    Qatar v Switzerland

    Qatar Vs Switzerland. Referee doing a long exaggerated penalty kick signal after the goalkeeper had been smashed in the head. Looks clearly offside to the eye in the build-up

    The 2026 World Cup thread

    Need to largely forget clear and obvious as we know it for this World Xup; Collina just wants the 'right decision'.

    The 2026 World Cup thread

    Battle of the cruiserweights. Darren can be too polite.

    FA Cup

    I've seen people who haven't been registered for five years given extra preliminary round appointments.

    Mexico vs South Africa

    @Pembroke Just had a nasty thought how long before they'll define DOGSO by XG?

    England Vs Costa Rica

    Never really see DOGSO handling given that far out unless it's an empty net. I'm assuming it was actually given for unnaturally bigger rather than deliberate handling as no caution for SPA was shown.

    England Vs Costa Rica

    Jed Spence's jaw protector doesn't look particularly safe; random bit of plastic protruding on the top of his head.

    Still got the white tick shorts from a while ago

    New Nike kit

    The shorts and socks (very unfortunately) look the same as previous so just buy the new shirt and 10 pairs of socks.

    England Vs Costa Rica

    Referee letting plenty going, can see a nasty tackle incoming. They aren't showing replays of potential penalties.

    CFA registration fees

    I don't even know who PGMO sponsor is, they're frequently mentioned on TalkSport. I doubt the value of any lower league deal would surpass the cost of putting the badges on kit, especially if the refstop were providing them

    CFA registration fees

    Referees being charged up to £60 to apply for promotion by CFAs. Refundable but have known plenty of referees who have had to chase it up. I suspect some may be exempt from the charge.

    CFA registration fees

    Just been announced that the FA will stop providing free kit to referees in the national league men and womens season. £200k cost apparently. Continued expectation to use the latest Nike kit and training wear.

    Sine Die issued (and rightly so)

    5.5 months suspended. Under 12 months is nearly always a suspended sentence. I've seen worse crimes get less unfortunately Hopefully the FA will match the ban / refuse international clearance, he has plenty of form in the English pyramid.

    Boots

    @MuffledWarbler Very few 4G venues allow astros to be be worn. In the midlands anyway.

    Boots

    Feet do get bigger even after you've stopped growing. The arch starts to flatten Doing a heel lock with your laces can limit how much the foot slides in the boot.

    Turkey v Northern Ireland

    I suspect it would've been given as a deliberate handball against the attacker in UEFA games with VAR. Even though it shouldn't be It would be heck of a spot to see the initial handling, did look like she had a clear view. In real time it's also feasible she didn't think it was obvious it was...

    Advantage question

    The OP gave an example where the referee didn't actually play advantage, and would've been a penalty if he was giving the foul iirc. So ignoring that and assuming generic free kicks. If the advantage didn't accrue due to the second foul, I wouldn't have a problem not going back. Accidental...
