As I read it OFFINABUS can be directed at anyone so, even if he has said it to an opposition player instead of an official, you’re still correct in law to send him off.

Legal or illegal? Because a foul throw is given in that clip.

Thoughts on this? Would’ve been onside every day of the week last season but the IFAB clarifications in July obviously changed all that. Still would go onside personally.

Yeah because we're not limited to a "you must wear black" rule it's less of an issue for those of us north of the border

Take a look at St Mirren v Celtic earlier this season if you want to see an interesting choice of colours 😳

I’ll decide when I submit the paperwork

5Live commentator seemed unsure of who got the booking as well

Yeah it did look borderline to me - I suppose they still managed to score from the throw anyway

If he's 2m away then it's fine

Just to add that the Rangers red card briefly mentioned earlier in this thread has been rescinded/retrospectively downgraded to a yellow

Slightly risky if you lose sight of the offender/didn’t catch their number to call them back as then it’s visible to everyone that you’ve planned to card someone. If the card isn’t out though then you can just about get away with it although there may be some moaning if it looked a fairly...

Same 2p coin for the 100 or so games I’ve done so far. Gets kept in a plastic tub with my whistle, pen and cards.

Another thing I tend to consider with advantage and getting a shot away is the nature of the shot itself. If for example the player has been shoved and is off balance then the shot will most likely be affected by this so I'll tend to pull it back for the foul. If the ball falls to a teammate...

Would it? It looked to me like the last touch came off the lower thigh so it wouldn't be a pass back.

I was messaging someone about this incident last night and outlined the various things that would be considered from the LotG and how the officials reached their decision. The reply I got was "fair enough but good luck explaining that on a Sunday morning" and I realised that it would probably be...

I know where you're coming from with that. I think this is the kind of incident though where if the decision was play on (ie no simulation) then people would say "surely it's a dive then if it's not a penalty". The one thing I'm sure of with this is that it's definitely not a penalty for me. I...

I only really do youth football and to be honest it was a while before I remembered about this. A lot of the time coaches start to come on when you go to check the player so I'm not too fussed then. However I did an u16 academy game recently and did enforce it then as I explained to the player...

If you've decided he's getting cautioned then that's it happened - the actual showing of the card is really just communication of this. So in your case submit the initial yellow and the straight red.

Just having a look at the one about the referee doing the coin toss. Sometimes at a game the referee will get a young mascot to do the actual toss which can be a nice thing to get them involved. My impression I get is that this would no longer be allowed though?

Must vary between regions - boys clubs are a flat £40 fee round my way from u13 through to u19. £30 flat fee for AR at Tier 6&7 which you can do after about a year or so after qualifying.
