If the ball doesn't hit the player on the floor (think its ANTONIO) t has to be a goal surely. Did Antonio stop Keppa from as the law states "prevent a player from playing the ball" NO Or by "clearly obstructing a players line of vision" Again NO for me.

Id still be there now if i was in the VAR hub. I honestly dont know what decision is right here, cant really tell if the balls hits the grounded player or not.

I think key here is why didnt the referee just wait a second later before he blew the whistle, then he can actually give the goal after a chat.

Yes very true. I imagine this one of them decisions that you'd give and know you're right but have the line of one team up in arms.

If blue team is attacking and has the ball in the opponents penalty area and you have to stop play say for an injury, the restart goes to the other teams goalkeeper. Honestly thought like all over the pitch it was given back to whoever had possession when the game was stopped.

Yes easy one that.

Yeah hopefully after a game or two it will all come back naturally.

Easy half for the referee anyway.

Reminded me of the Jagielka challenge v Wolves first game of last season when he seen red and i thought ok thats the way forward. Then Kompany done a very similar one on Salah (not sure if he was cautioned) and then this yesterday which was 100% a red card in todays game.

Hopefully it wont be too much longer before we are all back with the whistle. Is anyone else feeling a bit nervous about the return, im actually worried about what things il forget and what decisions il get wrong and ive never been like that. Ive had a nose through the LOTG book this week but...

What was the outcome ? Was there a red for the original challenge ? As Nij says above the near assistant got involved a bit too much, he was almost man handling some of the players.

How you can you penalise someone if they get the ball first..........................................

Surely we all or most of us tell players not to enter the box for example on a penalty kick !

I never said a word to the lad who put the ball over the line by the way.

Game last week North West Counties, referee tells both coaches before the game "we are not using sin bin"

Same here, i thought just the opposition.

Views on this. If a ball is going back to the goalkeeper and its debatable back pass do you communicate with the keeper saying "dont/do pick it up keeper" This isnt really a major issue but taking it a bit further, my game today ball played through forward goes round the keeper (tightish...

Sin Bin him.

What is your views/opinions on this. If a manager approaches you lets say like Ancelotti yesterday, he seemed very calm, didn't seem aggressive and didn't seem to be swearing (obviously without hearing the conversation we cant be 100% sure) If someone approaches you at the final whistle and...
