In your response you say 'good health and safety'. A guy whose job is H&S, said that the fact that these metal caps are on the field of play would mean that, if an equivalent was happening in his workplace, he would be raising concerns. Your analogy with pegs is not the same as a metal...

Maybe quite a few times as they run in to score a well timed header at the far post, and then run over the metal cap. Are you taking into consideration the likelihood of a player actually being in that area as part of your thought process? Would it be different if it was the centre spot or...

Thanks. I assumed that a lot would be classed as reckless or other yc offence anyway.

But if a player were to catch a stud in the cap, a leg could easily be broken. And the alternative is surely not to leave a hole, but to actually take out the old holders? I've not noticed these before but I assume they're common on multi use pitches.

I was under the potentially gross misapprehension that the yc for spa was not to be given under the new lotg, if advantage had been played. Have I totally misread that?

Thanks. Does anyone know what covers are put on to cover the sprinklers at league grounds? I see that the best systems lower the sprinklers to well below turf level but I can't see what covers them up. Sounds like there'd be something artificial.

The metal caps are on the goal line, 4ft outside the goalposts. They cover the previous goalpost holders as this was changed from an adult to a junior u13 pitch, although the penalty area is actually still adult size. The covers are flat but metal and I have concerns of a slip or elbow etc onto...

Does feel odd to not see anything and then give a blue free kick, even though it the blue kick that you actually saw. A lot talk locally amongst refs of 'what's expected'. I'd be interested in hearing if there was any dissent to the fact that you did give the blues a DFK. If not, then it...

Is that from Tevez's book, 'Down on the Farm'?

Penalty all day every day.

I would like to see this sort of challenge red carded straight away. For me it is dangerous and excessive. Players shouldn't have to play in fear of being tackled like that. However, put this up in front of the Local RA and they'll be some red, more yellow and some arguing for no card and...

They were only there to see the great Crystal Palace and to have a look at the big city. Proper day out. Didn't know Spurs were amateurs at the time.

Thanks. Can you a look at the answer to 5? Doesn't seem right.

Or SUFC by any chance?

Did it involve Corinthian Casuals at the famous Crystal Palace?

I'll go for Brasil v Argentina. Brasil had all the tickets because FIFA banned Argentinians after a belated VAR decision ruled out the cheat Maradona's handball.

@one. Many thanks for taking the time to strip back the law to its basics. I found myself searching a previous thread on the subject and the final position was exactly as you have stated above. I understand what you mean with the written law and purpose/spirit surrounding that law. I suppose...

Thinking about it, I seem to remember Man City players turning up in some. However, this to me is an equipment issue as a sharp pull on the snood in the box can have his head off. Can't believe a development league allows it. Checked with the league this player was in and the refs sec agrees...

One junior and one adult game this weekend have involved players coming onto the pitch wearing snoods. They were quite disappointed to be asked to remove them. Is this a common occurrence?

Cheers. The abuse happened after the game.
