I see where you’re coming from but where does it stop? I’m from Liverpool and have had a lifetime of the stereotype filled jibes. Some meant in jest, most not...is it a big deal? No. It’s accepted, countrywide. Should people be hung out to dry for it? Absolutely not. How about discriminatory...

I’m curious as to when offending someone became so serious, that a suitable punishment was to effectively ruin their career? Verbally abusing people under one of the various ‘isms’, fine, throw the book at them. I’m offended by idiots on a daily basis but you just get on with it. Who put the...

Im actually a fan of that James but as soon as a decision goes against x, y, z, because of the above then they’ll be crying for lines again.

Yeah you can imagine the uproar if a title winning goal is ruled out on the above basis, only for the post-match analysis to show if we had the lines, he would’ve ruled him on. There’s never going to be a system that suits everyone. They’ll complain no matter what. I’m not a fan of how the...

No idea where the 10cm came from but it appeared to be mentioned in the PL meeting so it’s safe to say we’re running with that. I agree they should throw money at getting the best kit they can, IF they’re to persist with calling OS by the mm. They might, but certainly not by next season after...

At first I shared the majority view on this...what’s the point as everyone will still argue about it being a toe over the line, only the line is now 10cm further back/forward. Upon consideration I’m all for it. In it’s current guise players are being ruled offside down to mm’s, when VAR can’t...

No chance. Not sure why they bother making up such rubbish. The more I think back to the course the more I realise what little it gave you in terms of preparation etc.

My course was told not to let the coin drop to the floor because when you bent down to get it, one of the captains could knee you in the head. Yes, he was serious. I’m almost certain it’s never ever happened.

Of course not...they’re on the same side 😉

£50-£150 a season!!? No chance. I’ve got these mate, not a mark on them yet and look smashing with a pair of denim flares...it’s the boot for all occasions. But yeah I get your point!

That’ll do me Graeme, nice one.

Does anyone know of any decent quality referee wallets? All I can find online are the rubbish plasticy ones that tear at the fold. I thought a leather one would decent, but not for £60!

Spintso is my backup for the occasionally unstable refsix/Apple Watch combination. I set it all up as if it’s my primary, just incase.

It doesn’t fly with me. Duration of the foul is irrelevant, yes he got his shot away but he was clearly off balance as a result of the pull, no advantage. Do we stop giving trips because there was minimal contact time? I’d argue force/nature of the contact is relevant in this circumstance. If...

The comment should be taken for what it is...a biased outburst from a frustrated football fan! The main frustration is how inconsistent VAR decisions have been, Liverpool have benefitted regularly from inconsistent/incorrect decisions. I guess that’s just co-incidence.... Going back to the...

It was as blatant as you could want it, for all of the referee, AR and VAR. I believe the latter looked at it for nearly 2 mins and came to the conclusion there was no foul! I’ve said it in another thread but I’ll say it again. If the VAR has to come out that evening and explain his decisions...

My second OA game wasn’t too dissimilar to this. At the risk of jinxing it almost every game since has been really enjoyable. Upon reflection I found I needed to make more of an effort to get side-on to the challenges for a better view. Same with offsides, we don’t have CAR’s in my county so...

Fox 40. Cheers Ross, didn’t think of you tube.

This may very well be the most random question ever posted but I’m struggling to double-blow (a whistle- just thought I’d make that clear!). I find I just end up with one continuous whistle with varying volume/tone as opposed to two distinctive whistles. When I slow it down to ensure I get...

Your boys didn’t turn up @Sheffields Finest. Seemed happy to take a low scoring defeat. ☹️
