    Man Utd vs Man City

    If VAR had not been introduced into the Premier League, what would the outcome have been? 🤔

    Spectator Sent Off (with Red Card!)

    Was the game in question in your local County FA area? Was the neighbour's son cautioned? Is your neighbour's name Walter Mitty or Hans Christian Andersen? (Asking for a friend 😉)

    Verbal distraction inside the box???

    The OP hasn't given us a full and clear description - they awarded a corner kick, so presumably the attacker got a shot away, and I'm not sure whether there is enough for a DOGSO.

    Black card introduced

    The Romanian FA have introduced a black card to indicate "Match abandoned because of spectator behaviour" in games at ages up to U-16. Firstly a ten-minute "players off, match suspended" takes place, then the final sanction, if needed, because of ongoing spectator behaviour. As match officials...

    Whistle-less refereeing

    Yup - referee in hearing impaired football uses a whistle and a flag for communication to all players. It works pretty well.

    Club score

    The OP was worried about not getting club marks before their next couple of games. That made me wonder what they would do when marks arrive - change their style, worry about clubs' comments? For what they are worth, reading them after receipt is certainly worthwhile but hoping they arrive...

    Can only join a league if I register with a specific Referee association

    The reason for asking is that would allow locals on here to advise you. There was a post a few months ago with a similar issue.

    Liverpool v Nottm Forest

    The other consideration under the current LOTG is the timing of the substitution countdown and the part the board plays.

    Damaged goal posts

    Suggestions: 1. Check whether replacement goal available (e. g., in my local park, coaches can access the chained up spares) 2. If not, alternative pitch available? 3. If no alternatives, advise both coaches and seek their OK to play the game despite the damaged bit 4. Crack on! 5. Report to...

    Crewe goal

    One for you to consider: Reds attack breaks down, Blues full back comes away with the ball, then is challenged. Turns back, plays the ball towards the goalkeeper. Reds attacker was hovering some 5 metres behind the goalkeeper, runs forward, gathers ball, kicks into Blues goal. Do you think he...

    L4 Assessment Slump

    One of the issues is the question of "average marks". As Observers, we (should) enter the appropriate mark in each section, based solely on that day's performance. The criteria for each section of the report are published to referees and Observers. Observers do not see the total mark awarded...

    Can't be a first caution for leaving without permission as it is described as normal football movement.

    Amendment to Law 12.

    With regard to point 1, what I meant was: Red team all back to defend under pressure in the last five minutes of the game. Red defender kicks ball to Reds goalkeeper. Goalkeeper picks up the ball. In your plan, the goalkeeper now has to kick the ball up field, although all his team-mates are...
