Don’t even see careless there, let alone reckless, let alone SFP. Stop game for head injuries, drop ball to light blue.

Touche!

Based on the video timer, it's in the keeper's hands at 7'29, and the whistle blows at 7'39. I'm with others that the presence of the first and then second attackers complicates matters, and I'd have paused the count, but when the hand's raised and the count is going the GK has only really got...

I got these last year - very sturdy/hard, blank on the side you show and saves money on stickers. https://www.refstore.co.uk/products/write-on-card-set?srsltid=AfmBOopnqr6ZrenWJylTCgEVui1UmWztjotmEFFsXJ-hXpZBeIOp6TZk

It gets pretty lonely, that's for sure!

"That's not a mass confrontation. That's a mass confrontation." (In strongest Crocodile Dundee accent).

Super, thanks @one - never had this situation before (similar issue where I’d shown the YC for a sin bin and then was called an effing c so out came the RC) and every day in the middle is a learning day. Put the YC through but separately emailed my the CFA’s Discipline team, RDO and league ref...

Thanks James. The yellow was communicated insofar as I had it out of my pocket and was about to write his name down, but not shown because of how quickly he told me to eff off. I’d played an advantage after the initial foul so the player was already agitated when I then began the process after...

Perfect, thanks Rusty!

I really ought to know this answer but never had it occur before so just wanted to ask the wise heads on here to make sure I do it correctly. U16s game today. In the process of issuing a YC for a foul tackle to a defender and before I’ve even been able to ask his name he’s aggressively told me...

No I wouldn’t, because you’re comparing two completely different actions. However, much as I think it isn’t a penalty, I can entirely understand the rationale of saying it is a penalty, which I think is your point about clear and obvious. In my mind it was a clear and obvious error - though...

Full disclosure - WHU fan so was desperate for us to win. Re the overturned penalty, I genuinely thought it was a correct VAR intervention - Castellanos is entitled to put his foot there so it wasn't a penalty, though equally it didn't feel like a free kick either. Might it have "felt" better...

FWIW, if not convinced it hit Barnes’ arm. I think it probably did, but I’m a long way from certain, which was the point Shearer was belabouring on MOTD. However, sports rules are governed by the civil standard of proof, ie the balance of probabilities. I’m not aware of any specific VAR...

@andre69 From what you’ve written you didn’t lose control at all and used the tools at your disposal to maintain control. There are just some coaches, players and parents who just can’t behave no matter what you do. That’s on them, not you. I hope you’re ok. Having a very challenging game or a...

Ditto the other two comments - speak to Ella, who's brilliant, and you can roll over into next season as long as you're on it by the end of the season. Just note that, for L6 to L5 at least, Wiltshire added mentoring to the promotion criteria. Slightly frustrating for those of us who have kids...

This whole episode is increasingly fishy…

This highlights the fundamental problem of The FA's own doing - there's no central resource of suspensions/reasons. Yes, I know there's written reasons and details of County Appeals on their website, but it's a LONG way from being comprehensive and is about as un-user-friendly as can be...

That's where I was - looks like a clear attempt at a flick with his head, but regardless of where you stand on that it's still offside. Nope - was watching it live and no cautions issued.

We spend a lot of time on here dissecting decisions that are controversial or might have been different, so I thought I'd post a clip of an excellent offside decision by the AR. I really don't think there can be any debate about whether it's the correct decision or not - very close to the GK...

I wholeheartedly agree with this now I'm four years in. Started doing it at youth and adult, and it was all great pre-match, but I very quickly realised it didn't make a blind bit of difference during the match and, as one says, at times could be counter-productive. Again, this. I always...
