A) Slap the sh*t out of the AR for not telling you at the time. B) Laugh at Team B for only scoring once in 35 minutes against a team with 8, 7, and then 6 players. C) As X is coming back on they'll be up to 7 again, so I'd allow the game to continue (and obviously a report post-match) D) Find...

The sanction has already been issued though, it's not like there was a separate offence committed which the referee was unaware of. Obviously there isn't a definitive answer to this in the Laws as IFAB don't feel it necessary to legislate for a referee making such a daft mistake (sorry GP!) but...

Yes - was mentioned during the pre-season update Teams call, and the Step 3-Step 6 pre-season update document attached to the email sent out last Friday.

I'd be surprised if a player who shouldn't be on the FoP could get onto the FoP and interfere with play without the referee being aware of it! Regardless, the referee has become aware that said player shouldn't be on the FoP after the goal has been scored, and before play restarts. Same logic...

Said player shouldn't be on the FoP, having been cautioned twice. What else would you call that but 'extra'?

"If, after a goal is scored, the referee realises, before play restarts, that an extra person was on the field of play when the goal was scored, and that person interfered with play: - the referee must disallow the goal if the extra person was: - a player, substitute, substituted player...

Unless they've deliberately handled it, they wouldn't be making themselves unnaturally bigger, so no offence.

Ah fair enough, obviously I missed that one 😅

17 by my watch! It is, although aside from the above one I can't say I can recall any instances where I've thought a keeper was obviously taking too long.

Because the LotG stipulate that temporary dismissals are only an option for youth, veterans, disability or grassroots football.

It can't be DOGSO, so we can forget about that. "Kicking or carrying the ball away, or provoking a confrontation by deliberately touching the ball after the referee has stopped play", however? Certainly sounds like it. Maybe in a friendly I'd use my discretion (providing I'd already indicated...

I thought it was bad form for The FA to say at the end of January that "There will be no changes to the fitness test requirements for next season", only to then inform us mid-April it was changing from two to four sprints.

Is there anything official about the rest time we're supposed to have between completing the sprints and starting the interval test? Was in the final sprint group on Sunday, think we only got about three minutes before we started the intervals.

I want to see some Ted Rogers impressions on these countdowns (younger forum members, ask your parents)

Yes, the referee is free to change their decision to anything after watching the replays, e.g. if VAR recommends a review for SFP for a tackle that the referee hasn't given a foul for, the referee can choose to give a caution instead, or just a free kick, or an IFK and caution to the opponent...

Don't forget in law it's 8 seconds from when the GK has control of the ball, not 8 seconds from when he can be expected to release the ball. Maybe Turpin forgot to start counting straight away, maybe his counting just ended up being a bit slow, but ultimately we're now going to be in a position...

Last time I checked I can see my fingers in real life too and not just on camera, so I think it'll still work just fine at grassroots level...

If you get to 9 I'd be more concerned with your counting skills, seeing as we're counting down from 8 ;)

So, who wants to start... Ok, I will 😂 I think it's awful! Looks like it was designed by a 5 year old - easily the worst kit PGMOL have had.
