Anyone care to give their thoughts on the above Vs Derby County? I'm a Rams fan, and I thought the goal should've stood. Can't tell from the video but player was likely in an offside position when the ball is played, but there's so long between that and the defensive kick that I would class it...

Having just watched it for the first time, after unfortunately reading the thread, I can see a point for red or yellow in real time. On replay, I think a strong yellow. At grassroots, I'd think I'd expect a red if I had a good view of it (I think the straight leg makes it look bad, even if the...

It will come with experience. I can think of a couple of times I've given a red card for OFFINABUS after the final whistle, once to an adult mens captain at step 5/6 who very loudly through a group of players used language towards me, and only a couple of weekends ago when a goalkeeper came...

If the game/situation allows (as in not heated, not difficult player), I call in player for offence, tell why, ask name, show card then let them move away to position while I'm writing name down, trying to keep my wits about me as I do it. Otherwise just slow it down and ask name, write it down...

Thank you, and I agree. Not a good sound for someone who I would expect to be more professional in their opinions.

I was watching the game last night and noticed it live, then got really annoyed with the commentator banging on about how wrong the officials were or had made a major error. Right or wrong decision, it wasn't about Dack!

A very good point well made. Had a men's adult game at the weekend where I cautioned a player for entering the fop without permission. Mix up on a substitution/injury incident/procedure. Had the player started to move onto the pitch and hardly come on, I'd have used spirit of the game and left...

Says it all though, 3rd time cups had been thrown, makes me think as mentioned in the other thread, the Staveley incident wasn't an isolated incident in the match...

Do it, if just for the facilities, standard of games, things you'll learn from much more experienced referees. Even if you only have a season or 2 at 4, it's worth it.

I had this issue yesterday, my RDO told me CC would take precedence (I did email back stating I believed it was the other way round unless SF/F) but RDO said they'd take me off CC to keep the supply league AR officer happy. Would've been easier to replace me on the CC as was a more local game to...

I used to say that, then thought, what if I miss something, the players will use it against me, I said I'm watching but missed maybe an obvious pull as I was looking at a different area. Tend just to say 'nothing silly, nice and tidy' now, maybe 'end of the half so let's get there with nothing...

I started at 28, had some life experience behind me, and even thought open age AR on a Saturday afternoon, and youth middles on a Sunday morning was a bit daunting at times.

Possibly, though he was an older chap who I don't recall mentioning promotion, but maybe he was going for it.

Can confirm that I ran the line to a level 5 either last season or the season before in the competition, I was a 4 at the time. Baffled me as to how it happened, but it wasn't a late appointment for anyone afair, so no idea what happened with that one.

2 subs started somewhere around 89:45, then a goal scored in the 6 added minutes, but AT pretty much blew on 96. What happened to more accurate timekeeping?

I counted to 5 before he released the ball, I started when the player patted the goalkeeper. At that point all players were starting to move away and I was happy the GK was in control.

I would argue no, as at the point of controlling the ball, they weren't aware of the opponent approaching. Had they been, it would be a different story for me.

I would've classed the clip above as a 'drop', rather than a throw. I may be wrong, but I don't see a throwing action. This is just another of those things in football that referees will never always agree on at times, just like handball, point of player becoming active for offside...

Has the player jumped at an opponent? I'd argue not. I still think it's PIADM. Happy to be wrong though.
