    Josh Smith Portsmouth v Oxford

    Im not sold on red. I've not seen the previous 18 or so minutes so dont know the temperature of the game (commentator, in one video seen, said something like he needs to get control of the game). Its reckless. Definitely. Serious foul play? No quite sure. Only good thing i like about it was...

    WHU v LEE

    Just like half the Hammers did at the ground. Difference being is you could to back and watch, they couldn't.

    Atletico v Barca VAR

    But isn't it VAR that fans have an issue with? As in, they think theyre missing loads of stuff within VAR and not helping the ref.

    Atletico v Barca VAR

    I understand that, but its the same people who run both.

    Hated AR

    Reason wasn't abandoned was explained (to the fa) as a safety aspect.

    Atletico v Barca VAR

    Yet fans want European refs as they're supposedly better

    Hated AR

    As said, was very much last minute of the entire game. It was felt safer for the AR to get the players back on the pitch, get them away from AR so he can "escape" safely during the distraction of restarting. It was felt that if abandoned at that point it would have put the AR in more danger...

    Hated AR

    Other than advice already given, not much more to add. Tell him to watch you, your actions/reactions to any potential incident and to take his time. I only add the last part as I was assistant on my dads last ever game (he was middle). It was sunday league that, at the time, had enough refs to...

    USA v Belgium kit clash

    Not necessarily. You realise when players look up and see black, they could well be thinking team mate, pass, and then realise theyve made a mistake.

    USA v Belgium kit clash

    Had a game, Sunday morning league, where home team had an approved kit of yellow and black stripes but a plain black back. Their numbering was an outline of white. Amount of complaints I got from their own team passing to me because I was wearing black and it confused them.. said tough...

    Ref across different FA/League

    I stayed in Bracknell and then moved to Bedfont. I initially stayed with BBFA before moving to Middlesex FA where I done games in the Surrey Youth League. As long as you send disciplinary info to correct FA you should be fine. Lots of leagues on boundaries understand that refs locally could be...

    Germany v Ghana

    I only saw one step, his right foot which he uses to balance himself when striking with left.

    USA v Belgium kit clash

    I watched this and thought the exact same thing. Was really hard to tell who was who on the tv. Tried to pay more attention, I thought, to shorts and socks but then one had white shorts and black socks whilst the other had black shorts and white socks. Again, watching on tv distance it was hard...

    Germany v Ghana

    Penalty awarded to Germany via VAR for handball. Stuart Atwell is the referee. He was looking straight at it, no obstruction or anything. Yet failed to give it live. Just dont get it, why it had to go to VAR. Anyway, the penalty itself. When do you class the run up to be complete when...

    England v Uruguay

    If it is genuinely a card for Gimenez, that makes the refereeing decisions on fouls even worse as this challenge, too, was reckless at best. He was off the floor with both feet jumping into the challenge. On landing there ended up being minimal contact but moreso because the England player moved...

    England v Uruguay

    And this was slowed down.

    England v Uruguay

    What im struggling with is the situation with who he has apparently booked and the timeline that at least the tv people are telling us from when they've been told info. On screen, live, it looks like Ugarte is booked. Then Ugarte gets another card, following Whites goal, 10 minutes later. Comms...

    England v Uruguay

    Its baffling. They're saying the first one, the foul caution, belongs to Gimenez..

    England v Uruguay

    Its now being claimed (and Flashscores has updated itself) that Gimenez was the one carded first (despite the ref pointing at Ugarte, walking towards Ugarte, and shoving the card in Ugartes face) and rescinded his second one on field. Dont get me wrong, we can do that if we've genuinely made a...

    England v Uruguay

    Thats what i was thinking. He managed to "change his mind" in a second. Is it a penalty though? He put his shot over the bar and the feet made natural connection for me. He has given nothing to England for worse challenges.
