    Open Age had a player who refused to take his wedding ring of but had it taped ....

    4 seasons before open age?! I've seen many referees go from 9-4 in that time!

    Worst mistake you have seen live?

    Always remember the restart! Injuries and mass confrontation! Very confusion situation so I feel sorry for the referee.

    Positioning-get wider...?

    I disagree. Being on the touchline is the worst place. Here are some reasons: 1) You need to keep a peripheral view of all players, if you go on the touchline, your view across the pitch is blocked by a mass of players 2) You cannot monitor the thrower (for infringement) at the same time as...

    Pass Back?

    Yacinho - slow down a bit. No where did you say Herts hasn't set up the wall. Also consider the context of the game etc...

    Getting a round of applause

    The worst one is when you've made a great touch etc..., you look around - and no-one has seen!

    Carpi vs Livorno Red Card

    Agree with Alex. Endangering the safety of an opponent. With a boot like that, IMO he is not in control, and could have caused serious injury, luckily he made connection with the ball. Red card. Move along. Player reactions here also suggests that a red card is the best course of action.

    Positioning-get wider...?

    I often pick this up when assessing. In open play, your positioning should aim to be at 45% degrees to players running for the ball. You are not running alongside with them, so can keep a peripheral view, but you're not running behind them and not noticing any niggly trips / pulls. However...

    Pass Back?

    I'm sorry Herts - but how can a shirt pull in which you're going to penalise be careless? By recognising it as a free kick, you must caution. There is a reason for a shirt pull, and it is often to stop players gaining an advantageous position. A shirt pull is never going to be by accident.

    Is this a red?

    This is not a two footed challenge, but I still class it as endangering the safety of an opponent. The challenge is high and over the ball - you can say it has a downward trajectory - but still could have caused serious injury. I don't see how there wasn't even a freekick for it though. I...

    Pass Back?

    How about this one. Goalkeeper has the ball and can't pick it up. Chips the ball to one of his defenders, who then heads it back to him. He catches it and attempts a fly kick.

    AR Drone - how I spent my afternoon

    For a moment I thought you had a drone over an AR to review his performance!

    Thanks @SM - a part of me actually feels disappointed he left. It was fun. Onwards and upwards though.
