The hard work starts now is a phrase I have heard several times today, I'm ecstatic to have made it to L4 and can't wait for next season!

Thanks I can take it that what he said was in all likelihood relayed accurately, though it is still reasonable to consider he was probably subconsciously predisposed to not intervene on this given sending off a GK is one of the most impactful decisions to make.

Without the comms, we aren't sure whether Gillett was reasoning for not DOGSO or for not C&O.

This is a 'serious missed incident' case as the probable DOGSO offence was not spotted on field (free kick not awarded). Gillett seems to have applied the C&O bar when not required. It also suggests a flaw in the protocol because Gillett is refereeing the incident when really for any potential...

The FA needs to bring a Successful Deception case here! Has there been one in a match with VAR before?

RMTV's video is disgraceful and I'm glad the officials have had an opportunity to publicise what they are going through. Also, professing the 'freedom of expression' of its media outlet while labelling the officials' statements as 'unacceptable' 😂

0:26 - potential SFP - think it's a borderline rather than C&O 2:55 - missed incident, potential SFP - Collum sticks with decision despite successful appeal, personally I don't think the appeal should have been allowed as red is not an obvious error but would have preferred yellow with...

The attacker is challenging the GK for the ball, GK gets to it first and has the ball under control in their hands at the end of the challenge. It is a fairly textbook scenario one of the most common where an attacker will be penalised for this.

Don't think the attacker really knows what has happened as she was facing away from the keeper, so wouldn't read too much from her reaction.

I'm happy with the intervention as punching another player's head is nearly always going to be (at least) a careless foul. It can look softer when slowed down which it is the majority of the time in this footage. It clearly lands on the back of Williamson's skull not just the pony tail.

Hi Théo. Be wary of any visa restrictions because as far as I know you cannot accept payment for refereeing without a right to work in the UK. You may need to consult with a regulated immigration adviser about your plans.

We have had 3 (including yours) saying it is a caution and not SFP but none have explained why it is not SFP.

VAR should have intervened, it is a lunge that endangers the safety of the opponent.

There has to be excessive force or brutality (meaning savage, ruthless or deliberately violent). So you can justify it as a deliberately violent act for the GK to have kicked the attacker in these circumstances. The Laws say: Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive...

The relevant clause in law is 'unless the goalkeeper has clearly kicked or attempted to kick the ball to release it into play' which was clearly not the case.

Yeah they are Level 3 and 4 referees respectively. We always have to bear in mind the FA rule that 'Registered Referees shall not officiate in any Competition, which is not sanctioned, or match in which unaffiliated clubs compete.' So one hopes that either this is sanctioned, or perhaps not...

From my perspective this has never been a DOGSO because it used to be perfectly legal for a GK to handle a back-pass and when changing the law IFAB only wanted possession to be turned over and did not deem it a serious enough offence to warrant sending off the GK. A good way for this to be...

And the standard kit for non-PGMOL is still supposed to be the current Nike for next season. So really this Puma is a 1 season kit unless imitating PGMOL.

What the heck is 'Pro DNA' Vs 'Grassroots'?

Please let the socks be better than the current :poop:
