for me if I can’t get to the whistle before he’s hit the shot then I’m seeing where it’s going. Never would I blow when the ball is already travelling toward goal

Both easy bookings. No question

I’m wondering if it actually hit his arm. The replays didn’t look conclusive

It’s a red once given, but it’s also a dive.

Exciting times ahead, good luck to all involved! Met the criteria myself so an eager month ahead :D

I assume you should receive notification of nomination beforehand as well? Or is it a case of just wait and see when the letters go out?

Personally if they come up to me in a calm manner for a chat about it, I’d be more than willing to have the conversation. If they come in firing from all cylinders, it’ll be a very one sided conversation with me building information for an extra ordinary report

Partey gets himself across the ball and De Bruyne boots him. No penalty correct decision

Trying to be an impartial Boro fan, it’s one of those really. With the referees angle it’s always going to look like a penalty the majority of the time with the keeper throwing himself to ground at the feet of an off balance striker. It’s a mistake, but an understandable one Ultimately I can be...

In one of my games I wouldn’t be giving this but the decision is typical of a ‘UEFA handball’ and probably would be seen as being correct

Shame. I’m surprised they don’t have a better format than those online form submissions

On a slightly different subject, does anyone know how they can view their matches submitted into the match day tracker when going 5-4? I was going to email my RDO if they can produce a list but if there’s some way to view it myself that’ll be easier. I just want to make sure I haven’t missed out...

3 games back, he’s already served one of his games

Ignore it. If I’m named then I’ll let the FA know but if they just want to sulk about my decisions and call me ‘the referee’, crack on.

I was talking about the way he dealt with Mitrovic and Silva. I didn’t think there was any need for debate on the Willian Red to be honest, he knew exactly what he was doing

Well done Chris Kavanagh. Absolutely what was required, Mitrovic needs a lengthy ban

thank you. At least it’ll be down to opinion rather than incorrect in law, so thats good. I can take that

had a game today where I was being observed, all was going well however one point he picked up on was me waving down an offside flag from a CAR. Blue centre back played a long ball forward, striker runs in behind and is about 10 yards off the green centre back who heads it directly up into the...

The linesman should have gone to ground holding his back to prompt a VAR review

I feel like an actual punch would have prompted a bigger reaction from the blue team as well. A few players went running towards the referee but a punch I feel like would have had multiple people pile in on the offender
