Does feel odd to not see anything and then give a blue free kick, even though it the blue kick that you actually saw. A lot talk locally amongst refs of 'what's expected'. I'd be interested in hearing if there was any dissent to the fact that you did give the blues a DFK. If not, then it...

Is that from Tevez's book, 'Down on the Farm'?

Penalty all day every day.

I would like to see this sort of challenge red carded straight away. For me it is dangerous and excessive. Players shouldn't have to play in fear of being tackled like that. However, put this up in front of the Local RA and they'll be some red, more yellow and some arguing for no card and...

They were only there to see the great Crystal Palace and to have a look at the big city. Proper day out. Didn't know Spurs were amateurs at the time.

Thanks. Can you a look at the answer to 5? Doesn't seem right.

Or SUFC by any chance?

Did it involve Corinthian Casuals at the famous Crystal Palace?

I'll go for Brasil v Argentina. Brasil had all the tickets because FIFA banned Argentinians after a belated VAR decision ruled out the cheat Maradona's handball.

@one. Many thanks for taking the time to strip back the law to its basics. I found myself searching a previous thread on the subject and the final position was exactly as you have stated above. I understand what you mean with the written law and purpose/spirit surrounding that law. I suppose...

Thinking about it, I seem to remember Man City players turning up in some. However, this to me is an equipment issue as a sharp pull on the snood in the box can have his head off. Can't believe a development league allows it. Checked with the league this player was in and the refs sec agrees...

One junior and one adult game this weekend have involved players coming onto the pitch wearing snoods. They were quite disappointed to be asked to remove them. Is this a common occurrence?

Cheers. The abuse happened after the game.

Cheers mate. Just had a long chat with the refs sec of the league to see whether this team has form. Turns out a level 4 ref refuses to ref them. Speaks volumes.

Out of interest, what was said so that you sin binned and sent off? I was yc for reckless today when the player said that's fecking rubbish I got the ball, that's ****e, introduced hand movement. So added a sin bin which turned into a red when he shouted you're a fecking ****. He then squared...

I've discussed this issue with my County Referees Development Officer (CRDO). This followed a mixed opinion of views last night at my Refs Association meet. My CRDO is of the opinion that you can award an IDFK for loudly swearing, without issuing a sanction. This is because under Law 12. The...

I read that as what the caution would be for IF I wanted to caution. The option is clearly there not to caution at all.

I was nearly certain that the reply would be as was emailed to you One. However, this is what happened: David Thanks again for your response. Just to confirm one further point please. In the situation that I outlined, an IDFK is awarded for ‘other verbal offence’. Under the cautions list, I...

Thanks One. A month's a long time in football! Perhaps David Elleray's saying that the 'spirit' includes verbal offences that are not listed in Law 12 and would therefore include my situation. What I would've wanted him to clarify on was the YC/RC point but I don't think my question was as...

Many thanks for all the responses. Really appreciated. Got me thinking that I’d just made a new law up – which probably wouldn’t have been the first time. Having re-read Law 12, I was either originally told or perhaps just assumed, that other verbals included the situation I outlined above...
