    IFAB changes for 26-27

    The simple way to look at this is if the restart is a dropped ball then the player has to go off for a minute. Any other it requires the physio to enter.

    Yes and a serious faux Pas on the set...

    England v Croatia

    I'm not sure your average punter is interested in this level of tactical insight either. I might be very wrong on that but neither or I or Mrs L were particularly worried about the low connection and the stretch connection etc etc. Simple footy in our house. Get it forward. Get it in the box...

    Really need to get head round these changes...

    England v Croatia

    Even Mrs L said how good the referee was. Great start. His problem now is if the French make the final

    England v Croatia

    Yeh this is an angle issue. Naked eye looks offside. Spin the camera in line can see it's tight but as 3d confirms onside. Impressed with refereeing team so far.

    ARG vs ALG

    One for @Ross If I move it it looks like it's going to delete the poll aspect.

    Fra V Sen

    Exactly what I just said. Might not see another game and almost certainly wont be retained.

    I'm assuming that the VAR called ref to monitor to suggest penalty and not to over rule corner for a goal kick? Clear penalty for me that one. Mane clearly challenges in a careless manner.

    5-4 promotion

    It's a rolling sprint. But it isn't worth much. It's 1 stride effectively. The old 2600/2700 cooper tests were a mental battle if anything. Some will prefer the 2600nas they can cruise at the 4:36 pace but struggle with 15:22 or 17:22 as they can't reach the average 3:20 or 3:47 pace at all...

    5-4 promotion

    Which also leads into when the ball is dead this is where you earn your keep. When the ball is in play, no one except Mr observer is really looking at you. The moment play stops, you blow the whistle all eyes on you - this is where alot of the marks are won and lost, both observer and club.

    IFAB changes for 26-27

    Agree but there isn't really any treatment for little knock that can be run off anyway. Physio comes on checks a load of stuff he probably doesn't need to. Players know when they are actually injured and so need an assessment/treatment and that is the only time we should be having the physio on

    Boots

    They are narrow fitting. But they eventually mould to your foot so I was having some issues early doors around the ankle, I had to put some padding in it but that has resolved itself.

    Continuing with my puma kings. First boot to go longer than a season in a long time.

    Promotion dates L4 and above

    Agreed 👍🏻 Not suggesting rules have been broken btw. Feel like every year promotion threads get detracted from celebrating what is a difficult feat to achieve for any referee. Just trying to bring it back to positivity, albeit probably in a negative way on reflection.

    Promotion dates L4 and above

    It read like look at all the forces boys and fa/pgmo employees got the nod When in reality the groups you highlighted on the list make up less than 10% of those promoted so I don't see how we can say it's an objective fact their jobs gave them a leg up. And it prompted immediately @Big Cat...
