I feel I should point out that pulling a shirt alone is not an offence - it only becomes an offence if it impedes the opponent’s movement. It appears to me that the only person who impeded Young's movement was himself, by choosing to take a dive after feeling the pull.

You broke a bone in your foot, and you thought running on it again after a month was a good idea? And then refereeing and running 15k in under an hour in the space of one weekend two months afterwards? 🤦‍♂️ If it's still swelling up and so painful you can't even do a recovery run today, then...

I'm having a look through MOAS (yes I'm bored) - I reckon it was probably Chesterfield v Fleetwood on 3/5/14.

I've no sympathy for the individual whatsoever, but I do have sympathy for a club getting absolutely shafted by one moron of a coach. That being said, there are a few clubs out there where the people running them are of a similar attitude to this lovely person; seeing clubs like that go to the...

I've seen @RustyRef get angry with a lethal weapon in hand... £50 on @GraemeS to win please!

That's certainly the case in England, I can't say whether the club would be responsible for it in Wales though. In England the club would have to pay it, then go through the Football Debt Recovery process in order to get the individual suspended until the debt was repaid, but I'd have said that...

I'm curious as to the thought process behind fining him when they've banned him for life... where's the incentive to pay it?!

"It only becomes a caution if the referee stops play and doesn't play advantage". This isn't quite true - it is a caution unless the referee plays advantage. Which shouldn't be done if it's a second caution.

League Management Committee doesn't have any authority over referees. Whether there's any sanction against the referee will depend whether it was reported to the CFA or not.

Endangering the opponent's safety IMO: - head-on collision, increasing the overall force in the challenge - force is perpendicular to the opponent's leg, increasing risk of injury (I think the Millwall player's lucky his studs didn't get caught in the ground) - significant contact with studs...

Yes. Appointed ref needs to inform the league that he postponed the fixture, and the other person (assuming you mean that they're a registered referee) needs reporting to the RDO.

No, as there can quite easily be a defender in line with the attacker, therefore playing him onside. Point being how can an AR honestly say a player is offside when they can't see where the second last defender is?

Issue is that Maguire's blocking the AR's view of where the offside line is. Not giving something because your view is obscured is understandable - giving it on a guess is less so.

The ball was played inside the penalty area, and I believe the whistle was blown before being played again, so assuming my memory is accurate, the referee was quite correct.

Couple of things: - I'm not quite sure how a suspension that's both match-based AND term-based works... - Three matches or one month for tapping a ref on the shoulder to get their attention seems very excessive, especially as they're equating it to prodding the ref in the chest - The second...

Get it looked at by a professional. A few years ago something in my calf went 10 minutes from the end of a game (I too limped through rather than coming off). Thought I'd just pulled it, couldn't run for nearly a week, was back reffing a week and a half after it happened, ended up having...

Don't forget the extraordinary report for the further violent conduct after the sending off offence has already been committed.

This certainly used to be the case several years ago when all suspensions for red cards at county level were decided by disciplinary commissions rather than being the automatic match-based suspensions we all know now. By appealing the sending off, players or managers could delay the start of any...

A good clean challenge?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 you're either drunk, high, and/or an Arsenal fan. A miniscule touch of the ball here does not change the fact that it's a very obvious foul.

Is there someone I can speak to about getting back the time I've just spent reading through the last couple of pages of this thread? As @RustyRef can attest to, I love a mention of The FA's disciplinary regulations as much as anyone, and yet even that has failed to change my flaccid state.
