There are probably privacy issues depending on the country etc. While it is entirely legal to take photographs and videos of whatever you want on public land, i.e. the local park, I imagine many parents would take a dim view of a referee running around videoing their kids. You also have the...

I don't see an issue with referees wearing body cameras, though I understand where rusty is coming from. If a player has already assaulted a referee then it's likely he'd happily keep going in order to get the camera. However, this is simply treating the symptom not the disease. If you want to...

I've not seen anything from my CFA about it, but if players want to take a knee then I'm more than happy to let them do so, providing I know in advance so that allowances can be made to ensure the game kicks off on time. Allowing players to take a knee might cause problems for the referee, but...

I think most things have been covered, however if you tell your players to always assume the referee is going to be strict with under shirts, shorts and sock tape, that is they wear the correct colours then you will avoid a lot of problems.

Thanks all, still stuck with the big "cricket pad brace" on my knee, and assure from the occasional ache if not had too many problems. Unfortunately I've got to wait 2 weeks for my NHS physio appointment, which will be over the phone.

I think the problem with using technology for offside is that you are always going to need a human to make the final decision. You still need someone to decide where a player was when the ball was played, and whether a player was gaining an advantage from being in an offside position etc...

well, there I was in upto my elbows when the french rooster got loose and I slipped in a puddle of baby oil and tripped over the feather duster...

Rolled over and must have got my knee caught in the sheets or something. Not the most macho way of doing it

Thanks. They did an x-ray and there wasn't any damage, but I'm waiting for an appointment with the virtual fracture clinic. I'll certainly be seeing a physio though, I've never had any knee problems of any sort before so this was a bit out of the blue, it ended up being dislocated for about 4...

Thanks, they ended up getting the fire brigade out as I couldn't get down stairs due to the pain (I had a full bottle of gas and air and 3 lots of morphine) It must have popped itself back in during all the moving about.

So I managed to dislocate my knee rolling over in bed this morning, and am currently stuck waiting for an ambulance. I know it depends on whether tendons have been damaged or there are any other issues but does anyone know a rough sort of time frame for recovery from this sort of injury?

Who are the other challenges by? I know Tranmere were talking about legal action after the got relegated based on points per game

I don't think they'd get very far challenging a refereeing decision unless they could prove it was intentional i.e. some form of match fixing. But GLT failing like that has cost them a lot of money, and it is only compounded by the fact that it wasn't picked up by VAR etc. That is a serious...
