    Times Players Have Corrected You (Correctly)

    Had this happen in my most recent observation (SPA trip). Fouled player was faffing around with his shin pads and taping his socks, then took a drink, then was re-strapping his wrist (an appropriate injury for the player in question ✊🍆) and we're all ready to restart. Tough kitties big lad, you...

    First match abandonment & mass con

    Don't forget every CFA has Rule 215.B(iv) which states that they, and I paraphrase slightly, can: Make up any old b*llocks and find another rule to justify it.

    2026 Potential Law Changes

    The ball out of play at a corner thing is truly mad. Absolutely the result of one braindead dinkus seeing it bend out of play in a game he was at and his team "scored" with the lino's flag up. Player being subbed having a 10 second clock to leave the pitch: equally bonkers. STOP MAKING ME...

    BUCS

    Have never received team sheets for BUCS in any tier. Tier 1 very competitive. Tiers 2-4 less so. Sin bins apply ✅ Edit to add: BUCS Play app is good for tracking fixtures/tables. Don't have to be a student to register.

    Law Question

    Regarding the quoted passage of Law 5, the Referee *hasn’t* decided to send off at the time the injured player leaves FOP. It’s information made available to him afterwards. In all cases, off you pop 🟥 Cheerio! 👋🏻

    Can’t wait to see where this is going and then, ultimately, probably feel quite stupid afterwards 😂

    Fulham v Liverpool

    Open Age Un...bloody...believable
