    Anthony Taylor

    Retired with immediate effect! Bit of a shock 😲 Was the RDO in Cheshire when I was starting up and was very helpful when I saw switching counties back from uni and then a move away a few months later - top bloke, pretty decent ref too

    Uruguay - Spain

    Only seen brief highlights but thought he dealt with the red impeccably. Solid initial decision then excellent composure to manage the player reaction. Not a ref I particularly like but this definitely caught my eye.

    old kit / donations

    i've a bag full of old kit, umbro and early nike tops plus training gear - anyone know if there's a place that will take/use it and donate to anyone who wants it? or is it destined for the tip?

    Josh Smith Portsmouth v Oxford

    Heck of a call 16 mins into a proper relegation 6 pointer Scissor tackle, possibly looked higher than it was in reality and I'm not sure VAR (if in use) would recommend a red if a yellow was given live, but I'm happy with it - nasty challenge

    Sin bins and half time...

    trying to help a friend out...and i know we've discussed this before (to death probably) but i can't find any previous threads in a recent step 5 game he's given a dissent caution at half time whilst still on the field, observer has queried not using the sin bin to which the ref replied saying...

    Utd v villa

    This is controversial... TB HAS to be letting play go on there, really poor to blow up in the first instance preventing VAR from getting involved, but he's got it wrong too, massive keeper error and it's helped cost villa a champions league place

    Real v Arsenal

    Had previously rated this ref highly...not anymore, he's had an indifferent 25 mins and this pen decision is a shocker VAR bailing him out...no clue why its taken them fully 4 mins to figure it out. Appalling process

    Artur Dias

    Game of the tournament. Referee of the tournament. Superbly reffed in difficult conditions

    Youtuber becomes a ref...

    I posted about this game last year, this time it ended up being reffed by a group of youtubers/influencers. Enjoyed watching it but then again that's because I made the winning pen save! Please donate if you're able, very worthy cause. Teams are refs vs managers from the west Yorkshire area.

    Old school ref - how to provide advice?

    Had a game yesterday (I helped out last minute) on a local cup semi final - ref was 'old school', not too much to disagree with in terms of major decision (9 yellows and sin bin all looked fine) though there were 3 errors in law which undermined his own credibility, and certainly his match...

    Awareness and alertness

    Shouldn't a top level official with AR/4th be seeing this live?

    What in the hell is this?

    Will see if I can fund some better context...

    Copa liberators final

    Some bizarre refereeing going on Imo missed a clear red for a head but that he appeared to be looking directly at. Another clear yellow missed for a 'Harry kane' challenge on a player jumping in the air. I get its tough and you want 22 on the pitch but feels like there'll be cards later in...

    Birmingham v Preston

    Looks as bad a 'ghost penalty' I gave ages ago I'm still ribbed for

    Netherlands v england

    This is beyond basic. Must be a lack of concentration and/or awareness not helped by being a hood yard out of position. Clearly not expecting the English mistake but not exactly a suitable excuse

    Mike Dean

    This feels unhelpful in every way... He knew it was a foul but didn't send the ref to the monitor (for whatever reason) and ended up 'costing' Chelsea 2 points. I hope it was just a one off but that hardly makes it better.

    United v Wolves

    This seems clear as day...everyone is expecting a penalty here
