But if I have to stop the throw in being taken to assess him - does that not constitute stopped the game? And if it doesn’t - then can’t players just circumvent the rule by going down when the ball is out of play and wasting a few seconds?

Stopped the game because he was injured and on the floor.

Hi all Situation today that I would appreciate your thoughts if I could have handled any better. Red player is fouled - advantage played - stays on ground - advantage over ball lost for a throw in to blue team. Player will on ground - I stop game to attend to him and ask if he needs...

I thought the ref was superb.

Of corse there are different expectations the rules are completely different. That is what we are discussing here.

For a corner? Not worth it

Oh because everyone arguing if it hit someone’s head or hand is a great watch as well. I didn’t think I needed to point this out but obviously people try to score a goal more than they try to hit someone’s hand as the reward is greater.

Should be like hockey. If it hits your hand in the area - corner accidental or not. If it’s stops an obvious goal - penalty. In hockey (albeit with feet) it is a skill to defend without getting the ball pushed onto your feet. Likewise it is a skill when attacking to try and push the ball onto...

Waterproof notebook Amazon - only thing that doesn’t fail when it is chucking it down

Doesn’t appear to be any real advantage there for me - correct decision. Possibly could have held on the whistle for a fraction but I think would have ended up being pulled back for same outcome anyway

This is great advice. I personally also like to sell my no free kick decisions as well. Communicate quickly, ‘no foul’ and a clear outstretched arms hand gesture to tell everyone I have seen it and it is not a foul. Shows everyone that you are in control and you haven’t just missed it or are...

Yes - I am not putting in a SAR or anything like that just gonna ask lol

Not normal practice to publish would be done privately if at all.

Thanks all for your replies. Bit of confusion apologies on my part and just to make sure no one else uses their time replying the same thing… I do fully understand how club marks work at level 5 and at 4 and I don’t particularly care if they are 0 or 100 to be honest. That said, in my...

Hi all Would it be a reasonable request to ask a referee secretary to provide me with my club average and position in the referee panel rankings for the season for the league? Purely out of curiosity more than anything. Thanks

Anyone ever done this? It happened to me in a cup final with a goalkeeper, 2nd yellow for delaying restart, forgot I had booked him. Obviously had to stick to my guns and show the Red. Not a great look and took some flack.

Keep it very simple. Contact them beforehand to confirm details. Ask them if they have got any questions and go through anything you would like them to do extra to a normal AR. Enjoy having two neutral officials!

How many people if pushed by a player on a Saturday / Sunday would go yellow card and how many would go red? I agree about the laws but let’s just apply some common sense here. I’m a teacher, if a student pushes another student and a student pushes a teacher the outcomes are, quite rightly...

If a player pushes me on a Saturday he is getting a red card, violent or not. Context is key of corse - this looked to me as a ‘get out the way I want to get on with it’ shove rather than a ‘let’s have a fight’ shove. Does that matter? I’m not so sure. As a caveat, I do think SB dealt with...

And could be a good excuse to put him as junior ..
