Sorry, but Mourinho has no respect for the game, it's spirit, his opponents or their management team. I have said this for years, and this just sums him up for me. As for Sherwood slagging his players? Well, we all know how he was as a player, he expects and demands the same commitment from...

We have teamcards, handed to the ref before KO, with names and shirt numbers INCLUDING the named subs. RORO subs are easy, they are allowed 4 subs that can be rolled on/off as required. All four are named on the teamcard. Any cautions or cards are recorded the usual way, name, number offence...

THat was my thought as well, unless all players are wearing the same, it contravenes the LOTG

Once they are playing the full game. 11-a-side on full pitches, then they get the full LOTG from me. Here it is at u13.

Yep, not your responsibility to make sure all players are eligible to play.

yeah, that too :confused::confused:

Nah, if you've ever me sing, then it's out of tune lol.

OK, looking from 'the other side' here are 22 players, who have been in the game in good while, who get a guy in the middle who they've never seen before? THey are going to push your boundaries, whether or not they are aware it's your first OA game. They will try and play the ref, to see if you...

Yup, if done to distract an opponent, then it's USB

Nah, the appointments guy is quite tall and slim TBH :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

You see what i did there? With the apostrophe an' all...... :):):):):):):):):):)

LMAO - which is exactly what should happen to Mr Pardew - a goat's butt if ever I saw one lol

That's my point Mick. Any challenge for the ball asks for there to be a decision or judgement from the referee - the first being was it fair? What is fair is largely defined by the LOTG, however, I still believe that a player can commit a foul without making contact with the opponent...

Cool, I'll stay that way then - to hell with the diet!

I really can't comment on how things are done in your neck of the woods, but I am 'discussing' with my appointments secretary the way forward for me. I would like more games in the middle, but I get (to my mind) too many games on the line, at a higher level of game.

Can't disagree with those points when deciding what, or if it's a yellow card offence. However, with ANY challenge for the ball we have to judge whether it is Fair, Careless, Reckless, or Excessive. There doesn't have to be contact with the opponent for it to be careless.

Not what I said at all Frank. Pardew is not shy of the publicity. By the way, is 'Facepush' a word now? I've heard it around lots pf places. Pushing someone with your face? It was a headbutt, not a hard one, but it was a headbutt.

I've got one. Yes is a great watch, but as with most things, there are a couple of things I don't like. If you are new to refereeing, I would save your pennies and hold off on buying one to be honest. At least until you have a good number of games under your belt and are experienced enough to...

Woah! Ref got the initial decision spot on, ball hadn't crossed the line, Suarez red card for DOGSO-H. Penalty taken, hits bar and goes over - BUT two Uruguayans encroaching. There should have been a retake, and another until the kick is taken withing the LOTG and carry on. To suggest we, as...

Damn, really? Even us tubby middle-aged and balding ones?
