    Open Age Ball hit defender's face, down, other defenders aborted, attacking team scored immediately

    When the ball has entered the goal it is incorrect in Law to not award the goal for an injury. As @santa sangria says, the main thing here is to make a decision immediately and be clear about whether play is being stopped or not. If in doubt it is usually better to err on the side of player...

    Cup Final Appointments

    Congratulations to all who have been appointed to finals. I was rather surprised yet delighted to receive an appointment to my first ever County final this season after not being appointed to any earlier round fixtures at all, I thought I might have been forgotten about! Not sure what to put the...

    Deliberate Trick?

    Great point, it is definitely a DOGSO.

    Deliberate Trick?

    This is a trick. The only way I can imagine a player being able to play a ball along the ground without using their foot and it not be a trick is when the player has fallen to the ground for some other reason. For those saying not a trick, would that still be the case if the player...

    IFAB says advantage can be played from incorrectly taken throw-in?

    Yes as we could just as easily say that within the spirit of the law an incorrect throw-in can be considered not an offence. But their post is far more definitively worded than their explanation!

    "Can they do that?"

    That's really funny because it used to be Law that the ball had to be played forwards at kick-off, which is why there were always two players standing over it so one could tap it slightly 'forward' to the other.

    Kent cup ref highlits

    Surprised the protest wasn't accepted over that penalty retake which isn't really justifiable in law.

    Collision

    It's a simple rule. If there is a serious injury then we have to stop play immediately. Safety comes before fairness.

    Arsenal vs Chelsea

    We can take our pick for how Cucurella could have been sanctioned. Unsporting behaviour for the type of handball it was Unsporting behaviour for simulating being fouled Dissent towards the AR I'm assuming he received none of the above. Though I don't think you would issue 1 and 2 as separate...

    Millwall Vs Stoke

    Looks like a good decision to me. Initially some mutual holding, attacker stops but defender doesn't and looks enough to impede the attacker's movement. If you're a defender holding in the penalty area then you are taking a big risk.

    Advantage but offside

    It's slightly ambiguous from how you have described it. It seems most likely the foul occurred before the offside offence, in which case your actions were correct. But if the offside offence occurred before the foul then the offside should have been penalised. The CAR's flag came after the foul...

    New 2026 Kit

    It would make sense because the current Nike was brought in as a 4-year kit and we're currently in the 3rd year of it.

    IFAB says advantage can be played from incorrectly taken throw-in?

    Did not think this is correct, as the ball is not in play when a restart is not taken correctly.

    REFSIX and my head being battered

    I think you are supposed to press 'sync matches' first on the Refsix watch app menu, which you haven't mentioned. This video might be outdated but seems to show how to sync your matches I am on WearOS / Android so my own gear works differently from yours.

    REFSIX and my head being battered

    On the Refsix Garmin menu it should tell you how many games are synced and what time it last synced, is all that showing correctly?

    Liverpool vs Southampton

    Ticks the brutality box, but unfortunately the example set at the top for this type of challenge is not robust.

    Scottish VAR Review - March 2025

    Some interesting incidents here 0:26 - VAR 'factually' disallows a goal for ball out of play when the footage is not conclusive 4:37 - VAR 'factually' disallows a goal for handball when the footage is not conclusive 12:37 - VAR agrees with on-field decision that player should be sent off for...

    Flykicks Outside of the Box

    That's right, the only potential offence is handball so there is no issue as long as the GK has not touched the ball with their hands/arms outside the penalty area.
