I make it very loud and clear in youth footie in particular, PLEASE PUT A NAME ON A CALL - if same player continues AND it causes confusion then it’s an IDFK (hopefully not where it can lead to a problem for myself, eg penalty box … don’t need that stress!) - if no confusion then it’s an extra...

I had a club assistant who, when I said pre-game, can we have a quick chat (as I handed over flag) - “what do I need to talk about, I know it all mate” … so I asked him which position he was going to take to start the game … he reluctantly put his head down and pretended to listen … and...

Does anybody have any definitive info on the heading ban in youth football in England - ami help outlet with local club youth teams; there is a lot of chat, lack of knowledge and confusion over the “heading ban” - where is it on trial? Some local to me think it is going to apply to local county...

I agree with you - head hit first … but … I genuinely thought that VAR is meant to correct a “clear and obvious” error - if it took VAR that amount of time AND a visit to pitch side screen - surely means that it was not C&O?

Simply didn’t do it - so yes I guess he could have claimed mistaken identity- but he just said “not guilty”

It’s true - I’m an oldie 😂😂😂😂 - this was back in the 80s … and I’ve just rejoined the ladder back at the bottom rung … this time around I’m not chasing promotion but rather doing it for the fun 🤔 and he appealed on the basis that he didn’t do it!

Thank you - I’m trying to justify to myself the cost - meanwhile compression socks winging their way to me! 😂

I had experience of a player giving me a “ w*nk*r “ sign with his fist (after a I gave a free kick against his team); I mistakenly gave him a YC - he appealed and at his personal hearing it was upgraded to a YR - I got some further advice :) - he went home much poorer …

Air compression boots - any more info please

Yes

Agreed - that wasn’t my point, as much as “a foul is a foul is a foul” - agreed you can “play on” and that will affect the restart …

In my head it’s a foul - if shot goes in great - but just because a player is fouled after taking a shot doesn’t make it any less a foul - expand thinking to outside 18yd area - and expand “marginally late” (whatever that is) to one/two seconds - just because the attacker got the ball away...

Extend that to “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” / oh damn .. you are reading this on the internet… so believe this … or not 😂😂😂 The essence for me is - you understand the LOTG as best you can, you interpret them fair and in the “spirit of the game” - I would think you can...

Yep I get that - just wish the powers that be were brave enough to fess up and make that clear obvious - at least we can then genuinely say “it’s not the Prem” - in a similar many years ago, in another life” I was always extra hard on Sunday morning beer fed challenges - everybody has to go to...

I thought exactly the same - if there had not been a clear advantage to play then surely that was a YC Then the “confrontation” was either a YC or straight RC … imho I can’t see how he could stay on the pitch … I don’t buy the “it’s good/safe refereeing” to ignore the offence because he...

I was at the game and I honestly thought he did YC him … even said to my wife … “carded”, so really surprised it wasn’t 🤷‍♀️

😂lol I read too much into that! 😂

Thank you … that makes a lot of sense … I thought I was seeing things … understanding restored TY

Well into second half as I remember - do you think time had influence?

So it should have been AFC DB?
