    Funny!!

    To play devils advpcate; What about when a player charges in all aggrieved and tries to kick the ball?

    Petr Cech penalty

    Also is the fact that the faster defender was getting the ball, which was going wide anyway. I really would have preferred him sent off, so it pains me that that he rightly stayed on! ;) many reruns or match of the day confirm that decision, despite me wanting it otherwise!

    Was I correct?

    I do see the sense in what you are saying; the laws as they are now massively favour the attacking team. I agree with that part. I just don't agree that referees should try and rebalance this on the pitch. The problem is with "deliberately plays the ball". Defenders need to catch up with the...

    fitness test thoughts

    While undertaking a fitness test this morning, amongst our number was a gentleman who was incredible worried before we started. It seemed the first part of the test had taken quite a bit out of him and the stamina part was looming and he looked concerned. A few of us had done the test before...

    Was I correct?

    I don't disagree with you on the fact that some of the laws of the game don't help the grass roots ref. However, failing to uphold the laws of the game as they now are does do a major disservice to the next referee who follows you. Perhaps this next ref doesn't like all the laws of the game...

    Was I correct?

    The defender has tried to deliberately play the ball, goal stands. Good call.

    Buzzer flags

    I agree with Ross. I hated being AR and using refscall flags. Horrible experience. Second only to a ref who ingeniously made his own flags out of a brush handle and some nylon material - in the wind it was like getting whipped when the things hit your expose flesh :blackeye: Also, Padfoot has...

    Open Age Apparently I'm being reported...

    I wouldn't even waste a second worrying about it Dylan. Number of times idiots have said "I'll report you..." and of course nothing happens... it's a lot. Of course, almost 100% of those occasions they, or their teams, has been reported for some reason is another story (be it send off, cautions...

    What is "dissent"?

    "That is..." = dissent "You're a ... " = potential offinabus/at least a caution for dissent.

    Ankle Stiffness

    From recent expience, doctors aren't the best people to ask. Physio is the best course of action, but costly this is likely to be sadly. :yodaemoji!

    Beware!

    With regard to the OP - :D Good luck charging a referee for the cost of a game. Would be amazed if anything in the CFA rules will support that. Would anyone here pay that? Of course we would all know the cup rules so it wouldn't apply to us anyway... ;)
