https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10050239/AC-Milan-file-formal-complaint-UEFA-referee-Cuneyt-Cakir-defeat-Atletico-Madrid.html Formal complaint filed. I had to laugh when I saw Paparesta throwing his opinions about, I'd say he knows a thing or 2 about match fixing!

Player behaviour has been atrocious since the return. Except elite level there was no football in Ireland since 2020 where it returned for a month then got cancelled again. Referee attacks, mass brawls etc all breaking out nearly every weekend. Countless reports having to be filed. More red...

The Italian press seem intent on destroying this man's career.

Cuneyt Cakir is coming in for a lot of abuse from Milan over last night. Mainly surrounding an early red card and a late penalty. The penalty is at 8:25 I must say I find myself agreeing with Cakir. The blue player tries to control it and it touches his hand accidentally imo. The red player...

I thought DOGSO was only red for non footballing challenges such as handball, pulling the jerseys etc and that genuine attempts were only yellow even if DOGSO? Not the best tackle in the world but to me it looks like he timed his interception poorly on a genuine attempt

This exactly. I've got 4 games this Sunday, I have ambition to proceed but this is getting tiring.

What has the referee seen so that he hasn't awarded a PK in that video? I'd like to think I'd give a PK and yellow card at the least. I know it isn't the subject of the thread title but I'd love to know if anyone does. Often times we see something that just hasn't happened but here I have seen...

Reminds me of that time I was refereeing an U11 match a few yrs ago, random throw in and all of a sudden both coaches ran onto the pitch from both touchlines and attacked each other in the middle. They were followed by their assistants, parents and wives/girlfriends all taking lumps out of one...

I see refcoach has decided it is a red for the red player (VC) and yellow for the white (delaying restart)

And if you are going to penalise someone for kicking an opponent across the shins at high speed and with excessive force how is that justified by a sanction for USB rather than SFP or violent conduct? Not being funny, genuinely trying to understand how USB was decided to be the offence...

I'd like to know what exact offence the yellow card to the red player was given for? Surely if it is for the obvious kick the only card can be red I'd say: Red for the red player Yellow for the white player and warning of thin ice for the rest of the game Yellow for the red player's buddy who...

I think we have all had those games where we are just wishing the time away. The bit about stopping talking to players because it promotes more whinging is also true sometimes, been there!

I experience this first hand nearly every match and it couldn't be more true. My threshold for engaging with the managers is very high, unless they have gotten personal, stepped onto the FOP or are yelling so aggressively that it can't go unpunished then I am not talking to them and as Kes says...

Exactly, put it this way, if they'd been angels and were playing football up until say the 80th minute and one person said that, I don't see myself having given a red. Though if a referee told me that was said to them in a quiet game and they gave a red, I couldn't say they reacted incorrectly...

As far as I'm concerned, the law only requires that something be offensive, insulting or abusive. What if I had confidence issues concerning my height and he hit a nerve by saying that? I don't actually, I'm only about 6 ft, but what if I did? I suppose my point is what we interpret as insulting...

Unfortunately it was said as "how was I offside you f***ing lamppost?" .. which earned him a red. Dissent crept into the game during the 2nd half, yellows didn't have the desired effect so the context of it cemented the red decision for me.

I got called a "lamppost" yesterday after denying an offside goal .. it gets more bizarre by the day

Is it possible some of these fans pay to enter to simply abuse the ref and have a rowdy night? I know in most places I referee you get a cohort of spectators every now and again who are not affiliated to any team. They are simply there to yell abuse at you at every opportunity. Then there is the...

I accept asking paying patrons to leave a ground is likely unpractical, hence why I recommended he find out with his league what he can do in such situations. I know for fact in our league we are to sanction coaches for the behavior of the parents of their players, if I write a report detailing...

First of all I will say well done. It sounds to me like you gave your absolute best and in the face of the worst abuse managed to keep your cool and uphold the laws as best as you saw them. Everyone here has had these types of games and as painful as they are, they are the ones we learn the most...
