Thanks for sharing @RefJef and if indeed the referee reported themself then absolute Kudos to him for fronting up to that. Hopefully the FA appointments will roll around again next season. Best wishes for the rest of this.

Missing an apostrophe. Must try Harder 😘

This. Providing the red player was 4m away when the ball touched the floor

Text from law 11. The last part.which covers order of law 11 and law 12 in offside situations. I'm not sure this applies as from your description they aren't in the way of the opponent and the opponent doesn't move towards the ball. Not a great way to introduce yourself to the forum. There is...

I asked AI and got: The difference in blood rules between rugby and football (soccer) primarily comes down to balancing player safety with maintaining the flow of a continuously played, highly physical sport like rugby. The perception that rugby players "play on with open wounds" isn't...

Until you give a corner 🤣

Wait til you have to do it as a ref... Totally messed up.

An alternative would be to change the end that they are operating from too.

Will have to keep Kes on his toes 'til at least spring then...

Yes that's the one I was referring to.

My view is that this is okay. I was always comfortable with this before as well - again not looking for trouble and the spirit of the law (in my opinion of course).

I think what's interesting is that the AR's call, "line of sight" is not the decision that is confirmed by the VAR and AVAR who says obvious action which clearly impacts the goalkeeper. That to me is probably a the on field decision is wrong, in terms of the actual specifics of the offence, and...

Get that now at step 3/4 and they just don't understand that there's no multi ball allowed and can't comprehend that the balls wouldn't be coming on as quick for the other team.

Yes, many of the reports against moderator's are generally frivolous, though. If you don't like how the forum is moderated, posting here is a choice (until it isn't!). I'm sorry but this is just untrue. If you have a grievance with anyone then I suggest you take it up with the owner of the...

As a mod I read practically everything that gets posted on here. Usually defences comes in the form of: I can see why they made /did not make that decision A belief that the decision is correct which is perfectly acceptable when applying subjectivity. Neither of these are blind defence...

Its not a discussion but if you listen to the comms the referee will usually state the on field decision and why which I am sure the VAR has access to.

If that's what you believe then I can only tell you that you are mistaken and we close threads when they are just turning into petty arguments and point scoring Again this isn't really what happens, I've never seen anyone on here just blindly defend a decision. A lot of learning comes from...

Obviously take care to not say that's 30s 10 times and then only add 4 minutes on.

Depends where it's going. Into or near to the goal it's a save. No offence

I'm going to guess that you aren't a referee yourself. On the boots issue he is checking the boots to ensure they aren't unsafe, e.g. sharp, or missing studs. There is no requirement for him or any player to wear a specific type of boot or footwear. Have you raised concerns to the county fa...
