No answer. Probably at his own game by that time. Will see him at some point soon and will check his criteria for passing pitches fit to play on. :)

Yup, once. He was a CAR who decided to unleash a volley of abusive swears over pretty much nothing. "You are also a sub today aren't you?" Bye bye. Happened to him a lot. He's a ref now. :D good too apparently.

It was playable. But I knew it would become unplayable. Subtle difference :D Luckily the game was over by the time I would have make a judgement about continuing. As I said, live and learn

...And when you get there, the pitch is awful. Looking at the field of battle for today on my arrival, experience says, sorry screamed out, don't do this game - it's soft and muddy to varying degrees of sticky and going to become a lot worse as the game goes on. Especially down the middle of...

A little lower on that page, second paragraph under Denying a goal scoring opportunity. For some reason copy isn't working. Anyway, it talks about the referee awarding a penalty kick. For me that implies that it has to be a dfk/penalty worthy offence.

cruciverbalist Because.

I didn't really have issue with the free kick - thought hazard was very clever to get into lallanas way and lallana was clumsy in barging straight through hazard as a result. My thoughts on the penalty remain though. Contact doesn't necessarily equal a penalty or a foul. Otherwise, as...

Disclaimer: I support Liverpool. Got that out the way early. :) The build up to Costa gaining a penalty. Question of a foul on lovren in the build up. For me, I'm not sure, might put that down as clever forward play. However, the penalty I am not keen on. There is minimal contact and...

We will never know as simon was miles away looking in the wrong direction! Klopp was being generous to his keeper there.

Mignolet was an idiot. Great finish from side show bob!!

Savage. :D

:D:p:p:p:D:p:p:p:D Awesome. The dangling hole where a piercing once was is quite an unusual problem. We do have one player local to me who has a pair of solid black rubber disc things which he puts in his dangling skin gaps. No more hole, no exposed bits to snag. I always let him play with...

Had a situation where early on a game a defender knocks the ball back to the keeper pretty badly, keeper has to dive to save it. Shouts for back pass ref! It is a backpass, but it's a crap pass and he no way meant to do that. Shout play on. Quiet word in the players ear. 2 minutes later he...

Welcome to the forum mate. I am sure he crazy gang will be along soon enough to throw their dubious wisdom at you! :D

If a defender deliberately plays/clears the ball and it hits another defender before going to the attacker it sounds 100% not offside to me. Comedy goal, maybe but a legal one.

Sounds dodgy. For me he should have waited and spoken to you in the dressing room privately rather than the public word. That said, I'm not an observer.

Very true. A lot less offences warrant a yellow in rugby. Far easier to manage as a result.

They do have them at grass roots. It's managed by team officials mostly with the ref having the final say as to when time is done.

Go get em mate!
