Just out of interest, did the player who shouted actually distract the opponent? One of the situations I hope I never find myself in, it's hard enough explaining relatively clear decisions to players who don't know the LOTG!

Don't want to derail, but tail end of last season I had a Leicester Derby in the UCL. Ended with 10 cards (2 were double yellow-red and a straight red). UCL division 1 is all more north teams this season so hopefully little Leicester based shenanigans for me to get involved in!

Anyone any thoughts on players surrounding the referee? We were told at development days that it should be an extraordinary report when there's a few players, and I think there's at least a couple of times there is. Granted not something you're always thinking about at the time, And...

Third one, I think I can see a case for excessive force or brutality, but I can also see for USB. I'd like to see it at normal speed, ideally.

Thank you!

Everyone on the Leicester level 4 has passed. Including me 😁

Did you see this on the same Tiktok I did recently? For me, I think you're really stuck between a rock and a hard place. And if it all kicks off on a Sunday morning, it's not a place I would want to be. I think I would allow the goal, provided the player doesn't do anything towards the...

4th official Sunday League? 😂😂

That's not how it works though. It's the way/manner that you make contact with a player. Not the fact that you just make contact. Plenty of contact is 'normal football contact'. But last night's foul wasn't.

Having many a debate with fans + some refs who don't think it's a pen, including a couple of second season 4's. Pen for me, called it on first replay as Kane was getting treatment.

Did you type some of this on your phone in the rain? 😂😂

I thought it would be given on review, arm away but moving towards the body rather than away so can see why it wasn't given. Did surprise me it wasn't given though.

Could you have been being too full on? Too much talking? It's about judging how much to say and when. If it's nice and free flowing and everyone is playing ball (pardon the pun), then I'll not be too involved. But if it's a period where I could lose match control because I've had the tackles...

I have to say, I agree with this. I talk to players in my games, proactively try and prevent offences ("steady steady, nothing silly lads, eyes on the ball (when it's dropping in the air etc)), and find this helps. I occasionally hear from teams as well that referees that don't communicate are...

Could you do Central Midlands Regional Football Alliance by any chance? Or u18/u21 leagues, midweek? Anything like that? Edit - Also, Leicestershire Senior Football League, and if you do get on the UCL, I might see you next season 😀.

I've just put the game on and it's really annoying me now you've pointed it out!

If I go back down to 5, I'll be the same. Though I am mid 30s and don't have the pressure that the young uns tend to have.

Yes, I was joking, as I remember it being in the news at the time.

I don't have any of the issues above, I find rock paper scissors works for me, even at supply league level... 😁😁

I expected the female on the commentary with the 'rules' to have at least mentioned SFP, I don't recall hearing it from her. Maybe she's going off a different set to the usual 'laws'.
