Such important advice. So important that the club and their officials have to take responsibility. You can also imagine the worst case scenario: player refuses to leave and you start thinking about abandonment. If you have continued to deal direct with the player, it is very difficult to manage...

Not my favourite angle, makes the red too easy for me. I also think that’s probably very difficult in real time and yellow or red are justifiable.

I think no. Live I was blase about it but watching it back I was surprised there wadn’t more hoo-ha on commentary. Maybe foul outside the box. But there’s no holding that continues inside and no significant contact inside. It is awful defending though. But a penalty is the wrong punishment...

Was thinking the same. On one hand the YC is smart refereeing and as you say, avoids VAR. Kinda. But… if it’s as nailed on DOGSO as others say, where does that leave VAR’s non-involvement, AT’s assessment score, and the player’s number of matches banned?

Great watch. Really good on talking with players, simple calm explanations. Also great dissent cards in there. The audio is very selective. I think you could have a whole other edit where we would just hear all the “technical” dialogue between the officials. So, as a learning tool for aspiring...

I am not so sure about the DOGSO. There’s a second Brighton defender moving at pace that is a key consideration I think.

The opposition has told me that you’ve given away a few free kicks. Don’t make me leave the centre circle again!

Can’t be a referee as used the tags

Danger Will Robinson!

R U A BOT?

Agreed on trifling. Not a good word for players.

Argh read it wrong;)

Agreed. And match context is so important. In a harder match, if a player’s say… third foul is on 60 mins and it’s close to yellow, counting 1-2-3 and cutting that grass might be exactly what that moment needs.

“If a team has fewer than seven players because one or more players has deliberately left the field of play, the referee is not obliged to stop play and the advantage may be played, but the match must not resume after the ball has gone out of play if a team does not have the minimum number of...

Great advice. With players that need a ceremonial warning but won’t calm down, I do similar: look at me, this isn’t for us, it’s for everyone else here to see, calm down, let’s get on with the football.

All shorts should have 4 pockets, at least one with a zip!

Luckily I’ve had really good advice before about being careful and avoiding ultimatums: “next time it’s a booking”, “don’t make me have to talk to you again.” Don’t dig your own hole. But this can be difficult with cumulative fouls. Especially deciding whether to signal with “cut the grass” and...

Great read @JamboRef24 sounds like a cracking match and kinda normal for a match with lots of goals, penalty decisions and offsides. As I read I was thinking similar to the @Tealeaf …explaining key decisions and non-decisions doesn’t have to mean getting into longer conversations with players...

I have the pinky-purple Nike but I’ve only found one other colleague with it. My teams today have weird colours so it might get a run out if I can engineer it. It’s the best looking shirt I have. Oh no. I’ve totally lost the point of this thread!!!!

Absolutely. When alone, keep as many players as possible and the action area in view at all times. Always walk ceremonial free kicks to the outside. Basics. Always remind ARs to watch players at key times, like after goals.
