I mean it's not easy to keep count of everything (without going into all the possibilities) but something needed to be done about the timewasting and "fake" injuries to slow the game down. Just annoying this goalkeeper trial announced by ProRef only covers the professional game for now.

Thanks, i'll get there one day.. 🤯

if he says no and they've kicked it out or gone out naturally he doesnt come off..? and if i've stopped play he goes off for a minute regardless ?

We had a good debate in the changing room as he asked how my games were going and said "player only goes off if having treatment" to which I was not wanting to correct a Level 3...but... 😏

This is why I posted the question I did a few days ago, was told this exact same thing from a L3 on a game I did at an academy.... again thats what they'd been told on a zoom call!

Hi all So I had my summer CPD the last week of June, and have tried to apply all the new LoTG (where applicable) in my pre-season games. The only one I am not understanding is why the necessity to blow my whistle to start a 5 second countdown?? I think the idea in principle is good, and I...

Can't say I've ever received a teamsheet in pre-season, if there was anything in the game I needed to report I would email the secretary and get the name that way.

So just making sure I'm doubly/tripley/quadrupley sure on this, because the "explanation" (if you can call it that) for Law 5 contradicts the change. The explanation says this: " An injured player who is treated or assessed on the field of play or who causes play to be stopped must leave and...

So for the avoidance of all doubt, if I stop playing for an injury (I notice a player down and he isn't getting back up), they DON'T have to go off for a minute? Because that's what I've been doing..

Yes but I was at a Suffolk FA pitch today and even county officers were telling me it's only if they require treatment whether they accept the treatment or not. But IFAB clearly states in that bullet pointing that it's one or more of those points, as said above for me if I've had to stop playing...

Hi all Can I please clarify Law 5 just on the basis I may be understanding it wrong. An outfield player is required to leave the FOP in an actual or suspected injury in ONE or MORE of the following. Play is stopped because the player has an actual or suspected injury • the referee has...

To be honest I used Archers actions have consequences and the game was well managed this afternoon. Had one RP YC and no complaints from anyone. I suppose each game is different.

Oh 100% and I'd much rather get through the game with no cards, its more the persistence of the moaning whereas these 2 examples were directed not personal but what you would call dissent. The fouls I agree, the tolerance is higher and it was only shown because it was late and reckless.

More of a rant here to be honest. I've been fortunate to cover 4-5 pre season fixtures currently, with a couple more scheduled in midweek and Saturday over the next week or so. I had a internal Vets vs Reserve team on Sunday last week, and last night 2 Eastern counties U18 sides so that one was...

the RPP pack just says officiate 25 games in the middle. In the end I officiated vastly more, but yeah as you say if i'm wrong then best to check i'm sure every county does things maybe they're not supposed to.. just thinking back as I qualified at this point last year i was told pre-season...

yes, you absolutely can - I would check with your RDO as potentially varies by county. I had a mid season friendly between christmas and new year during the "break" that was used for 7-6 promotion with no issues.

Ah nice! I have no idea where we're staying or any details haven't heard anything from RefereeAbroad although I know there's 6 tournaments on at the same time as this one. We've been rumoured were staying at Paris Uni halls. And we're all on the Eurostar leaving London at 12.30 to Paris Gare Du Nord

Hi mate we have 4 coming from Norfolk, as well as 3 observers. What about you?

Hi all me again, I am attending with my RA in a couple of weeks for the Paris World Games. Just wondered if anyone here has been before and has any tips they can give me. There has been less communication from RefereeAbroad this time around.

Curious about the other penalty that was given, Gordon I believe. From Eze's shot the defender moves his arm (well his elbow) deliberately in the path of the ball to prevent the goal being scored. If you're going by IFAB it should be a red card for DOGSO?
