    When is a pitch waterlogged?

    Walk on it, press down firmly with your foot and if water appears, then it is still waterlooged just below the surface, which can be more dangerous than visible surface water. If you're not happy with it - call it.

    Signals

    Yup.......keep flag down. Eye contact is crucial - if I see a foul I look to the ref before flagging anyway, he is either raising the whistle to his lips (seen the foul and giving it), looking at me (not sure if it's a foul, needs help), raising his arms to signal advantage (flag going up as he...

    Racing Santander refuse to challenge for the ball

    So opponents work ball through the whole tea, score, then they refuse to kick off again? I remember Scotland had an away game like that once - I think it was a WC Qualifier, and their opponents had been ordered to play at a neutral venue due to crowd trouble. The opponents (one of the old...

    Open Age Instructions to Club linesmen

    We don't have any 'rules' as such, but I never ask CARs to do anything other than in/out of play. Having said that, there are a few who are very good, but it still leaves them in a position of possibly flagging a dubious incident and being left open to accusations - however good they are...

    Got away with that one!!

    Agree with Haywain, the old man is an outside influence/object and you should only stop play if you feel he/it is interfering. Although, what the hell was he doing there anyway?????

    Spurs v Man City

    Definitely a careless challenge, so therefore a penalty - and then by definition, must be DOGSO.

    Good set of clips to get some debates kicked off

    Give the voiceover a guy a red card !

    Abandoning due to Cold

    You can dehydrate even quicker by being cold, than being warm. Just 'cos you ain't sweating doesn't mean you aren't losing fluids, and trying to keep core temperatures stable burns a lot more 'fuel' than trying to cool down. In the cold, if you start to shiver (teeth chattering is an indicator...

    When to end play

    When the referee blows his whistle, assuming he has played two equal halves of 45mins (or whatever the competition states). ;)

    What would you do with this.......

    Lol...tricky tricky tricky. Laws 1-17 would say goal stands. Law 18 would ask whether thrower was aware of where the other attacker was - did attacker change direction in order to gain the advantage? Perhaps re-take throw. While it's never happened to me as OP states, I do tend to hold up the...

    When to end play

    Yup, time is up when time is up. Wherever the ball is.

    Pinching an Opponent

    I used to do it as a player, and had it done to me more than a few times. I think yellow for 'holding' if you see it.

    Will coloured kits be allowed.....

    I think it depends how it is administered. Here we have four colours, and are given the preeferetial order iwith which to choose: 1: Yellow 2: Black 3: Red 4: Blue Each team has to register their first kit colours, and away kit colours at start of season, so we have an idea of what to expect...

    Lee mason committing a foul?

    a b####ck! Definately a red card he was nowhere near getting the ball!

    Quenelle

    Again, being Devil;s advocate here, and i wasn't certain that the comedian had been convicted yet, but, yes, if so the comedian has been convicted for airing his political and religious views - so it is a very political situation, albeit that Anelka was simply trying to send a message of...

    Quenelle

    Can't disagree with you Dan, without these cases boundaries don't get set and things get much worse. I'm not disagreeing with the charge, or the process. My concern is that a French player, acting in support of a French friend, who is in trouble under French Law, in France, is going to be...
