My advice is give more free kicks, if remotely looks a foul give it, tendency as ex players is to let the game flow but losing match control is really easy. A better scenario is ‘come on ref that was soft’ than an escalation to players confronting each other, you can then let the game flow later,

Are you giving YC for throwing a boot off the pitch? 🤣 From 0.47

I would stop play in a neutral area for all injuries in junior football, unless it was obviously tactical or persistent. Player safety is more important. In fact I would extend this to the lower levels of grass roots, Vets etc, it is recreational football for enjoyment after all.

Players on the pitch, finished 4 v 5, so had to be abandoned in law. I’ve no idea how the referee decided who not to send off! 🤣

I wonder what Howard Webb is thinking in terms of how PGMO/referees respond to recent comments from Nuno, Slot & Glazner? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/cdr2mnmll3po PS. has anyone seen any real difference in grass roots football on the increase in grappling at corners or GK...

Added time penalty, but any complaints? https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxy5rymTyJoCcPU0xZKozGCdM7B2L6Giuy?si=f0vU7aBIiYZWZ83v

Would you give that as a foul throw?

I’m missing something wouldn’t this be deemed supporting your body? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxjRThmOGRbrhXS1lmMvA2p55mI6_hYCNn?si=X8o9JKLKp0xdtIqF

Oh dear, Chris Kavanagh got way with one there. Scored from the free-kick which should have been a penalty.

Gosh what a challenge for the match officials. A great advert for VAR! VAR would have disallowed the goal & I think given red for Digne. I think red for DOGSO is fine, that was the GK intent, the striker would have an empty goal, the GK on the halfway line.

That’s a good tip ask the captain. I have gambled on a couple of occasions, loudly asking “Yes please”, beckoning with your hand, at a group of players which hopefully includes the guilty player! Worked twice so far, but could go wrong

Keep going, you’re self reflecting, improving, try different approaches, asking for advice well done. Just some games are a pain, Collina or Oliver would have exactly the same issues! Have you a refereeing colleague who can come & watch one of your games? Are you a member at your local RA for...

Noting it would have been a second yellow for Haaland. (Why take your shirt off?!?!)

The referee & VAR had to disallow the goal & show red. Two fouls can’t cancel each other out. The referee will get it in the neck but it’s two bad decisions by Allison, give away a needless penalty & then leave the goal unattended in open play?!?!?

That was the point 4th official allowed player 23 on to the pitch when he wasn’t on the team sheet as a sub. The difference in Elite football is the subs will have their own squad number.

No real surprise, two ineligible players, Swindon thrown out of Vertu Cup. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c20grxdnr0eo I’m still intrigued if the 4th Official is culpable in letting a non-named sub on to the field?

I do think we should think about some of our posts, in that they don’t come across as rebukes, the poster is acknowledging errors & asking for help & advice. Otherwise we will eventually have no referees willing to post their experiences.

We have to remember a players arms need to be somewhere. Is Man C player making his body unnaturally bigger or extending his arm for balance the same way the Wolves player is?

I see arms out like this is natural, twisting/ changing direction at speed you do use your arms. Interesting the BBC Poll is 90% for No penalty so must confirm it is not a clear an obvious error.

I think this highlights how IFAB law makers/interpretation has made determining hand ball so difficult. Our elite referees are confused, no hope for grass roots referees or non-referee stake holders. If its deliberate hand ball it’s a penalty/red card if its non-deliberate then no penalty/no...
