    World Cup England vs Haiti

    The VAR announcements are good but could be better. (Below is copy pasted from another forum I'm on so I realise some of the ground has already been covered.) Regards the penalty shout when England played Haiti. The VAR check which flashed up on the screen said 'Checking possible penalty'. On...

    Handball Wording in law

    Handball is easy to judge. I honestly do not understand the angst. Once you come to grips with, was it deliberate or was the arm is in a weird position, you'd be lucky to give one a game. 99% of the time when it hits the arm/hand I'm yelling 'keep playing' or 'ball to hand'. They catch on...

    Absolutely disgusting

    Far out mate. Pass on our condolences. Just terrible. Let him know plenty of people are thinking of him. Has been the talk of the town.

    Absolutely disgusting

    Will just say about the hesitancy of players and officials to get in the way of this roided up freak. That team is full of wannabe, and actual gangsters. Just a few weeks ago one of the players from that team was shot dead in the carpark at the gym execution style over some alleged grievance...

    VAR - An Unconscious Bias?

    A disappointing aspect of the game that's creeping in is the fake injury and the eternity to get up after a tackle to make sure VAR has time to review it

    Australia vs England. (Womens friendly.)

    Thoughts on Sam Kerr's goal this morning. Looked off when the ball was played but then the defender underhit/headed the ball towards her keeper which was then intercepted by Kerr to score. Couple of things. Was Kerr interfering, was the headed ball back a deliberate action thereby negating...

    If the ball touches the ground before entering, the throw-in is retaken by the same team from the same position.

    No it doesn't. And if it does where? https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/the-throw-in/#procedure You can take it back from the line. In fact you can take it back as far as you want. From memory I went to a course and they explained it had changed. Happy to be wrong but if so can you please...

    If the ball touches the ground before entering, the throw-in is retaken by the same team from the same position.

    You've misread that. I haven't chosen a spot that gains me an advantage. I'm taking it perpendicular to the line and throwing it back over where it went out from 4 or 5 m behind the line. I can't see anything wrong with that. There's no advantage except by taking it quickly.

    Cramp!

    100% I used to buy Hydrolite (don't know if you have that in the UK) but it was getting expensive. Now in a 600mm bottle I put cordial to taste and half a teaspoon of salt. Done!

    Yeah just did it. No way can question 5 be a corner kick.

    Whats the earliest time you've given red/yellow card?

    Wow. I admire your restraint but if some bloke spat at me I'd be whipping out a red so fast it would make his head spin. Absolute filthy behaviour.

    To wall or not to wall... That is the question!!

    The LOTG also don't say you can't sit down and smoke a pipe when you take the field to officiate. I'm not sure how this is relevant.

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Yeah it was a bit of a big deal. Like I said elsewhere I have no problem with the yellow just wanted to make sure if this happened to me in a game I was doing the right thing by issuing a red. I sent 2 separate players off this season for DOGSOs on the goal line which was way easier to be sure...

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Cheers. I understand in this situation where he was waiting to see if the second shot went in. (I meant in any other circumstances.)

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Why would anyone play advantage in the box like that though is baffling.
