@one Fulham or Newcastle fan?

@ChasObserverRefDeveloper HMRC limit is going up to 55p per mile

In fairness I've never heard intensity pronounced for eloquent diction, I stopped listening after he said intent

"Kai, you've not gone for there ball" "there's no intent". Hmm, what was he trying to do then?

@Russell Jones Is that a high acceptance rate compared to recent years?

@Gabriel It's an incentive scheme (and not a particularly good one).

I'd always thought it to be a CFA fee, that email surprised

Even before the assessment days refs were promoted ahead of other refs who were higher on the merit table.

Allegedly fourth Official put the wrong number up. In general after a substitution is complete, can we allow it to be reversed up until the point play restarts? May be more to the specific Neymar situation as my Portuguese isn't the best

The referee shouldn't be saying the match is finished, it's not his job to apply common sense

Maybe I'm naive but I find a referee even suggesting this quite disturbing.

99.5% of referees will give a handball against an attacker if it hits their arm in the opposition area. We can say it's not a handball in law but in practice most referees are giving this as handball if they see it on the pitch.

Listened on TalkSport. Matterface said straight away that it was accidental and shouldn't be referred. Explained the law quite well. Steve Bruce spent the time opining he didn't know what the rules were anymore without committing either way until the referee stuck with his decision.

The SPFL have confirmed the referee ended the match, and didn't abandon it. I'd note normal full language for the end of match, ie ble the full time whistle, wasn't in the statement. If I was Hearts I'd be asking when this decision was reached and why the remaining time wasn't played out. If...

4th Official told MON there was a minute left when the goal went in so the match was abandoned?

On the flip side early all County FA staff are working from home, and many counties have outsourced the admin.

@Big Cat Scouts are coming. Generally agree with you, one thing I didn't like about the old system as every year a few would fail the fitness test, and that place wouldn't get passed down to the people who just missed out.

I'm at the point I couldn't care less about the decision made using VAR. You'll see on these threads people managing to justify any decision using clear and obvious criteria. The real problem is the process. Just kills what football is meant to be.

A few years ago, due to appeals, one Step 6 ended up with 23 teams, and the neighbouring one 17 teams. More difficult at Step 4 and above as the leagues usually have very strict finite sizes.
