Up to and including Step 2 there is no limit in terms of sub opportunities. I don't know about Step 1.

This could be taken advantage of with a sin bin prior to kick-off - although if a referee sin bins someone before the match has even started and then fails to notice they've snuck one of the subs on so that they're still starting with 11, then god help us all 🤣

Competition rules. LotG only requires the names of the substitutes to be given prior to the start of the match.

In isolation, this seems like an overreaction to a fairly mild insult. Maybe there had been previous abuse from the spectator(s) and this was the straw that broke the camel's back? I wouldn't be looking to have a spectator removed from the ground unless it was a) persistent to the point where...

Pitch being playable (or not), pitch markings, ball flat/too hard, an argument about the competition rules, a decision from a previous game you refereed that player... I'm sure there must be a few more :D

Be careful with your terminology when explaining decisions - reckless would be a yellow, endangering the opponent would be a red.

Definitely the AR telling the referee at 51:03 that it's handball, and if you turn the volume on that video up you can hear the whistle at 51:07. Referee has been caught flat-footed and out of position, AR has guessed the 'handball' from 50 yards away and got it wrong, and VAR has somehow...

There's nothing in law to say that you can't give further reds after abandoning the game though, right? If it were 11 a side and I had eight reds to give, I wouldn't let three of them get away without the fine and suspension just because I'd happened to have already sent off five of their teammates!

Perhaps your time and effort would be better spent putting together some more constructive and less insulting feedback to provide directly to Centre Circle, rather than posting this here?

Good luck! Reminds me of a WNL game I reffed a few years ago... one of my ARs had been doing a Sunday League game in the morning about 45 mins away, which ended up finishing late due to a serious injury - he arrived at 1:57 for a 2pm ko 😅

I hope that's when you were planning on getting there rather than kick-off time - could be struggling otherwise 😬😅

Whatever time the pitch is booked for this afternoon? 😝

Given that it says collide, I would say they both need to leave. I assume the exception requiring it to be a collision is to stop players pretending to need treatment if one of their teammates needs treatment, so that the teammate wouldn't need to leave the field.

However, whether the player receives treatment is irrelevant: The moment the referee calls medical staff on, the player must leave (except for the circumstances stated otherwise in the LotG)

The OP says the player wants the physio on, it doesn’t state whether treatment is received or not.

I'm not convinced it's a foul, but I wouldn't have had an issue with the referee giving it on-field. I don't think it meets the threshold for VAR to be getting involved though. But I definitely agree that the pearl-clutching hysteria that resurfaces every time VAR gets involved with something...

I had to change whistle at half time today after my definitely real and not cheap Chinese knockoff 'Valkeen' went a bit peculiar as I blew for HT. Hoping it's no more than a bit of gunk clogging it up inside, but preparing myself for the possibility of shelling out a whole seven, maybe even...

I don't think you can really say that his arm is in an unnatural position though.

I find it easier to keep my counting consistent by doing it verbally too, but I'm not doing it loud for the whole ground to hear (too busy trying to get my breath back to be bellowing the countdown 😅)
