    Referee’s Procedure in Case of a Mutual Altercation Between Players During the Match"

    Thanks for all that! For 3) if I stop the game for the pushing and shoving and there is at least one offence in there (the grabbing/shoving), is it correct to go drop ball? learning would either be as I see the conflict about to start blow for the free kick (so no confusion like this...

    Referee’s Procedure in Case of a Mutual Altercation Between Players During the Match"

    I had an interesting one yesterday… Ball going back to the goalkeeper with defender shielding and attacker just behind. Ball goes back to goalkeeper safely after a little nudge from the attacker on the defender (just about a foul). I gave advantage as keeper had ball in his hands and to keep the...

    Leeds v Everton

    @David F Might be the best explanation I’ve seen - been trying to think of how to explain why I thought it was a pen and yours is probably best! He’s moved his body (and therefore his arm) in to the way of the ball - therefore - penalty.

    San Jose vs Vancouver

    Had something similar to this penalty last week, attacker in the action of shooting and player with his arms out without pushing sort of blocks him - no one appealed but I did have a quiet word with the defender and told him in future to keep his arms down as any extra force would leave me with...

    Refsix (July 2025) and Garmin Watches

    I’ve had a few issues - I contacted them and they said they think the issue is with the phone and the watch itself - try loading up the Connect app before you load REFSIX and afterwards - it forces the phone and watch to talk to each other again - has worked for me so far

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    From what I understand, it is when 'in the opinion of the referee' the keeper has control of the ball. This includes when in the last few minutes they dive on a ball that they could have just picked up. It means the count starts then and keepers are not allowed 10+ seconds before they even stand...

    Throw ins- how far can the player get?

    Slightly on topic to do with this discussion, how do we all feel about thrown ins being taken a lot deeper than where it goes out? Say a defending team clear the ball, and it goes out around half way but the ball keeps going back towards the opponents own goal while out of play. The defending...

    'In the back Ref!'

    Used all of these, generally seems to do the trick!

    'In the back Ref!'

    Noticed my positioning definitely helps judge any fouls (or lack there of). Did actually shout 'no fouls' but as I said it it didn't sound right so haven't since!!

    'In the back Ref!'

    After some guidance from the hive mind on here! I've found the most common 'ref' shout from the bench is usually when the ball is in the air with two players going up for it, usually a centre back and a striker, and any time a centre back wins it the strikers bench will always give a shout that...

    First Few Games, What is “Dangerous Play?”

    Hello everyone, After reffing my first few games I’ve started to notice the things I’m not 100% about, the main one being what constitutes dangerous play, and do I give an indirect free kick? Two examples: 1) Two players going for a bouncing ball around knee height, player A gets there before...

    Luton V Swansea

    Obviously can't see in this clip but if the referee has a look down the field to see who the player could realistically be passing to that would help in his argument either way; no one was there so there is no way you were actually trying to pass it, or, there is a striker on the run who it...

    Penalty Incident Villa vs Newcastle

    No yellow! Thought it may have been because the ref thought, as no one in the ground really claimed for it, it may have been too harsh to send him off? I was watching at home and if it doesn't hit his arm it goes in! A yellow and a pen fair enough? (Even though that isn't what he gave) Or...

    Penalty Incident Villa vs Newcastle

    What were people's thoughts on the penalty against Lacselles last weekend for handball? No yellow card or red card but would anyone have given one had it been them? Denial of an obvious goal let alone an opportunity vs accidental, a penalty enough? If it had been given without VAR at a lower...
