I didn't even know about it to forget about it...! 🤦‍♂️

First one super, super tight - left back might be playing him but played in real time he looks offside. Either way, FAR from a howler if he's marginally onside/offside. See below just after the pass is played (can't pause it any sooner!)... Second one again is super tight, but given this is...

Yep, fabulous game, and well officiated. He clearly forgot he'd already booked Camavinga, but it was a clear DRP in my view - and utterly stupid given the previous nailed on and unnecessary YC - so I doubt it would have altered the decision, but it opens up the narrative (as heard on MOTD).

Using "minimum of seven" and then not being specific as you approach time expiry can assist but it's far from perfect for sure!

Looks to me like when he handles it part of the ball was (or may have been) overhanging the line, however small a part. Either way, it wouldn't be C&O to be for VAR to get involved...

Always tricky situation and damned if you do damned if you don't - had a similar situation in a league match last season where the ball went out for the corner just after the added time on my watch had expired. I let them take the corner, it got knocked about a bit, then was semi cleared to an...

I can see both sides to this argument, but thankfully I've never had a CAR called a cheat, even though I've seen blatant cheating from CARs over the years. It goes without saying - and hopefully even the most lenient with OFFINABUS to CARs or themselves - would agree that calling the referee a...

Firstly, well done on the S/F appointment. First time with NARs can be a bit daunting, but being part of a team and have two extra sets of eyes makes such a huge difference. Useful pre-match notes from @MarcusSFARef that you can adopt as you see fit can be found here.

Think they got confused with initiating a trick to pass the ball back to GK as referenced in 12.2 (I did the same in my head when reading the question!).

Saints fan so feared it was my bias causing me to scream at the TV “Red! RED!!!” 😂 In all seriousness, I’m showing red for that on a Sunday. Like @one says, I don’t care whether he knew it was the ref he was shoving or not. As for the question of whether it’s RC if he pushed another player...

If you don’t get to the 25 games this season your CFA should let you roll over into next season, and hopefully then you can get the promotion before Xmas.

I've been a "club" referee, middling games for my son's U12 to U14 teams in a league that never allocates. I've always been upfront about my son playing for one of the teams and never had an issue, though I'll be honest and say I ended up almost certainly subconsciously favouring the opposing...

I’m with @Archer & @Gabriel - all are RC for OFFINABUS, with the last example being aggravated OFFINABUS that would have resulted in a minimum 6 game suspension, That all happened at U18 and below makes them even worse IMHO. You have to nip all of them, particularly the homophobic one, in the...

I completely understand that take, even though I take a very view. I know this over-simplifies it and each incident is its own dynamic event but one player wins every genuine (ie both trying to win the ball) aerial battle and it would follow that when there’s a clash of heads then it’s a foul...

👍 They’re great, even better when you have team sheets and can pre-fill (you can tell the level I referee at!). Word of warning - in the rain they’re useless, though will work with a thicker tip Sharpie. Also, if you’re prone to being sweaty, or referee in hotter temps, make sure the match...

Don’t even see careless there, let alone reckless, let alone SFP. Stop game for head injuries, drop ball to light blue.

Touche!

Based on the video timer, it's in the keeper's hands at 7'29, and the whistle blows at 7'39. I'm with others that the presence of the first and then second attackers complicates matters, and I'd have paused the count, but when the hand's raised and the count is going the GK has only really got...

I got these last year - very sturdy/hard, blank on the side you show and saves money on stickers. https://www.refstore.co.uk/products/write-on-card-set?srsltid=AfmBOopnqr6ZrenWJylTCgEVui1UmWztjotmEFFsXJ-hXpZBeIOp6TZk

It gets pretty lonely, that's for sure!
