    Smart watch and rain

    Depends on the smart watch.. But, personally, when weather is not that good I tend to use a wrist sweatband over the watch. My other watch keeps me updated with time at a glance.

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Sorry, personal attack? All I said was that you ignored the rest of the post (to cherry pick your response) ignoring the rest of post which included the word DOUBT a few times. Its an amazing word you should look up. If you are a referee (your caption suggests not as you say you're an armchair...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Well done at missing the rest of the post. You're too tunnel visioned on this. No point debating.

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    No, you cant. The ball was already going in that direction. It has its own momentum and spin. There is enough doubt that VAR should not intervene. There is that word again... DOUBT. I'm not saying he didnt handle it. But then im not saying he did. I am saying there is doubt and if you have...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Im sorry, you cant be 100% on that. The argument in the post "you can see his hand move". His hand was moving already. Its not flinched. No fingers have move out of place. Its not 100%. I know Liverpool fans won't like it. But you need to be 100% certain to overrule that and those sitting in...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    I actually don't see an obvious move. Its similar to someone arguing about Hibs goal (not sure if it was given or not, just a FB group). In that game, because of the angle I'm more inclined to think he did play with his hand, but not this one. There is obvious doubt which is what you have to...

    Back after a year break

    Having taken a year out for a few reasons including losing love of reffing, I stepped back on the field for my first game today. Unfit (I know i am, lack of exercise of any kind will do that), I spent the last few days/week walking out and about to try and get some sort of exercise in. On to...

    Wolves v Sunderland - Hair Pulling

    That is what most look like. The DCL one recently, the Brentford one against Fulham. Camera stills make it look like a tug but it could very much be a trick of the camera/eye making it look that way. Both not given. Yesterdays one very similar but this time given. The one by Martinez on DCL...

    Wolves v Sunderland - Hair Pulling

    But they've made a rod for their own back by giving red for any impression of a hair tug. The one earlier this season, on Cucurella I think, was so obvious I fully understood it. Then a couple went unpunished and no one thought anything of it. Now it seems to be every challenge. I wouldn't be...

    "I'm a ref myself mate..."

    Only time ive used it was a recent match. I went to watch my neighbours team play. But the pitch next door was getting very heated to a point the referee stopped the game to tell one of the sets of parents/coaches off (all stood together). After the game i approached him, after watching an...

    Forest v Villa (ECL)

    Just seen the challenge by Anderson on Watkins. Should VAR have intervened? Looks on/above ankle with whole flat boot/studs on. Very nasty challenge.

    PSG v Bayern

    Just watched the referees channel Facebook post about it. He says it should never have been given and gives a good explanation why.

    PSG v Bayern

    Just never understand how the added time in 99% of games always equates to a whole minutes and not, for example, 4 minutes and 40 seconds. We know its minimum of, but its never really minimum of unless something serious happens. Its almost always bang on.

    PSG v Bayern

    Curious.. minimum of 4 added minutes. Keeper goes down and down for what, a minute? Game stopped at 94:05. So 5 seconds? Pays to go down and kill the game.

    PSG v Bayern

    The football in the EPL has gone sideways and backwards and slow. Started by Pep and adopted by most others with poorer, in comparison, players. Most teams aim for set pieces. This game is just fast paced and all action.

    PSG v Bayern

    For those not seen it... Think ref only saw this angle..

    PSG v Bayern

    End of first half.. Handball? Very harsh. Defender turns his body in what id argue is a natural protection keeping his arm close to body as he does so. Im sorry, but you cant turn your body the way he has without the arm moving. The ball strikes the Bayern players thigh/midriff and bounces up...

    West Ham vs Everton

    Like the fact he seemingly turns around and reacts to the player on the floor. He does it all the time to take the heat off him and make it look like the opponent was in the wrong. Yet anyone goes near him he throws to the floor and then gets up and runs at refs.
