I was amazed not a second yellow for a foul, but given a yellow for waving the imaginary yellow card. Would have been a second yellow. The usual early enforcement in the season vanishes. No wonder fans get so incensed and it makes our life harder every weekend because of it.

It’s tough when you’re on your own with no support from a neutral AR. You can only see what you see and deal with it. Everyone will feel hard done by as you missed so and so doing xyz. I now enjoy the tougher matches. Even when it goes too far as I have mentioned in another thread where I got...

Guys. It’s an u11 game without scores being kept. Saying that, apply law and do the coin toss and you cover yourself fully.

U18 boys with a lot of testosterone flying around. Only had a couple and it’s not a mass brawl, but a few boys throwing punches. From experience, it’s always one player who is on the other side of the pitch and runs 50 yards to throw a punch. Thankfully not had many.

He came onto the pitch and demanded it. That’s why. I was trying to not escalate the situation and just told him to back away, but I know I could have sent him off. I do struggle when things like this happen. Usually with boys matches there are punches flying everywhere, and I can’t keep up...

Thought so. I think REFSIX app adds it. Thanks!

Just posting as this has never happened to me in an u18 girls match. Team scores their 8th goal, defending player then stamps on one player, is obviously then surrounded by players and lots of pushing and shoving, she then throws a punch and connects fully with another player. Obviously red...

Actually this is something I am curious about. Is the 10 minutes absolute or do you add stoppage to that? I don’t know what the REFSIX app does, but I usually stick to its timings.

I thought VAR would be the great leveller. Consistency which can never be achieved with just the pitch officials. It has made every decision be analysed by forensic TV screenshots and ruined goal celebrations. Added more controversy rather than eliminate it.

That’s a terrible argument. Effectively saying that VAR have all the evidence and hence never make a mistake……which we know isn’t true.

Wow. The still is ridiculous. He twisted his foot round and caught him with the top of his foot. The tackle on Timba was far more dangerous and was only a yellow. I’ve heard arguments, but that’s a tackle……irrelevant. Bruno got sent off by VAR for less. We mostly agreed that was a red card even...

It means ex players believe MO was wrong to issue a red card.

The abuse is unacceptable. We all agree on that! Regardless of any errors.

The audio will be interesting…..I have a feeling they won’t release it……which will drive everyone nuts. If they do release it and he says Achilles red card as instructed by PGMOL then it’s bad again. Lose lose.

So MO thought he had hit his Achilles and hence sent him off! I agree with the conclusion. It’s not the worst decision, but it’s the wrong decision. Refwatch was interesting...

Btw. You know I respect your opinion and I just don’t agree with you on this. I have nothing but respect for you and your experience! ;) Saying that, you are wrong on this and once you see match of the day, I would be very interested to see your take on it.

Once again you are saying what you think should be the laws, but that’s not what they are. So what about a short pull that drops a player? If you pulled someone’s shirt on the street to get the last place on the bus you would be in a world of trouble.

VAR said they checked and verified that the correct call is a red card.

Feel free to watch the highlights here. I’ve just watched them and I’m always defending refs with my friends. I just can’t defend these calls. He gives a second yellow for what is a much more dangerous foul and for one we have seen people get straight reds all the time. And yes it makes a...

Have you watched it live? It’s late. And if there is no difference between a trip and a deliberate kick then the laws of the game wouldn’t differentiate between them and a trip would be classed as a red card offence. That isn’t the case. You are arguing on what you feel should be the laws...
