What makes me laugh, after being a player in one of these time-out huddles', is that a lot of the information is just - "Oi you - get in to number 7s face', or 'Try and play more direct behind the left back' - hardly any great tactical insight (admittedly this may be because of the level I was...

This is the conclusion I sort of came to too, but only for the 49th minute offence - the 44th minute one I think is a foul on the defender as he is a lot closer to the ball and about to poke it away, the 49th minute one the defender just puts his leg in the way to purposely trip the attacker not...

Sorry genuine question... do we need to make them wait 30 seconds on the sideline? Or is this a hypothetical? If we do I have not been following that at all! :redcard:

At grassroots too? I can see a lot of officials at the weekend forgetting to stop the clock for every throw in, corner, goal kick and losing track of it all! Too far gone probably and equally as problematic but I think probably easier (just) to actually manage time wasting as it is now. A whole...

I personally don't mind this as handball - I get the supporting arm argument but the player has effectively saved the shot from going towards goal by spreading his body out and his hand has blocked it.

Where do you find stuff from Graham Scott? I’ve seen him mentioned a few times as being well spoken but cannot find any of his quotes anywhere (I’m not on social media!)

in the spirit of the law it’s a definite red (and I’m a villa fan!) - he knows it’s either bring the striker down or possibly concede, not interested in the ball at all so even though it might not tick arbitrary notes for DOGSO, in the spirit of the game it’s a classic professional foul.

I believe as soon as the final whistle goes that the game has ended, and that PSO is considered separate and so this would be a new caution (so if booked in game, they would not be sent off; this would be their first yellow of the PSO). As for dissent - don't know! I am assuming cannot be sin...

Haha - just watched the clip - does he ever go over or just leave the 8 players in front of the AR? I was waiting and waiting for the ref to appear!

I think the main grievance for everyone is that no one wanted that red card - City wanted the goal, and Liverpool didn’t want to have their player suspended

Wouldn’t say it’s ‘bottling’ a red - it’s giving a goal which to be honest suits everybody

Interestingly, I messaged IFAB today about what the restart is if I stop play to give two cautions for 'squaring up' to each other - the answer was a dropped ball to the team last in possession!

Sent off a 16 year old lad for turning to me mid game and shouting in my face calling me an F’in stupid/ rubbish C word. Manager straight faced said to me after the game that I had made an error as you can’t be sent off for dissent! When I explained it was offensive and abusive and therefore a...

I’ve gone dropped ball before and no one said anything but it didn’t feel right to me as I was dropping it. Suppose if there is a push involved I could punish the first push with a direct free kick? And if you could send the formula with full workings out please!!

Always wanted to know what the restart was when two players square up but with no real ‘offence.” What would it be if ball is in play?

Feel so sorry for the Ref

Very hard to review cautions I think, and it could lead to more problems down the line. As we have all said on this forum before, cautions can be either not given to help the flow of a game, given to calm it down, players given the benefit of the doubt early on, SPA is rarely black and white...

Say this happens, the attacker gets the ball down quickly, goes to play it to his mate who has a simple tap in but the keeper quickly blocks the ball, is that DOGSO or just delaying the restart yellow?

Had 2 in the same game not the same as this but comes under the “off players own foot/body on to hand.” Is it a blanket ‘no handball’ even if the arm is out (in one instance, the player miscontrolled the ball, the ball bounced up and the players arm was outstretched for balance as he tried to...

I should have been clearer! The ball was travelling quickly so they ended up being a good 15/20 yards away from the ball and the keeper - so keeper had an easy roll out either side of him as an option to start an attack the other way! There was no pressure on the keeper per se, which is why I...
