If I give a card, it goes through. That is in competitive or friendly games. Cards are there to protect players, officials and integrity of game. Also, in friendly matches teams should be playing to train as if it were a competitive game. I think there is a gut instinct as to when it is a...

Think it was a harsh decision (albeit I am biased!). Think the decision was made before he got to the screen to be honest. However, in law it is correct, but could also be correct if given as there is a level of subjectivity. What is wrong is the behaviour and reaction of players and coaches -...

I thought that AT really needed to deal with the persistence of fouls. 29 fouls (based on stats) and it was just getting silly the number of them towards the end. If I were being observed and I hadn’t given a couple of C3s I’d be getting penalised. Just my opinion - thought there was an early...

A&H - they’re great. Not sure if it’s too late now.

Think correct decision is reached in the end.

Get yourself a plain and get a couple of patches and put CFA badges on each and stick on with double sided tape each time you use it.

Sounds like you have KMIs that you dealt with. It’s very easy to say things with hindsight. When observed I am always overly insistent with subs etc. I know it sucks but take your time - stop the clock. Especially as you didn’t have NARs. You also cannot see everything - handballs are easy to...

Even as a wolves fan - agree with VAR call. Not clear enough to disallow the goal.

Fantastic decision - disgusting challenge.

I also think that there are too many FAQs - the laws themselves should have clarity in them.

I actually got rid of it! Only use the wrist thing as like to let my gross sweaty hands have a break and air out every so often.

I use the Molten Valkeen. I’ve tried all of the brands, and I just really get on with it. It took a couple of games to get used to the different tones as it can be hard to control, but I find my whistling is clear, crisp with enough variety with this one. I didn’t get on with the Fox Sonic or...

I think that because it is an offside decision and a goal, it doesn’t necessarily have to meet the threshold. What was done well was that they got the ref to make the final call, which was sellable.

Yes - very good spot by VAR.

There’ll always be players on a pitch that enjoy being a pain in the a%#e… You simply gave him what I bet he wanted… some attention from his mates after the game,

The 81’ VAR check - no for me.

Penalty appeal… thoughts? (72’). To me it looks clumsy and like it could have been a pen…

I actually saw it on twitter with this - seems like referee couldn’t do anything about it. But as @RustyRef said, this is exactly why there is a technical area and why it should be enforced.

I think this is where the laws should have some leeway as it was a clear error of judgement/mistake from the WBA manager (this is coming from a wolves fan!). But the LOTG make it clear that it has to be a RC. Don’t think there was space for discretion.

This is excellent advice. Walk back and sin bin the loudest who walks towards you. Some referees will say that it is ‘weak’ or ‘bad game management’ if you sin bin… they are wrong. Some games need them. Congratulations for not being last weeks referee. If a player is old enough to use...
