I stand corrected. I just assumed it was meant to be a slash 🤣 Another point that irritates me like hell about abbreviations… When you see it all over social media that people are losing their minds that when Sweden play Denmark the abbreviations will said SWE-DEN and more so that the unused...

Bosnia and Herzegovina wasn’t BIH, it was intended to be B/H with a fancy but straight / (I believe)

Top level ARs in other countries never place so much emphasis on the things we consider to be essential here like crabbing

I’m guessing @Egg man has heard of people getting notification saying they’ve been nominated for FA competitions by their county, not appointments going out

I have it on relatively good authority that MO had a very minor issue, passed a fitness assessment but Collina chose not to risk it. Should be all good to continue in the tournament.

It’s not mistaken identity. It’s an incorrect decision. Really not sure that’s VAR reviewable, although the public will support it

I suspect (although I’m far from certain) that if you’re a level 5 it’ll mean you’ve been nominated for FA competitions by your county FA

I do still see bots as new members regularly, but I haven't had any access problems for some time!

I think a caution is probably a better outcome and nobody would be overly surprised, but I think it ticks enough boxes that dogso can’t be called a clear error. I also doubt the ref goes red if he hadn’t already sent 2 opposition players off (although I may be wrong… only he will know) but it...

Was just about to post this. I'm pretty sure it was only since the release of the Nike Referee II kit that it was a thing anyway. Start of the 22/23 season I believe (or may even have been start of 23/24). So whilst it's a shame it's been stopped, it's not like it's something that's always been...

Being baggy around the leg might allow me to go back to a medium. I had a medium in the Referee I shorts but the Referee II shorts I ordered a medium and they were almost skin tight around the legs so I had to change to large. (I'm probably only a 30 inch waste, but chunky thighs / quads)

Was watching the match last night with someone who operates as VAR and he said it's not really a pen but in the prem he's probably not intervening but with FIFA the VAR protocol can be thrown out the window at times.

For £175 a pop I'd want my boots to score goals for me as well as just get me around the pitch and last a while!

I use grip socks. I can't say I notice any difference in terms of blister prevention, but what I do notice is that the the toe and heel area lasts more than 3 games, which the same can't be said for the Nike socks.

Every day is a school day! Makes sense though!

To be fair, as someone who considers myself a size 9, at 35 years old I'm questioning whether I really am a size 9, because I seem to be having to size up 1/2 size more often than I don't these days.

Either one of us is misunderstanding the question or we don't agree. The team who had the advantage initially then comitted a foul shortly after playing the advantage. You can't ignore the second foul, so you have to choose whether by the time the 2nd foul was comitted, the advantage had...

I feel that could be disputed though. Regardless of the fact I referee other matches that I got paid for with a DBS check I already have, I did use that DBS check for the volunteer purpose it was was taken out for. I don’t actually know, and I’ve never done the volunteer thing for clarity… but...

But would that not mean providing you do at least 1 match in the 3 years (or however long it lasts) that you aren't paid for, then you can qualify for it? Most match officials would do I think, whether that be a cup final or otherwise

Bottom of the pile as per usual tbh
