6 seconds James - I regularly see GKs take 20 seconds in the Championship, BigCat and me heard one of our top referees tell a room full of referees that he will NEVER penalise it because he has been told not to. As you say there are many more that need addressing, this example isn't one of them...

Hmmm - in thios shot, ball must already be over the line and its erm.......2 just about. Anyone REALLY disallowing that goal at that time in thsi match?

I've used a similar line before, referring people to LOTG and telling them to look f#or the words "Leave it" - I assure them they won't find them! There's loads "High foot", "Studs up", "Foul throw", "Obstruction"

I'll let you know ;) Oliver Langford is the man in the middle tomorrow.

Its Preston v QPR for me. Interestingly, EFL have lifted the black out on clubs streaming Saturday 3.00pm games for the duration of the World cup - who knew? Not me until QPR told us we could buy the stream for £10. I'm sure Preston v QPR will be JUST like Qatar in terms of weather, football...

For the umpteenth time I had this conversation with someone, only the other week. "What?! You can shout 'leave it', wow!"

Apologies, I misread your post. I thought the bizarre comment related to the restart after he decided it was no foul.

Not really, if its no foul, GK injured, play stopped in PA, so its a drop ball to the GK?

Only half of ITV! Lee Dixon said it was "100% a pen" and Ally McCoist said it was "1 million per cent a pen" Pen all day for me and I'd even support a red. Initial attempt was for the ball but once he saw that wasn't possible he just body checked attacker, THAT specific action wasn't an...

Could clearly see it on TV (It was live on Sky) He got up shaking his head and waving his arms in a "No, not a foul manner" if that makes sense!

For those that didn't see, Burnley promptly put a wonderful free kick in the top corner!

Free kick for the first goal. Only seen live at the game, looked clear as day to me, but apparently there was no contact, but the 'wrinkle' here is Burnley player admitted it was a 'dive' presumably to avoid a yellow, but ref (Peter Banks) still gave the fk to Burnley. In that situation at our...

Anyone see the first goal? Refereeing team won't be happy. Missed offside is poor (clear view, her side) but wonder if the more debateable 'error' led to the missed offside. Free kick 1M or so from edge of Reading area. Fouled player still on the floor, ref looking at her, but allows Chelsea...

Astro tomorrow off now, that's probably me done for Xmas now

Interesting - all seems gritted in NW London and Bucks borders - main roads and most sides from my trip out today.

Personally find that 1 lap jogging, 5 mins stretches, some shuttles and 1 or 2 widths of the pitch at slow, medium, sprint thirds works for me. Most refs/ARs I've been out with do that or less, a few a bit more, but not that many at the levels I do. Personally the less I warm up he more I ache...

Well said, although not all 60+ are at the same fitness levels or indeed 18 year olds, but get your point!

And its off. Weds lunchtime , again on astro, my next booking.

I guess its the same with many of these 'self regulated postponements", always at the mercy of how much the home team really want to play. Mine obviously does as no further word yet.

"Light covering of snow" - must be lighter than in my garden! Checking again at 2.00pm
