    Decision on challenge - how would you have handled this?

    I think I'd be going for PIADM Playing in a dangerous manner Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themself) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury. Best...

    Quick KO myth

    A couple of times in my career I've had youth teams (u14/15) try to kick off after a goal because they are back ready in position, even though the opposition are still celebrating. I just blow the whistle to stop them, and inform them that they need to wait for my restart whistle. I think...

    Throw ins- how far can the player get?

    Not every referee let's players take about 5 metres either way. Often in the defensive area, and more so further back in that area, a bit of leeway will be given, as you go further up the field refs will be more picky. If teams want refs making players take throw ins, free kicks etc from the...

    Arsenal vs Lyon

    Makes me think of 'look at players reactions to potential offside position - keeper line of sight'... If no one's calling for it, don't go looking for it!

    LOTG question

    I'm sure we've had this sort of thing before... An indirect free kick is awarded if a player: plays in a dangerous manner impedes the progress of an opponent without any contact being made is guilty of dissent, using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or action(s) or other verbal...

    Hearts v Dundee Utd

    Red all day for me. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. He endangered the safety of the opponent.

    County Cup Final Expectations

    As above, it's about being there on time, having that extra time in the pre match means if there's any delays (on the road, if you forget something etc), you have a bit of a buffer. True story, I did a CC final once as AR. Lived a few miles from the ground, drove, Sunday morning. Not much...

    Ultimatums

    That's 3 fouls now player (in last 20 mins), next one you run the risk of a card coming out. Means you can let them off with a couple of careless in the second half when the opposition manager has stopped counting.

    "Can they do that?"

    Chris Wood caution.

    Chris Wood was subbed off for New Zealand in the 62nd minute against Fiji after scoring a hat trick. He then received a yellow card for signing autographs while the game was going on. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16BHwro3co/ What we cautioning for? USB - Shows a lack of respect for the...

    Millwall Vs Stoke

    I watched it in real time, and now I've taken my black and white tinted glasses off (which agreed with the penalty as Stoke are a team we need to drop points), I think it's probably more mutual holding. But can see why it's given. There's a little more on the attacker for me which is in guessing...

    Advantage but offside

    Yes

    Offside position

    For me, you just need to identify at what point you class either player as becoming active. If you felt A1 didn't become active in any way, there's no offence. Remember, most players don't understand offside, so they just see a player moving and claim an offence when in reality, there's...

    IFAB Law Changes for 2025/26

    Me too because I guarantee there'll be a few moans in any game I do of about 16s and over.

    Arms up at throw ins

    "Touch not a foul/push", "letting him know he's there" tend to work for me.

    Ladies Overhearing intending to injure a player

    Obvious easy USB that can't be ignored. Well done, and I hope every other referee would do the same.
