Good reasons. Why shout to get a keeper's attention when he should realise the game's about to start and will know when I give a loud blast of the whistle.

Sky have since updated their website. Disappointed that Gallagher didn't verify the change came from IFAB and was true. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11655143/football-rules-how-will-new-ifab-laws-affect-the-game

https://www.besoccer.com/new/amp/changes-coming-to-2019-20-football-592080 Claims penalty kicks not scored are dead balls. Nothing on IFAB. Is it made up?

Yc and look for every opportunity for encroachment and retake if they miss.

My twopenneth. I assume you didn't blow the whistle every time the ball went out of play?

I'm sitting here thinking of the FL officials in my area saying, 'don't give unexpected decisions'. Give offside and no one questions it.

The Kane offside call was the very essence of 'challenging' was it not? He was challenging before he was pushed and therefore the offside offence occurred before the push.

Anybody giving a back pass from Fredrick there?

How do you get it right if you can't see it?

As a former goalkeeper, I hate to say I used this type of leading leg a bit. Not so much studs up but I justified it by thinking it was a protection mechanism. It sometimes cleared the striker out but as I'm a big guy, a lot didn't bother. I could always say 'I got the ball ref' and was never...

Thank you. I shall now retire.

How do you know he deliberately didn't set out to handle the ball? I call he did on the basis of the timing of his dive. This avoidable talk reminds of a recent video foul discussion in which a player went to ground only to pull his leg back in when he realised he was nowhere near the ball. He...

First view I'm giving nothing as view obscured. Second angle, yellow to blue. Went in recklessly studs first. Yellow went in with instep and got ball.

Handballs at .43 and 1.08. Doubt if the REF or AR could see the first but no anyway. A player who trails his arm like that is a save - surely a pen? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47187873

The 'so what' is the 'fact' that minimum time in reality is the actual time, unless an attack is on.

The delay of the whistle allowing the goal happened at the Doncaster v Palace yesterday. I'm not sure where the 1 min injury time came from in the first place but if the ball was in the centre circle come 45+1 mins exactly, the whistle would have been blown. Instead it was near the Donny...

Whilst the coach is doing a favour in respect of getting the game on, he's lessening the experience for his own players by constantly telling them what to do whilst also confusing the opposition. There's also a second coach who's also shouting from the touchline to such an extent that the...

Rugby's odd though. You even get international refs telling players to move away and stay onside. Can you imagine football refs doing that?

I must disagree with you on the small sided not being real football. It is to them, it is to the FA and it is in respect of their learning. I managed to get my son's team doing throw ins properly within a week of me first reffing them. No other ref ever picks them up on it though so now they...
