My gut is foul, no card. But, that's based on the angles given. Looking at refs position, angle is very different so could alter opinion

From a new referee pont of view, I would recommended you add at least all your first five games. No entirely sure what checks are done to verify that you've done five games, but seems logical that the Whole Game System would be one of those databases used.

It's all down to personal opinion and temp of the game. My personal opinion is I am tired of players trying to ref the game, so I'll be using a verbal warning to pack it in, then sin bins. Not sure waving an imaginary card will boil my p*ss the same way shouting "that's a yellow ref" though.

Personally, I think the pro game should NOT have sin bins. Punishment should be as per laws of the game, and its great that is now happening. It may lead to short term increases in cards, but if its stuck to, it will get managers and players thinking twice about the sort of things we all want to...

I can see an argument for SPA and Yellow or DOGSO and Red. But from the angle the referee appears to have had, I can see why DOGSO red was given. The defender pulls the shirt twice (or one long hold), which slows the attacker or prevents him getting the ball as he would have otherwise. There...

If the ball was kicked out, it's a throw in as usual (the team who kicked the ball out would usually except to get the ball back, but that's not a rule). If you stop the play, drop ball is restart to the team that was in possession. However, you should only stop play for head injuries or if...

I've my first pre-season friendly lined up for the weekend. Step 7 teams (or at least one is), at a decent 4G pitch. Even has buzzer in my changing room to tell the teams when to head out onto the pitch - though I must admit, I have no clue how long before kick off I would even press it; every...

Anyone have any news on how the body cam trial went at the back end of the season? Or, my realy question, anyone know if the use of them will be allowed more widely? Thinking about the new points deduction plans in grassroots, they could become an important source of evidence

I attended the basic referee course in February. I've come into refereeing later in life (late 30s). I just managed my five games in before the end of the season (took an age for DBS check to come through), so I'll start thebnew season as L7. My five games were two u13 games and three open age...
