I've had the old "last week's ref" with sock tape. I just tell them "that's as may be but make sure you tell next week's ref that this week's ref did it properly. Change the tape please."

Hit the nail right on the head there.

Same to you Craig and ditto for all the Refchat members and readers. Here's to a dissent and assault free New Year.

What, like Hackett??

I've said "You've got your foul now get up and get on with it" very loudly. Had the desired effect from both sides!

If it doesn't go in, stay in position and face palm self. If it goes in run to the halfway line shouting gooooooaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll in a very Mediterranean manner

Rather than strike, wouldn't it be nice to give it back a bit? Shout "foul throw" at every throw. Any time someone jumps for a header blow the whistle and tell them "in the back". Player misses a goal "That was shocking player. What are you even doing on this pitch?". As soon as the goalie...

I recommend a big jar of Man the F#@k Up ointment.;)

Based on what you have described no offside. Deliberate play by defender. I dont think that there is any such thing as a reflection any more unless the player is saving/attempting to save. Have a look at the MNSRC podcast for Dec 14. It covers all of this nicely.

Up until you go over him, you cannot presume to know his intent. A player crouched over on a pitch cannot put you in fear of violence. However, if you go over him the assault (battery) is made out as he has caused you to suffer unlawful force (I.e. your contact with the ground).

Dissent any day if the week. Especially after you have had a word with the captains. Not misconduct however, but I would report it to the competition organiser though. If it were a league game out my way the team would be looking at a breach of league rules fine.

Yellow card for USB. Bringing game into disrepute. I would struggle to go with assault of any kind as he was stationary and did not put you in fear if violence. How could someone bent down on the ground put you in immediate fear if violence? Had you gone over him, different matter.

Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn!!!!!!!Can we now close this please Mods. It has gone from one ref slagging off another to other refs slagging off that ref or each other. Boring and not healthy.

I would say yes.

Cheeky bugger. I never thought I was! Mind you last year, when I went to see a physio about a knee problem, and having told her that I was looking to do an ultramarathon said, "well I'm not going to help you with that. You're a gentleman of a certain age and I think that the five mile runs...

Two months short of fifty. Father of three teenagers. Squaddie for ten years before becoming a copper. Now working as an Armed Response Sergeant. In my third season, going 7-6. Wishing I had taken this up twenty years ago. Started running for fun about 6 years ago and (when not overcoming...

No mate. That's a bowline. Or a reef knot.

Refs that allow games to go ahead when the corner flags aren't present. When I turn up and say that we need them all I get is "last week's ref, the Scots fella......"

And who goes and gets the ball when its been blasted over the net and you've blown for half time? Better to let the GK be taken and blow up when the ball's somewhere near you.

Hand off? In football?
