    My last ever observation

    I’m not so sure on that. There was someone on the radio this morning explaining that if you imagine the two doses giving 100% immunity, then the 1st one gives around 90% of that, with the 2nd one giving the remaining immunity.

    Old Firm Send Off

    Yep - DOGSO was the right call for me.

    It was nice while it lasted...

    With tier 4 right across mainland Scotland just now, there’s nothing until January 16th at least. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s longer than that though.

    Another big milestone

    Didn’t realise it’s been going that long. I only came across the site around 18 months ago before signing up last December. Many thanks for all the work done in the background - it’s a great site that’s definitely helped develop me as a referee.

    Mobbing in the UK

    They even do it when the referee literally has a finger to the ear saying “they’re checking it” 😡

    VAR question

    Would it not be to give the offside? Would that not be the first offence?

    LIV TOT

    Surprised me as well. As much as I disagree with the handball law, I can’t see how that’s not a penalty.

    DOGSO in the first minute

    It’s a tough one. Once you give the foul, it has to be a red card for me. Below is a still image - from the other side of the pitch - at the point of contact. I personally don’t believe either defender would catch him.

    Bellerin's foul throws

    It looks like one of those “ugly but legal” throws to me

    2 players on the same team

    Appropriate caution/send-off etc then restart with free kick or penalty to opposition (depending on where offence took place)

    Where do you keep your cards, book etc ?

    Yellow card in left shorts pocket, notebook and coin in right shorts pocket, red card in right shirt pocket, and pen in left shirt pocket. Works for me.

    Wild MLS playoff game

    Below is a link to the story explaining it. Marshall said the ref had told him - presumably because it would be the final kick - if he saved it they would do a quick VAR check, so don’t celebrate too early. This explained the delayed reaction from him, much to my relief. 😀...

    Man in the middle documentary

    Looks like it should be an interesting watch

    Palace v Leeds

    Not for me. All it would do is shift the debate to the back of the attacker, instead of the front as it currently is.

    It was nice while it lasted...

    Still going (for the time being) up here. :) Hopefully it only lasts the 28 days for all of you, however I’d agree it’s likely to go on longer.

    First Postponement Of The Season!

    I can see where you’re coming from, however that’s the situation we’ve had up here for the last 5 weeks, with an u18 cut off. It’s frustrating for all those over 18, however most people have accepted it is better than nothing.

    How many competitive games have you guys reffed?

    12 in total. I’ve been doing games since November last year, but that’s only about 5 months in reality. I’ve reffed 5 friendlies as well in the last few weeks - a couple of them have certainly been competitive in nature! 😀 (I’ve kept a spreadsheet of all the games I do so know it specifically...

    Mass melee - fan footage

    Yep. I try and wear black whenever it’s suitable, but there’s times other colours make more sense. The SFA are stuck in the dark ages in some ways, but thankfully they’ve got this aspect right - IMO.

    England v Denmark

    You English never learn, do you? 😂
