    Brian Clough's view of referees

    Wonderful stuff. Clearly nobody in TV-land was listening though

    Just need another opinion on something

    I get the difficulty with whipping out red when to those far away on the bench it would look like a non-incident but, for me, that phrase must attract a sending off. It is beyond disrespectful and tends into abusive, no matter the manner in which it is said. Loud blast on the whistle, call...

    Lemina Red Card

    The player has run thirty yards towards the referee. The referee has stuck a hand out and told him it's not on. The player has continued. Referee's fault?

    Goalkeeper dissent

    Depends on the rules. They're not uniform. I assumed this post was centred around the fact that he claims that the send off doesn't count. That being said, the norm where I am is that 2nd yellows can't be appealed mainly because the one week suspension would be served anyway.

    Goalkeeper dissent

    Second this. I'd suggest any appeal will be met with bemusement.

    Eh?-League: Macarthur v Newcastle

    Penalty awarded against MacArthur GK for a reckless foul after 45+change. You won't hear any dispute from me that football expects yellow but, for the love of god, this is red in rugby. Football's expectations constantly bemused me.

    LEE v WHU

    I don't think the chance was as good as a penalty - ball game slowly from his wrong side and the keeper was charging him. That being said, I do think advantage should be considered when making these decisions and then clearly communicated

    I must be stupid.

    I know this is the position of many, and I concur that the effect on the opposition was trifling, but in my view the offence in itself is not trifling. The subs were, minimum, 10 yards from where they were supposed to be. Everyone and their dogs know that the touchline delineates the field of...

    What's the latest time in a game you've given a card?

    EDIT, got the wrong incident Yeh, late challenge. Caught him in the foot as defender jumping to avoid contact. It got pretty willing in the last 25 or so minutes

    Verbal Abuse - Restart Question

    And what if we don't know who the intended target, but everyone else does? Cue: chaos As always.

    What's the latest time in a game you've given a card?

    Biggest cluster: Grand final in regional league From 62' onwards All three goals 1y 2 second yellows 1 OFFINABUS after fulltime Spectators on the pitch after fulltime Side that conceded all cards won the match. Correlation with intensity? Aside from this cluster, only two other yellows for the...

    Verbal Abuse - Restart Question

    I wouldn't do that if I wanted a logical interpretation...

    Verbal Abuse - Restart Question

    Not sure it's an offence 'against' anyone. OFFINABUS doesn't require a victim, unlike VC. The offence is made out upon uttering the words - it doesn't matter where the words 'land'. IFK no matter what, in my view

    Cancello v Trent

    But a push in the chest while jostling may well not be careless. It's still a push.

    Boca Juniors v Racing

    Can only assume it's a gesture well known in Argentina. My feeling is it has to do with bribery, but I am speculating wildly

    City v Fulham..

    No, I'm talking about the Cancello shoulder charge, as is the OP...

    City v Fulham..

    He has run directly at the attacker and behind the ball, has looked for the attacker and found the attacker. The contact looks relatively heavy and there is an extension of the arm away from the body exaggerating the contact. Pen for me!

    Top VAR drama!

    It would be because that's where the offence (interfering) occurred

    Just logical, really

    Top VAR drama!

    Are we of the view that if the VAR review was for DOGSO outside the area that they would not have come back for a freekick?
