    Lightening

    In Australia, if there are less than 30 seconds between lightning and clap then you head in for thirty minutes, restarting with every observed similar instance. Cricket introduced the policy first because there were not insignificant numbers of players being killed in low grade matches around...

    VAR Audio

    I think you could show it at waist level. Everyone would get the point

    Pinch of the derriere

    Dead on. OFFINABUS conduct (rather than gesture) now, fits very nicely imo

    KFTPM - bizarre situation

    The takeaway has to be to count the players before commencing KFTPM! I really doubt that a player would become injured enough to be incapable of taking a penalty only after KFTPM begins! Like, you'd have to lose a leg.

    Liverpool v City - Klopp sending off

    On a more mundane note, did anyone see the restart of play? Unusual (by EPL standards) that he stopped play to flick a manager so it would be interesting to know what happened next.

    2 on 1 tackle

    Gets really tricky when it's reckless or SPA, because you almost have to guess who it was who gets the booking. Pro-tip: if one of them has been booked already, guess very carefully

    Juv vs Sal

    All this fuss about whether he interfered with an opponent when he was not even in an offside position! An absolute mess.

    Challenge after shot

    Difference being it wasn't a shot that missed or was collected by the keeper. I wouldn't consider it trifling because it has removed the attacker as a viable passing option

    Players holding hands at corners

    Simply creating a chain of players? Why?

    New Aussie ref

    Dubbo here. Welcome aboard. The debriefing will come in the big boy matches when everyone's giving you a gobful. It's a thrill

    WHU v CHE

    Looking at the replay in this video there looks to be pretty heavy contact with the hand and fingers of Mendy. Perhaps that was the concern rather than any trivial contact with the torso. He does clutch at his hand first.

    Keeper sees red for peeing in the hedge

    In France they'd give him a medal

    Second yellow...but for what?

    1:39:00 But of a shame to send her off. Manager has done his level best to keep everyone behaved and I'm not sure you'd really say that the shirt was pulled over her head - perhaps in front of her head? Not sure I'd be pulling the book out there.

    football league leniency

    Problem is that a keeper taking 34 seconds to release the ball, and instances prolonged dissent, impress no one

    WHU vs NFO

    But speaking more generally, handball needn't be willing or deliberate, so them having been penalised is not evidence of the quality of the shot

    Who said it needed to be willing?

    WHU vs NFO

    My interest isn't in the specific scenario. I haven't seen video that isn't geoblocked. My interest is in the way we're framing it. It's been suggested that, before downgrading to yellow, we should have confidence that the keeper will save it. Actually, before upgrading to red, it should be...

    WHU vs NFO

    My view is the lack of control - having already taken the shot - is what withdraws this from being an 'opportunity'. The attacker can do nothing to improve the chances of the ball going in. It's either an obvious goal or it's not. Thinking on DOGSO lines is erroneous, in my humble view

    WHU vs NFO

    For those advocating DOGSO-H, which of the mandatory considerations were met?
