I think if VAR is going to not be used to review holding/rugby tackles in the box, that is fine by me but just state that is a decision that will not be reviewed by VAR and only be a CR real time decision. Personally, I think that is the way to go and the muggings on Kane should have been...

I wonder since AR's have been directed to not flag close offside and let VAR address it if they have any doubt, if VAR has also been directed to leave holding in the PA to CR. There is hardly a corner taken at this level without any holding occurring. I'd wager any replay would find a hold...

I realise this will be unpopular. Full disclosure - my two favorite non-USA teams are Germany and England (wearing my England Jersey now) but I'd have given the Walker penalty. I saw it in real time. He swung the arm in an effort to hold the attacker, striking him in the ear and held him...

Foul all day regardless of the touch which even in slow motion I am not certain there was or wasn't a touch. The ball remained with the attacking player who was continuing his attack. Absent the AUS player's leg coming across the back of the attacker's trail leg, he doesn't go down. This is a...

I thought this was a pk in real time. It was a very quick play and TV had a 90 degree different angle than the cr. Look at the video above. Cr had position most of us would have had. Cr had a much tougher angle to identify this than we did or var did as he had players bodies obscuring...

Icy Hot is the same thing only different company/brand

Surprised two things haven't been mentioned yet 1. My cards... or 2. BEN GAY / ICY HOT (I'm old)

You are misinterpreting my suggestion. Guess I didn't state it clearly. 2 or 3 views of a single angle. So if there are 5 angles, then 2 or 3 views of each at real speed. I am not suggesting excluding angles that could be beneficial. Just limiting how many times you can keep watching a...

I'm not saying dont view the other angles. I'm just saying at game speed and limit the number of views from each angle. There are not many plays at this level where if you watched every angle, repeatedly and in slow motion that you cant see something that constitutes a foul (holding, pushes...

One.... you are correct. I did not put the qualifier in there that these were not updated to reflect LOTG changes. Still good info for the topic at hand however

My backpack duffle bag. (UnderArmour SC30). I has enough room for my 8 shirts (it's how we roll here in the states), a shoe compartment, a side zip that holds my flags, referee wallet, pump/gauge, etc. It has some attachment points where I have carabiners attached for my car keys, water...

I haven't read the protocols in a while but my point being if you can't decide in one or two views at normal speed if it was a foul then it probably shouldn't be called. I think both the VAR and the CR should be limited in the same fashion

Here are my thoughts. I think VAR should be tweaked a bit. I'm still not decided on VAR in its current form as I think it gets misused. 1. Penalty decisions - I think seeing multiple replays and slow motion should not occur. Let the CR see a different angle at real game speed only once or...

Ball made of leather. I believe we played with large rocks barefoot back in those days

U17 high level stuff. Good game between two evenly matched teams. Two YC for hard late tackles. 4 YC for dissent. You would think after I give the first two for dissent and then verbally warn both teams that I have heard enough, that they would get the message... guess not. Oh well. Not...

Is this UK specific or do you want us in other countries? We have referees from around the globe in here

Public, personal (me or another player), and provocative..... see ya RC.

RC all day long. Dont care whether he was frustrated with another player, a call or a no-call. This is not acceptable and failing to address it will erode game control

Very hard to see if it actually touched the bicep I'd think based upon the description. I would liken it to this as it sounds like the player had time and intention to play the ball.... if the ball came from the side and the player did the same thing but with arm to his side (natural...
