester United vs Middlesbrough

    Incorrectly, because Refs are bowing to what criticism they'll get, and not correctly applying the LOTG, and this is what's creating the controversy. Apply the Law correctly in the centre circle and it doesn't become a major issue when you apply it correctly in the PB - Refs are making a rod for...

    Referee sends off player for taking too long on a throw-in

    TBF, the co-commentator seems a bit of an idiot...a 2nd YC has to be for something serious!' You can be sure had the Ref gone and given him a stern talking to regarding time-wasting he'd be complaining he had already been booked and should be a 2nd YC!

    Refereeing Essentials

    It's not our responsility but because most amatuer coaches blow the football to silly pressures, it makes the ball difficult to control! Get the pressure correct makes for better control by the players and a better game.
