    Can it get any worse?

    There's a difference between doing something stupid and exposing yourself in public! If a 14 year old doesn't know that's wholly inacceptable, then something has gone very, very wrong in their upbringing

    Can it get any worse?

    “Minor offence” to expose yourself in public to another human being unconsensually?

    Can it get any worse?

    Is it shocking that a man exposes himself and asks a woman to perform sexual acts without consent? Yes, yes it is.

    Can it get any worse?

    Exactly this. It’s shocking behaviour that people think it’s acceptable to act like this

    Sin bins

    Really? I was under the impression 2 dissent cautions meant they could be subbed after?

    Sin bins

    My understanding is they would serve a further 10 minutes and then could be replaced at the end of that time period, providing the team hasn't used the maximum number of substitutes. One question that I do have though is if a sub commits and act of dissent that they are cautioned for, I presume...

    Triple save and...

    Shocked people are even considering giving this. Absolutely nothing wrong

    Just got my promotion letter.

    Huge congratulations, well done! What sort of standard is that where you are out of curiosity?

    Derby Penalty

    He comes through and clips him from behind on the shin before getting the ball. I think it’s soft and impossible to call in real time but I don’t think giving a penalty here is wrong

    What to write at substitutions

    Depends what league requires - often you’ll just need to know who has come on so the number of the player will be helpful. Check the league rules/team sheets if they exist

    Junior/Youth "Surely that's only a yellow at this level ref"

    What does age have to do with it? PC seems to be a term coined by those opposed for whatever reason to treating others with decency. Would you sanction such a remark if you refereeing?

    Junior/Youth "Surely that's only a yellow at this level ref"

    If, on account of your religious beliefs or otherwise, you say that gay people are going to Hell, that is an inherently homophobic comment. Nothing to do with political correctness, it’s just basic human decency. I can’t believe I’m even having to say that

    Citizen Foxes

    Masterclass from Mike Dean so far really. Not put a foot wrong. One of the country's best, shame he's not 10 years younger

    Question

    Not in the UK. Until you’re 16, you can only referee one age group below and younger

    Mags v Reds

    Look at the reverse angle where you can clearly see his hands

    Interfering or not...

    The only way I could see the answer being yes is if he dived forward to save it. If the shot is in the air the whole way (as it seems in this case?) I don’t really think there’s much of a case to answer? Difficult one

    Interfering or not...

    What offence had been committed? How does the attacker’s positioning there, when we’re clear there’s been no view obstructed, affect anything? Sounds fine to me

    Mags v Reds

    Why is the AR in the process of switching hands then?

    Mags v Reds

    The arm across looks like it’s unbalanced Fabinho, you can see the AR about to switch hands there but then pauses. I think the foul is for the initial contact rather than the flop

    Bournemouth v Spurs

    I can see the argument but it’s more of a push for me. No arguments with a red though
