Agree with Alex. Endangering the safety of an opponent. With a boot like that, IMO he is not in control, and could have caused serious injury, luckily he made connection with the ball. Red card. Move along. Player reactions here also suggests that a red card is the best course of action.

Report. It's the only option

I often pick this up when assessing. In open play, your positioning should aim to be at 45% degrees to players running for the ball. You are not running alongside with them, so can keep a peripheral view, but you're not running behind them and not noticing any niggly trips / pulls. However...

I'm sorry Herts - but how can a shirt pull in which you're going to penalise be careless? By recognising it as a free kick, you must caution. There is a reason for a shirt pull, and it is often to stop players gaining an advantageous position. A shirt pull is never going to be by accident.

This is not a two footed challenge, but I still class it as endangering the safety of an opponent. The challenge is high and over the ball - you can say it has a downward trajectory - but still could have caused serious injury. I don't see how there wasn't even a freekick for it though. I...

How about this one. Goalkeeper has the ball and can't pick it up. Chips the ball to one of his defenders, who then heads it back to him. He catches it and attempts a fly kick.

For a moment I thought you had a drone over an AR to review his performance!

With regards to your RefsCall beeper flags - I'm not really a fan of the continental style. A few questions... 1) I see you have quartered - are they different colours - e.g. like this... http://www.referee-equipment.co.uk/Catalogue/Flags/Touchline-Flags/TLINE-Full-Set---Quartered-FSB-SQ 2) If...

Thanks @SM - a part of me actually feels disappointed he left. It was fun. Onwards and upwards though.

Haha - I like. Did this happen on a particular post that I've missed?

Whats happened to MI? His account appears to be a guest account...

C1 - GC. Sorted

About time this thread got locked...

@MI posted this on the Mass Confrontation thread and I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Were all actions taken correct? Could it have been managed differently? Discuss

Keep yourself anonymous. Too late for that though! Mind you, I would never openly slate a referee on here (like some do). A referee may make a mistake, but then it is highlighted and discussed - so we can try and avoid making the same one! With your regards to you last post - county FAs hate...

I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree with respect to the assistant getting involved - differing opinions. By the way, there was no fourth official. As you put it, topic closed.

1) Triangle formed - good. Should have stayed there though. 2) Firstly, the far side assistant is too far away, he should be closer. 3) The dugouts side assistant whilst originally good, should not be intervening in the manner in which he did. In fact, the manner in which he did get involved...

BOTH ARs WERE PERFECT?!

Bloody hell - decent debate. I think I'll just sit back and keep watching this one.
