It’s a foul, I can’t see it any other way. The attackers movement is purely to impede the goalkeeper.

The level 4 test is straight forward compared to the Cooper test. The only people I’ve ever seen fail the level 4 test (myself included) is through injury rather than fitness. Cooper test always caught a few out in my experience

Additional point/advice: I don’t know what level you are or whether you’re going for promotion but I’m making the assumption this is at grassroots as the club called it off. when/if you get to the higher levels, absolutely do not do this. It will not be a positive against your name.

I do think requesting the fee is the issue here. Regardless of rules or whatever, If you go there off your own back and provide evidence to the league without asking for money you come away as the helpful local ref to the league, albeit beyond the requirements expected. Asking for the fee then...

If you get paid the match fee, can you let me know which league this is so I can start to drive round their empty pitches when they have cancellations? I could do with some extra cash

Same as the Cole Palmer chance, keeper clatters him after the shot. Nothing given. The one on the Boro attacker was a bit naughty as he caught him on the ankle. That being said, I’m a Boro fan and I’m now going to revel in this victory and look forward to seeing Chelsea fans at work tomorrow :p

And what happens when you’ve used your challenges and then the referee makes a howler? Somehow I don’t see managers sitting quietly at their seat saying ‘oh well, it’s a shame I’ve run out of challenges’. The issue which needs sorting is the decisions which are being made, not how we come to...

Football doesn’t come to accept any limitations, that’s why this forum exists. It’s in its own world when it comes to sport

This keeps coming up and it would be awful. There would be constant debates about managers having no challenges left and missing out the opportunity to overturn a decision later in the game. The only reason people think this would work is because it’s used in the NFL but they don’t use it for...

And here lies the issue. MO is well within his right to double caution if he feels appropriate, you can see Dalots reaction so it can be sold. However, it won’t happen next week or the weeks after that, MO himself didn’t even take an opportunity for it 45 minutes prior. Consistency is the...

To give a double yellow after ignoring the sarcastic clapping from Nunez is criminal

I’m happy to have it for dissent but cynical fouls not so much, is anybody really calling for that?

He’s given the advantage then pulled it back when an attacker is through on goal in the final minute of the game. this isn’t just simply a missed advantage

If he blows the moment there’s a foul then it’s forgiveable but the fact he’s delayed it when the pass has already been made before blowing is a howler

Keepers reaction says it for me. He doesn’t even claim the foul for a few seconds, he trudged back toward the ball and then decides to appeal. He knows he’s messed up

Especially when Jordan Rhodes always looked like he was running through treacle!

My thoughts are take Nikos Pappas’ twitter account away from him for talking rubbish

Should have abandoned the fixture. Sod these ‘let the players calm them down’ nonsense, end the game due to safety fears

Ah yes sorry, totally misread the OP!
