The Manchester City player in the OP's picture does not agree with your statement . . .

I am not aware of any source for the information - sorry!

Two weeks ago I was the Observer at a match in which the away team captain was sin binned for dissent 8 minutes before half time. As the players wandered out for the second half, the captain came to the touchline and shouted to me "I wanna talk to you later. Dunno what he sin binned me for. I...

British Universities and Colleges Sports, bit too posh for some of us 🧑‍🎓😀

Usual practice in World Cup years is to restrict the changes - we shall see. Presumably IFAB will need President Trump's approval to any changes?

There was an update around 2005 (@Peter Grove will know exactly) to say that tape was not acceptable.

Next question - have you confirmed that you are on the annual scheme (January to December) rather than the seasonal scheme (August to May)?

IMHO, red cards can be issued in all 3 cases. The injured player can stay on the f.o.p. to take the penalty.

I wore lenses for several seasons as a referee and AR, and rain/snow were never an issue. Good luck!

A trip, or a deliberate kick on the leg of an opponent with no attempt to play the ball? An important difference . . .

I agree, more thinking that the powers that be dont want their poster boys looked at wrong (thats not implying bias, just that these are the ones bringing money in to the league by means of clicks on posts etc which is creating more for sponsorships and, there you have it, sponsorships soar)...

Just remember not to say "swore" during the hearing - use LOTG terminology, i. e. Offensive, Insulting, Abusive.

Red card offence. Not heat of the moment, directed at you, public, ignored request to stop using unacceptable language. The manager may or may not have taken action, but it is likely that the player will be playing next weekend. As @one has said, first instincts are usually right. Next week's...
