You have to touch the ball to be offside ref...was the one I got other week

Can I just check my understanding of this please...penalty kick, attacker encroaches before kicker has kicked ball should be retake regardless of outcome? Defender encroaches goal it's advantage, saved it's retake. Both encroach it's a retake regardless of outcome? Why is it a retake if attacker...

Yes. Thought would be case, wonder if every ref on here checks they are wearing them if said trackie bottoms are on...

Might be a stupid question but hey ho...do goalkeepers have to have shin pads?

What length of time do you get to the game before kick off? (Same time if ref and AR?)

He will no doubt have kids ones on like jack grealish don't believe there is a regulation size is there?

Oh ye, wasn't suggesting booking the guy who was fouled lol that wouldn't go well

Is it not arguably reckless to run head down in that fashion with the ball not under any sort of close contro and a opposition player 10 yards in front of you? Just saying...

He's gone for the ball knowing he will get the player as well that isn't the same thing as just going for the player. I think having thought about it a bit further it's reckless for me.

That is a very good point actually,the end point

I'm torn, don't like the way he went in for it particularly kind of shoulder first seemed unnecessary but then again he tackled cleanly with his feet there was always going to be a collision. Depends if any previous in game etc

He made it everyone's business more then likely. I think it would be pretty naive to think he quietly came out to his friends and family and then somehow the news papers and tv picked up on it

And nigel Owen is probably the only rugby ref I and majority of country could name off top of our head. No doubt enhanced his book sales, tv appearance opportunities etc hence my comments about celeb ref. Not criticising him for doing it in general just saying it might not be 100 per cent out of...

It's the central contract and tens of thousands of pounds in exchange for zero minutes playing time that undermines that ^^

No but I have read about it. Worth pointing out the lady who conducted the independent enquiry was a black female who is a qualified solicitor i believe I am correct in saying

Lol I do think we have it easy (white 28yrold) but I also do think it would suit the pgmo or whatever you call it if he kept getting promoted. Lots of pats on back for being so accepting and modern etc. Just wonder who arranged the newspaper and tv interviews etc. There's coming out and being...

Call me a cynic but I personally get impression he is doing it to be a bit of a celebrity and possibly help his reffing career. I couldn't care less about his sexuality more interested in his decision making etc on pitch

What's SPA sorry?

If it's a possible yellow and they score then questionable if needs to be goven yellow playing advantage bearing in mind they will have been making genuine attempt for ball. No 1 answer depends on scenario

That would be my reaction...what do you mean?(not least cos that was my reaction when I read it ie don't get his point) If he retracts it or doesn't repeat you arguably have your match control intact, he does it again 5 minutes later more literatley you at least have given some sort of chance...
