I'm a catcher. If I mess it up first time, I just do it again. I also use a 50p, which seems to make me quite unique, from what I've encountered so far.

If it's a close call as well as to who it touched last before going out of play, a confident shout of "looked like it hit red last from my angle" does the trick for me. Being close enough to play to be credible helps massively as well.

Yes, County FA. Google Derbyshire FA and ring the number it gives you. If he doesn't answer himself, ask for Reece.

How have you chased Reece? If not already, ring the FA. I find if I need to speak to him, I can usually get through on the phone. Fellow Derbyshire referee here (if it wasn't obvious). Hope you manage to get hold of him!

But it's ok to wave play on when an attacker jumps for the ball and is pushed or held by the defender as the ball sails over their heads, with neither of them having any chance of getting anywhere near the ball? Because let's be honest, that happens more often than it should...

Try selling that at grassroots in any situation though!

Blow whistle, start watch. If false start, don't reset. Check watch after about 30 seconds.

In conclusion for me, in law it's a red, football expects a yellow. I did vote red. As referees, we can't win.

I can't quite work out, but could there be a handball offence by the attacker? Otherwise, maybe the 4O has called a foul on the defender on the edge of the penalty area. I can't see anything else that would rule it out.

Mine too, went there to watch a game once, 🎵 I wanted to go home 🎵

Can't wait to sell that on a Sunday morning 😂

I would think the crossbar one comes under 'shows a lack of respect for the game/unsporting behaviour'. There's nothing directly in law regarding the ACTUAL offence, as far as I can see.

I know it's a few days old, but it's been on my mind. For me, it's covered pretty well in law here - a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for...

And this doesn't help us at lower levels, trying to sell things like this as SFP when players all claim "didn't mean it, trying to get the ball" etc. We need to look less at what football (fans etc) expects, and more at actually being allowed to apply the laws proficiently.

Start at 1:40. Thoughts?

Then allow a bit more time for the keeper to set herself and the wall properly. Depending on how the game/team/players had been in the game already, you could be looking at caution (s) without warning TBF.

I would agree with this. If you felt the goalkeeper 'saved' the ball for any reason then it's an offside offence. If you felt the goalkeeper deliberately played the ball, then no offence. You just have to make that judgement call in the few seconds you have available unless you buy some time...

First few corners or free kicks into the attacking area, let them know you're there. Then you can start letting off a bit. Temperature of the game as well may dictate how much you need to shout. I find I do the first bit above and then every so often at the drop zone from say a goal kick, I'll...

Got him coming up so will see what he says in this one, should be pretty similar I should imagine.

Looked like it hit the keepers feet to me.
