    TUN vs FRA Matchday 10 - Conger (NZL)

    Deliberate. Goal should have stood. Had more than enough time and opportunity and got a massive touch to it. The fact it didn't go where he wanted it is neither here nor there IMO.

    KOR vs GHA Matchday 8 - Taylor (ENG)

    At the 5th minute of extra time one of their players went down for about a minute or more. So for me, not only should they have been allowed to take the corner, they should have had another 30 seconds. Other than that the ref was fantastic. Very calm. Been watching these other fellows that...

    POR-URU Matchday 8 (Faghani - Iran)

    Absolute garbage decision made worse by the fact the clown in the VAR room was Australian as I am. Never in a million years a pen unless all those videos IFAB showed me are lies.

    WAL vs IRN Matchday 6 - Escobar (GUA)

    Agree but wrong match thread I think.

    WAL vs IRN Matchday 6 - Escobar (GUA)

    Thought the ref ruled out DOGSO as there was cover on the inside and the first touch was away from goal. Once they reviewed it then SFP came into it.

    If the ball touches the ground before entering, the throw-in is retaken by the same team from the same position.

    No it doesn't. And if it does where? https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/the-throw-in/#procedure You can take it back from the line. In fact you can take it back as far as you want. From memory I went to a course and they explained it had changed. Happy to be wrong but if so can you please...

    If the ball touches the ground before entering, the throw-in is retaken by the same team from the same position.

    You've misread that. I haven't chosen a spot that gains me an advantage. I'm taking it perpendicular to the line and throwing it back over where it went out from 4 or 5 m behind the line. I can't see anything wrong with that. There's no advantage except by taking it quickly.

    Cramp!

    100% I used to buy Hydrolite (don't know if you have that in the UK) but it was getting expensive. Now in a 600mm bottle I put cordial to taste and half a teaspoon of salt. Done!

    Yeah just did it. No way can question 5 be a corner kick.

    Whats the earliest time you've given red/yellow card?

    Wow. I admire your restraint but if some bloke spat at me I'd be whipping out a red so fast it would make his head spin. Absolute filthy behaviour.

    To wall or not to wall... That is the question!!

    The LOTG also don't say you can't sit down and smoke a pipe when you take the field to officiate. I'm not sure how this is relevant.

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Yeah it was a bit of a big deal. Like I said elsewhere I have no problem with the yellow just wanted to make sure if this happened to me in a game I was doing the right thing by issuing a red. I sent 2 separate players off this season for DOGSOs on the goal line which was way easier to be sure...

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Cheers. I understand in this situation where he was waiting to see if the second shot went in. (I meant in any other circumstances.)

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Why would anyone play advantage in the box like that though is baffling.

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Another angle.

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Fair enough. Here's a snippy though. Pretty sure that was going in. To be honest I'm not aggrieved at the decision at all just want to make sure I'm calling these right if it happens to me.

    DOGSO red right? Australia vs NZ

    Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the DOGSO handball the Kiwi gave away for the penalty at the 2 minute 10 second mark been a red? This was a friendly. (As an aside this was to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our first international.)

    To wall or not to wall... That is the question!!

    'Confused players' or not you just shouldn't be asking the keeper if he wants a wall full stop. That's just wrong.

    What's the latest time in a game you've given a card?

    Was the bloke 110?
