Who says referees don't have a sense of humour? :)

Surely that’s not legitimate justification for that penalty though?

I have four tops I first picked up when I started, and having now purchased newer tops these are gathering dust at home. They have all been worn, but are still in good condition. The black and yellow ones are a medium, whilst the red one is a small. Send me a PM if you're interested in any...

I’d agree. It didn’t seem like a foul at all.

It was ok because an Italian player played it initially and then it fell to another Italian player. If it had hit the referee and then fallen to a Turkish player, then it would be a drop ball to Italy.

The ref isn’t challenging for headers etc

Looked very similar to the McTominay incident. I wouldn’t give it, but when they later gave the McTominay incident it made me wonder why Pogba wasn’t punished.

I’m completely neutral club-wise, however I agree with both of you. It seemed a natural movement from McTominay to hold off Son.

Same here - typical SFA. 🙄

Glad to hear it. I tried to view it without Saltire-tinted glasses to see if there was something I was missing, but it’s good to know I don’t seem to be missing anything. Overall I’m not too bothered, as a draw was probably a fair result overall.

Scottish penalty claim turned down last night? (Roughly 2:15 in below)

Me as well. I was watching it with my Dad and brother at the time, and when I explained my surprise at it, they agreed as well.

Completely agree on both points

No - me as well. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said this to people. All that changing OS does is shift the problem as you say.

Looks like it’ll be the end of April before any games up here

I’ve just seen it on MotD and must say I can’t see how it’s not been given

Officials in bibs? It is a rather interesting look for that level of game.

That’s what happened before Christmas for the girls league I’ve been refereeing in. Their season is March to November, so they did this from October to Christmas there instead of clubs having to organise friendlies for up to 6 months. From what I gather, it seemed to work alright, and they’re...

I think so. Like you, I had no interest in either team, however this did strike me as an odd decision. I couldn’t really think why it wasn’t given.

I had a team a couple times just before Christmas who were very complimentary, saying how I “let the game flow” and just let them play football. I’m never sure if that kind of comment is truly reflective of the referee though, as to let a game flow relies on the players as well. A game can’t...
