    Times Players Have Corrected You (Correctly)

    Great stuff. A long time ago captain takes a windy throw in down the line. I flag for it the other way. He screams at me “why, why, why”. He was right, the ball hadn’t entered the FoP and it should have been a re-take. He would not let me forget it for the whole season!

    Man Utd vs Man City

    Football surely expects a red card. At all levels. And the fall out is just window dressing. Kinda ironic that Doku’s foot to chest on Mac Allister went unpunished. Short memories!

    2026 Potential Law Changes

    I think they saw the video of my double DOGSO advantage goal - followed by no cards 🫣 - and realised I was right!

    Location of free kick - off the ball (SFP)

    If you don’t know who started it then guess the defending team gets the DFK - safe.

    AFCON Final

    this. Seemed like a referee not familiar with VAR. it was a bad decision but the whistle timing was criminal. At the other I am OK with the VAR penalty. Headlock at the dropzone. Stupid defending. I think Mendy and one Moroccan got yellows once the players were back - but I think for the...

    Port Vale Vs Blackpool

    I don’t watch enough Champo for overall context. I think it looks really bad… but the actual contact would not result in a premier league red card. At grassroots I think it’s an easy red. I was expecting yellow here. Very stupid from the player. No need. Can cost the match, points, play-off place.

    Refereeing Decision Request – Challenge Assessment

    Not futsal🫣 Futsal = hard surface, typically basketball/handball courts and often walls/benches uncomfortably close to the playing area at grassroots - all of which mean tolerance may be very different for sliding challenges, challenges leading to falls, and pushes close to sidelines. Anyway...

    Contact lenses

    I have worn contacts for over 1000 matches, including insane snow, wind, rain and heat. Touch wood, not one has folded, fallen out or split during activity. Twenty years ago I used to get dry eyes - until I found a type that works for me (30-day Total30 and their “100% water surface” - and...

    I would have got this wrong …

    Hmm… I don’t think football expects IDFK and all the drama here. (Even) In a bigger game I’m happy with play on - and when the referee says to the assessor “I saw it like a seal dribble, an unnecessary bit of showboating” I’d swallow that.

    Fulham v Liverpool

    If the TV showed the wrong frame - and too quickly - surely that should be the headline?

    Mic’d up

    Just before the Everton red card for the handbags to team mate (yellow better IMHO) I was quite stunned that Webb supported the yellow for the Wolves (? Vs Palace) two footed stamp. Easy red surely. Not a footballing action. Out of control. Moderate force but whole bodyweight, contact by studs...

    White Brits pay more for Ref course

    Where I am (not UK) there is a glass ceiling. Under 26 only promoted to top three leagues. Under 26 only access to “real” training courses. Even though there is some small print that stops it being “official” and discriminatory, I was told when I started top three leagues was impossible...

    City vs Liverpool

    clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball… can anyone please educate me how this was fulfilled? I have a horrible feeling Webb is going to be apologizing for this tomorrow.

    City vs Liverpool

    The sad thing for football is that was a season defining moment. The kind of 100 million pound error that VAR was supposed to prevent.

    City vs Liverpool

    Is it an obvious action that affects the opponent’s ability to play the ball? “making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball” I don’t think so. The GK has a great view and makes a great attempt at a save. I don’t see how an offside offence...
