So theoretically you could have a situation where a player and a substitute are carded for dissent at the same time, one has to go off the pitch for ten minutes but the other can come straight on.

Out of interest as I can’t remember, does a sin enter sin bin therefore can’t come on for 10 mins or not?

Hi all I had to show the club assistant referee a yellow car for dissent today (names substitute on team sheet). I sent him to the bench and made someone else take over the flag. Correct thing to do or could he continue to run the line? Thanks

Hard with ARs. A tip I sometimes use.. If it looks like a close offside sometimes I play on if the flag goes up until the chance has fully elapsed. 9/10 the player doesn’t score and I will bring it back for offside. I will then say to any complaining players that I saw the flag but delayed the...

I have grown into a valkeen. It takes getting used to, I feel you get a better tone if you blow 60-70% rather than 100%. It’s hard to know how it sounds when you’re blowing it but people have commented on it being very good. I still prefer a tornado 2000 but I appreciate how it is more...

What’s your fav?

I sold it well by describing the above!

I personally think it’s a matter of subjectivity weather a kick from the penalty mark vs a one on one moving situation a few yards out is the better opportunity or not. This therefore calls into question the advantage rule in these situations.

Sorry that’s confused me. Must be getting late 😂

This is kind of how I explained it to the attacking manager. The original tackle did not stop an obvious goal scoring opportunity - it was just a standard fouls in the area ball was long gone. The resulting play was a better opportunity - an obvious goal scoring opportunity that the player...

In this instance, it happened so quickly that the advantage accrued pretty much straight away. However, it was not an unguarded net.

I know we have spoken about this before however.. Situation: attacking player is taken out in the box as the ball comes across, ball breaks to another attacking player who has a good shot on goal which is parried by the goal keeper and out for a corner. Is there anyone here who would be...

Absolutely fine. However - I had no way of knowing if his angle was blocked or if he had made the decision to not give the penalty until he came over and told me. At that point I’m telling him it’s a stonewall penalty as it was so obvious.

I was the AR .. it was my side of the box complete wipeout , ref thought he saw him get some ball from his angle.

Hi all What are peoples instructions regarding the giving of penalties to NAR? Buzzer and non buzzer. I had to give a stone wall penalty at the weekend that the referee missed and I followed his instructions to buzz but to flag. We got the correct decision in the end but it caused a bit of...

Simon Hooper is quite far away from the challenge. Impossible to see properly from there. Not saying he should have been closer as he obviously was expecting the play to move forward so was preparing for that. The assistant was probably closer to it than him!

Much like you might do in any game that is at risk of escalating?

I think this topic has been raised before and I know some of the answers to this but: I have been placed on a fixture that I have since found out, last year had 5 red cards and was a very ill tempered match. Apart from the obvious advice about not to expect too much and it might not be like...

If you give the foul in this situation you have to go red do you think?

You could also argue some holding back the other way from striker to defender which may have been seen better from the referees angle.
