I can’t see any comments about this game yet, so, if this is the case, I will make a start. I thought Michael Oliver put in a very good performance. Calm, decisive, very good movement, appropriate yellow cards etc. It wasn’t perfect but imho not far off & especially given the magnitude of the...

I have been reading over the course of the past few months that fans generally consider Referees in L2 to be poor - not that I believe anything a fan thinks since they generally wear rose dinted & biased glasses favouring the team they support. However, I have visited Notts County to see them...

Was Wrexham’s 2nd goal offside - certainly in an offside position when the ball was played within the penalty area with the AR having stopped to presumably signal, but didn’t raise his flag before the ball entered the net. The offending player didn’t gain/take possession of the ball, but...

Is there any form of database that I can tap into to find out the level of a Referee without having to either ask the person himself/herself or the County FA?

I was gobsmacked and surprised to be made aware that for having reached 1,000 posts earlier today I was awarded an addicted badge. My wife on the other hand was not surprised (that I was addicted). 😂

I’m surprised no one has posted (or not as far as I can see) about last night’s game. Offside or not offside via deliberate play or non deliberate play etc? Penalty or no penalty - late challenge by the goalkeeper, or a coming together?

The FA Vase first-round tie between Wythenshawe and Holker Old Boys is to be replayed after the referee made an error in a penalty shootout. I get it that something had to be done about it, but to me it would have been logical to have had the penalty shoot out re-taken in full, not the entire...

Brave by Referee Harrington to caution Forest player for simulation which then led to Sunderland goal. I’ve seen the actual incident - good for the Referee.

Aberdeen defender handball & 2nd yellow, as well as a penalty, which was scored. Seemed harsh.

I’ve just read that the multiball process is to be introduced for all 3 National Leagues from the start of this season. Something else for the Referees to think about, as well as testing their level of fitness throughout the season.

Sad to see David Webb’s debut on the PL end so early at Leicester City following his (accidental) blow to the head by a Leicester player. Hopefully he will be given at least another game.

Incident I have viewed, but not technical enough to be able to copy and paste from What’s App site to here. Goalkeeper about to take a goal kick with no one else within the penalty area. As he takes the goal kick he slips and the ball moves forward a foot or two. He then picks it up with his...

I’m surprised no one appears to have made a comment about the penalty to West Ham following a handball incident from a Bournemouth defender, which incensed the Bournemouth Manager in his post match interview - arm in natural or unnatural position?

So 50 years since the donkey kick was used, named and then outlawed. Was it outlawed because the ball had turned its full circumference or because of two touches (albeit at the same time) & therefore, if the latter, is it still outlawed?

So Steve Cooper thinks that human error was involved in a goal scored by Crystal Palace and should have been ruled out for offside and PGMOL says no human error made and decision to allow goal was correct. This could run for a bit, but SC obviously has an issue with Referees/ARs & if he wants to...

Does anyone know who has replaced Dan Meeson who moved on to PGMOL?
