    Kent cup ref highlits

    Surprised the protest wasn't accepted over that penalty retake which isn't really justifiable in law.

    Collision

    It's a simple rule. If there is a serious injury then we have to stop play immediately. Safety comes before fairness.

    Arsenal vs Chelsea

    We can take our pick for how Cucurella could have been sanctioned. Unsporting behaviour for the type of handball it was Unsporting behaviour for simulating being fouled Dissent towards the AR I'm assuming he received none of the above. Though I don't think you would issue 1 and 2 as separate...

    Millwall Vs Stoke

    Looks like a good decision to me. Initially some mutual holding, attacker stops but defender doesn't and looks enough to impede the attacker's movement. If you're a defender holding in the penalty area then you are taking a big risk.

    Advantage but offside

    It's slightly ambiguous from how you have described it. It seems most likely the foul occurred before the offside offence, in which case your actions were correct. But if the offside offence occurred before the foul then the offside should have been penalised. The CAR's flag came after the foul...

    New 2026 Kit

    It would make sense because the current Nike was brought in as a 4-year kit and we're currently in the 3rd year of it.

    IFAB says advantage can be played from incorrectly taken throw-in?

    Did not think this is correct, as the ball is not in play when a restart is not taken correctly.

    REFSIX and my head being battered

    I think you are supposed to press 'sync matches' first on the Refsix watch app menu, which you haven't mentioned. This video might be outdated but seems to show how to sync your matches I am on WearOS / Android so my own gear works differently from yours.

    REFSIX and my head being battered

    On the Refsix Garmin menu it should tell you how many games are synced and what time it last synced, is all that showing correctly?

    Liverpool vs Southampton

    Ticks the brutality box, but unfortunately the example set at the top for this type of challenge is not robust.

    Scottish VAR Review - March 2025

    Some interesting incidents here 0:26 - VAR 'factually' disallows a goal for ball out of play when the footage is not conclusive 4:37 - VAR 'factually' disallows a goal for handball when the footage is not conclusive 12:37 - VAR agrees with on-field decision that player should be sent off for...

    Flykicks Outside of the Box

    That's right, the only potential offence is handball so there is no issue as long as the GK has not touched the ball with their hands/arms outside the penalty area.

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    Persistent offences I imagine, if there's supposed to be 2 occurences. I'd tend to agree its unlikely to happen more than once.

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    OK I hadn't noticed that. I doubt anything is being put into Law and this will only be based on the harshest possible interpretation of persistent offences. As a mere mortal not subject to PL directives I think warning at the second, caution at the third is sufficient and can't be argued with.

    This isn't cautionable.

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    The feedback from the trials is pretty encouraging. Apparently it has only had to be penalised four times despite strict enforcement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cwyg7jyp82do

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    I am sure that if we believe a GK is seriously injured then we will stop play immediately and following treatment restart with a dropped ball to the GK. If we are doubtful that the GK is seriously injured, then they have hold of the ball anyway so there is no harm in letting the 8 seconds lapse...

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    There is no point only counting from when they get up, because then they will just waste more time on the floor. If an attacker is so close as to prevent a GK releasing then we already have what we need in Law to deal with that.

    Sheffield Wednesday V Sunderland

    1. Not deliberate, body hasn't been made bigger, no offence. 2. No goal, this is immediately after the ball touches the attacker's arm. It's about 2 seconds from arm touch to getting the shot away.
