    Open Age Dealing with 'Main Character' players

    Yes. Bas typing on my part. I generally go with run the risk of a caution but fair point

    Open Age Dealing with 'Main Character' players

    Dissent can only be committed against a match official. What you are describing seems to be flirting with unsporting behaviour. We manage this in the same way though. Pull him in, explain the behaviour you are unhappy with and maybe why if it will help, and what will happen, i.e. a caution...

    West Ham v Nottingham Forest

    Does the ball not rebound off the west ham player after the tackle. If so it's offside and not a deliberate play consideration situation. The direction and motion of the ball makes me suspect it does. Pen for me.

    Everton vs Wolves

    https://www.skysports.com/football/video/33727/13270926/why-jack-stephens-was-shown-a-red-for-pulling-marc-cucurellas-hair Haven't seen it but Howard Webb explains here why a pull/tug of the hair is considered as violent conduct. There was also a time when mike dean didn't send for review and...

    Law Question

    "Except as outlined in Law 12.3 and the VAR protocol, a disciplinary sanction may only be issued after play has restarted if another match official had identified and attempted to communicate the offence to the referee before play restarted; the restart associated with the sanction does not...

    Level 4 referee averaging above 73

    Observer ranking only makes up 60% of your merit table position. Laws of the game 15% CPD 15% Club ranking 10% The FA have moved away from AA/AB and now only look at the top ranked match officials based on above. I would guess depending on numbers needed etc. You'd need to be at least top 5 is...

    Tourette's

    No. His Tourette's syndrome is special category data so you would absolutely need his/their parent/guardians (age depending) consent. I think it you didn't mention his name or club you may be able to send out some general advice on dealing with the situation/condition.

    True Story...

    I got talking to a guy in a bar and he said he was a big pop star in the 80s, I thought he was lying, but he was adamant

    Level 4 & above fixtures

    As above. Geography and concentration of officials locally and nationally plays a huge part. We've a few south west clubs struggling at step 4 this season too so potentially be even less games next season.

    4-3 How many assessor assessments required?

    Min of 4. I think there is a caveat where they can look at how many everyone has had so if everyone had 3 then they could use that. But the criteria is 4.

    Offside/penalty

    Well as you've described it it sounds like it should have been if it occurred before the offside happened. Hard to say definitively without seeing it.

    Tottenham v Liverpool

    Have only seen the Romero 2nd yellow..lacks force/brutality and was petulance. 2nd yellow felt correct.

    Crewe v Bristol Rovers - Keeper Error (DOGSO-H?)

    I had him collecting the drop just on the line and then carrying over. See the IFAB post from @ARF

    Crewe v Bristol Rovers - Keeper Error (DOGSO-H?)

    Because the keeper carries the ball out. Not DOGSO. Keeper is in control of the ball therefore control, or likelihood of gaining control is unlikely. Direction of play is away from goal. Not even a caution for me. Handball. Direct free kick.

    Man City v Brentford

    I think what happens is the bit we are all subsceptible too which is we take the picture at the wrong time.

    Man City v Brentford

    Agree. DOGSO for me.

    Gomez challenge on Wirtz

    No it's about the fact that you are coming here to referee bash (wrong place!) and clearly based only upon the team that you, based on recent postings/evidence support, which then gives a whiff of suggesting something else is going on against your team. We can't be any clearer, we won't accept...
