I mentioned it once and then defended myself... At no point have I said I'm basing my decision on the outcome. I'm basing it on a solid advantage. You can try to change the scenario to suit you or you can use your eyes and see the clear advantage. 😒

How do you know what I was thinking? Regardless of whether it's a 2nd yellow or not, the attacking team have a clear goalscoring opportunity as a result of the advantage. My comment about the 2nd yellow is valid though, neither team is going to argue this decision and, apart from the incorrect...

From what I've read this will be fine. The longer term vision is for AR's to be in county badges. As people L5 and below gradually renew their kit they will only be able to get the county badge. It's only the referees at L4 and above that are no longer permitted to wear the FAMOA badge in any...

If you play advantage and intend to go back and issue either a 2nd caution or a straight red you MUST stop play if the offending player gets involved in play again before the next stoppage. Restart is then an IDFK.

Let's say you don't play the advantage and the attacker slides the ball into the net. He's 1v1 with the keeper and I'd hazard a guess that ANY professional attacker would back themself to score there. The 1v1 was a better opportunity to score that the free kick that'd be 25 yards out. The...

Did he not give the corner? I missed that! *EDIT* I'm an idiot, should have been an IDFK when he played the ball again after the advantage... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great bit of refereeing! Neither side can complain, attacking side had their advantage and still ended up with an extra man.

Whistle arrived yesterday. Nearly deafened myself testing it out... Highly recommended!

Just ordered the Storm All Weather Safety Whistle after reading some reviews. Let's see if that pesky striker still claims he didn't hear my whistle...

A few guys I know have tried these and complain that the flags are too big and the button too sensitive. Very easy for the AR to accidentally set the buzzer off while moving. Difficult to get hold of but if you can then Touchline are the way to go.

Didn't watch the game, was it picked up on field or by the VAR? LOTG simply state that if a team-mate if the goalkeeper offends and the ball doesn't enter the goal then the oenalty is retaken. VAR protocols don't change the laws of the game, only what they are and aren't authorised to...

In law, it makes no difference if that player gets involved in clearing the ball or not. May well be a consideration on whether we penalise them in practice but in law the offence has already happened long before he clears the ball.

I'd assume it's the Greek player a yard inside the box right in front of the referee. The French player may also be on the line of the penalty area but the Greek player's infringement is clear. It was saved by the keeper so a retake is correct.

Tracksuits are fine, they fall under the 'training/leisure wear' umbrella.

My plan is to get a few of the new badges from Rob Lindsay (he reckons he'll have them ready if a week or so) and see how well it applies over the top of the FAMOA badge. Anyone ever tried to apply a DIY badge over the top of another heat applied badge?

Edited, no mention of AR's not wearing on step 5/6 games.

Reply received today. FAMOA badge no longer allowed for any referee in the middle on any game from step 6 upwards.

Email says tier 3 & 4 of the WFP. No idea what the equates to though!

Email sent asking for clarification. 1 shirt to cover mid week and weekend games at the start if the season won't fare well. Gonna need to use my spare! Hopefully the new badge is big enough to cover the FAMOA badge on my 6 month old top!
