I can't believe that no one has backed our colleague's decision by saying that from his angle it looked like a dive, which is why he gave it. He didn't have all these other angles to look at. Grealish also wraps his foot behind Zaha's to try and make it look like a foul.

You lot go and play your own premiership game then. If you can't see the problem, you are the problem.

You missed the one about just 'making stuff up'. Some of your comments disturbingly fall into that category. The LOTG are there for a reason. Not for you to make stuff up.

What, for suggesting the LOTG are upheld? Very much called for I think. What else do you let go? That little pull on the shirt? That 2 footed lunge because he didn't really mean it? Refs who don't, make it worse for the rest. I suggest you call a foul throw accordingly and educate the players as...

Have you ever thought that you might be part of the reason why so many referees get abused? I suggest you follow the LOTG. That is your role in the beautiful game.

What other LOTG don't you bother about?

The FA Guidance on this has a couple of attempts for u8 and u9 and then an underarm throw. IIRC u10 and u11 non-competitive gives 2 attempts by the same player and then goes to the oppo. All about educating the players. From then, u11 competitive games and all u12 and above are only one...

I assume bad publicity isn't something the FA wants. The Peterborough incident mentioned on another thread recently was wrong for various reasons but did highlight the dissent issue. The Jersey refs striking will have an impact. I wonder if a local journalist could stir the pot a little. Racism...

I'm not sure that is what he's there for. His view is to put it all through the local FA. That wasn't part of my remit when I was ra sec 25 years ago.

Nearly two weeks on, and I know that the referee submitted a report to the FAs, league etc specifically stating OFFINABUS of the coach and the fact that the ref would have abandoned the game had the other coach not taken his team off the pitch and forfeited the game (due to the types of...

Not sure. Apparently he spends a lot of time in his room.

And filters don't allow his name. It must be a nightmare. It's W@nkling.

There's a ref in a local league called Mr ****ling. I've often wondered if he'd ever been carded or if he's carded anyone for taking the mic.

Small matter. U12 game. Just about to restart play when player calls out he's got to tie his laces up. How many times do refs allow this to happen or rather what strategies do you use to speed these stoppages up? I suspect Ciley might say there's nothing in lotg about stopping for laces...

Just to add another scenario, junior game, coach says 'What's he doing. ****ing 'ell ref, that's never offside'. Followed up in the second half with '****ing 'ell ref, he's a cheat'. These comments were aimed at a club linesman. My reaction would be to remove the coach for the first offence so...

You can be wrong on an opinion when you've based your opinion on a premise that states c is true because a is low and b is high - if a and b have no causality. You may as well say b was high because I wore black boots. It is nothing more than coincidence.

You're wrong. You'll be telling me next that because you prayed every night for the sun to come up in the morning and it did, prayer works.

I'm truly astounded by some of the comments on here but this one typifies it. Have we moved so far away from the LOTG, that an f off, directed straight at an official is seen by some as not even a yellow let alone a red? No wonder your fellow Referees are abused up and down the land.

Lower dissent and higher marks is coincidence not causality.

After a particularly harrowing experience the day before involving OFFINABUS by a junior coach and off the ball stampings and follow throughs (separate thread on it), I went over to the rec with my 11 year old and ended up watching the local village Sunday league fixture. The pitch is next to a...
