In an otherwise really solid game of both football and referereeing, we're quite consistently not seeing these being given as PKs. I'd really like them to be fouls, especially as an attacker and they're easy free kicks elsewhere on the pitch. Once again, good game by Oliver and co. otherwise

That should be a suspension incoming and I'm not sure you ever get back to being fully trusted by any association

Into the Sin Bin I go What colour card though?

I have never seen a thread fully stay on topic Aditionally, I've not had a cup game go to extra time (or straight PKs, use both in NL) I did nearly do a Graham Scott and not send off after 2x YC before realising that he'd swapped shirts with a teammate at half time

I'm really looking forward to seeing the report for SFP on this one. It really lacks the force and isn't too dissimilar to a random hand to face which you also shouldn't do, but is just a foul. The Chiellini - Saka instance was more interesting to debate, a lot more force on that one and I...

Edit not with PSG in it obviously, stupid me

Yeah nothing to complain about both semis for me. Great games, referees did well. ~Time for our yearly guess for the final. Think Letexier might get it this year, who else is on the shortlist?~

Thought Timber was reaaaally lucky not to concede a PK against Kvara in the first half an hour. After the first half an hour, the game settled down and became quite manageable. Thought the officials did decently, few fouls given or not given here and there. About as good a semi-final game as...

Not saying it's the case here, but something I've seen with the non - FIFA refs in Spain is that they keep both cards and a notepad in one chest pocket. Incredibly confusing at times. And then of course there's Hernandez-Hernandez who never writes down anyone he books, but he also never...

Looks like it's well outside so a free kick. That season a FK might as well have been a pk for Messi, so no big difference there

From a neutral perspective, me and my friends thought he was absolutely excellent in at least selling the fouls and cards given. With them not being refs and even asking his name, they loved his style. Added time is weird, but probably the result of some directive as he often goes past time...

I really like futsal, and think ball on the floor for kick ins would work. In general, I don't like the idea of having to use your hands for anything to do with football and really dislike the ample 'that's not a good throw ref' each week. Timed restarts would also help with not every throw in...

Looks from some angles as a clear trip, not convinced by the angles shown to the ref. Not sure though, gotta have really good reactions to make that a convincing dive if it is one

Weird one, it's a red card where many probably would have gone red, and where we're also probably just plain wrong. Can't fully blame the official here

Yeah, no foul on Foden but that's going to happen sometimes. No handball by ake from what I've seen. Would deem it in front of his body, but the foul by Gvardiol is actually a decently clear PK. Overall not too impressed by Gillett yesterday.

Ref in the Madrid - City game was flawless as well, actually got a shout out from the Dutch commentators for it. Should Gabriel have conceded a PK for the handball after the substitution there? I like the sensible option of not giving that one, and in return, think Saka was absolutely looking...

Hi, After some interesting threads over the past few days, I came across this slightly late tackle. Anyone not going red here? For me, this is one instance I don't understand the on field decision, or the decision not to intervene. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/221s5ReVnv

Can't be piadm with contact

This one is really odd, still have that as a wonderful decision but there is still outrage about that call 13 years later. Have had that red card as my hill to die on for years

Normally I'd fairly easily understand the 'not C&O' stance, but this would be a textbook example of a boot to the chest, but not a sending off. To discuss whether or not it's a foul should really not be up for debate in this instance. It's easily careless, possibly reckless and definitely a PK...
