As everyone has said, we don't know the facts. If it's a first offence and genuine accident then 6 weeks seems harsh but if there's evidence to suggest it was deliberate and/or other aggravating factors then who knows. Either way, I would be surprised if said 17 year old decides to ever referee...

Thats about as clear as I can get, but appreciate the help. I don't think it's anything to do with the battery wires as per @Steve Fall 's suggestion (although thanks) because I turned it on and held the flag buzzer while playing around with the different parts of it and as much fiddling as I...

I wouldn’t suggest it’s going to be the same in the EPL because they know it’ll be checked by VAR and KMIs judged, but agree at lower levels including EFL

I make it £250. Again, can’t see the benefits over refsix on a smart watch tbh.

My buzzer flags have encountered a problem. The receiver unit keeps turning itself off. These are refstech flags. Having spent some time playing around with it, I can’t quite put my finger on what’s making it turn off, but it seems to go off most when I play around with the bronze colour...

Was referring back to my comments about the Foden challenge.

It is a good tip when all else fails, and it usually works, however I have had it go wrong on a red card decision and everyone stands there and says 'who'? You feel like a bit of a tool. With regards to the captain, I've told the captain before 'help me out, I've lost the man, it's borderline...

Is this a generalisation? Or are you referring to yourself in the third person? 😆

I'm not sure there's enough force in the Foden tackle (shocker as it is) to make it an obvious enough error for VAR to intervene, but I would support a red card as the on field decision. As for the hair pull... I can't actually see it clearly enough to form an opinion. Edit: Just seen it again...

Double smug :smug: P.S. I don't work for IFAB, promise.

Correct, but you can penalise the pull at any time, you don't have to wait to see whether it gets in to the box.

I've always maintained, not from a law perspective, but from a footballing perspective, if you don't want to be given offside, don't stand in an offside position. If you're in an offside position, you're at risk of being considered to be interfering with an opponent.

Feeling pretty smug right now... it's about time I got something right :smug:

I’m intrigued as to how they are meant to submit this information to the match referee 7 days in advance when, for games on Saturdays, the referee is only officially announced 5 days prior

He played advantage from the Szoboslai foul on Haaland 100% and he didn’t see the other foul.

No. Which would appear to be an oversight / error.

aware this is friend of a friend of a friend type stuff so read in to it whatever you will, but I’m told by someone I know that is in the know that Dermot is correct and Craig Pawson just didn’t see the pull by Haaland because he was unsighted

It's a deliberate foul. Some would describe that as cheating. I'm not saying it wasn't warranted or expected. It wasn't a sleight on Haaland. See big Cat's comments on another thread. Everyone cheats, even us as referees.

Apologies, yes, that was my own wording, not the chap I spoke with who knows better! Lazy wording from me, and I do know the difference.

I've spoken to someone in the know (and in the know with VAR too) about these recent handball decisions. What he told me about the interpretation is that yes, for an arm to be punished as non-deliberate handball, it still has to be making the body unnaturally bigger, however the closer to the...
