    Georgia v Luxembourg

    Echoes of Burnley Vs Bournemouth a few years ago when Bournemouth thought they had equalised, given onfield. VAR then recommended a review, the Bournemouth goal was disallowed and Burnley were awarded a highly debatable penalty for handball instead.

    Clash of the toe-tans

    In one of the youth leagues I used to ref on, 8 out of 10 teams wore Black shorts and socks, used to be a bit of a nightmare at times! For a professional club to make this kind of mistake, especially a Premier League club when playing one of their biggest rivals, is inexcusable really. Barring...

    Villa vs Tottenham

    McGinn's "challenge" was wild at best. Zero intent to play the ball and lucky it didn't result in a serious injury.

    Sunny Singh Gill - Palace Vs Luton

    Sunny Singh Gill ref'd his first Premier League game yesterday taking charge of Crystal Palace Vs Luton. The main talking point from his first game seems not from his on pitch performance, but his reported decision to sign autographs as he left the pitch at half time. Former PL ref and now the...

    Law Changes from July 2024

    If I have paid £50 for a match ticket as a supporter, I certainly don't want to watch a keeper standing with the ball their hand for circa 20/30 seconds or taking nearly a minute to take a goal kick (which we have all seen many times) multiple times a game. Just like referees ignoring keepers...

    Burnley Vs Bournemouth

    Burnley annoyed and understandably so as Bournemouth's Tavanier kicks the ball away from a Burnley player as he is about to pick the ball up for a throw in, no card shown on this occasion by referee David Coute. Burnley's manager Vincent Company was not happy. It's this kind of lack of...

    Burnley Vs Bournemouth

    Footballers are never really known as the brightest of sparks, but Burnley's O'Shea has to be a candidate for one of the quickest and most stupid yellow cards of the season. Within the first 30 seconds of the game, O'Shea knocks the ball out of play and into the crowd and his momentum takes him...

    WHU v Bre

    Yet Webb himself was guilty of some appalling inconsistency when he ref'd in what he considered what was worthy of a penalty and what wasn't.

    Would you report this?

    Well done for reporting it, even if nothing comes out of it... Had an "interesting" one in my penultimate season. Home team I had ref'd regularly over several years. Good bunch of lads on the whole, one of the players was a tough but mostly fair competitor, who's tackles occasionally stayed...

    Nottingham Forest appoint Mark Clattenburg as referee analyst

    Think Nicholas Jackson could do with some referee 1-2-1 given the number of yellow cards he has picked up already this season, even managed to get himself a yellow after being subbed off against Palace for over celebrating a goal!

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    Pick the bones out of that one. Sheffield United goal disallowed after VAR review for offside. Stuart Attwell blew his whistle immediately and appeared to disallow the goal initially for a push or handball in the area by a SU player, but then goes to the screen, talks to the captains and then...

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    I get that Brighton players were angry at the challenge, but Dunk screaming in Attwell's ear with no reaction or disciplinary action is not a good look.

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    2 handed shove in the back no longer considered a foul in the box or a C&O error :confused:

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    Horrible knee high lunge by Mason Holgate on Mitoma. Initially given as a yellow card, but referee Stuart Atwell is quickly sent to the screen to review by VAR Michael Oliver and the yellow card is upgraded to a straight red. My issue with the incident is Stuart Atwell effectively appearing to...

    BRE LIV

    Wasn't talking about VAR specifically though, wasn't mentioned at all in my post. On pitch decisions are inconsistent as they have ever been. Kick someone through the back of their legs or barge them in the back - Nah, no foul, stand on someone's toe the next week? Foul! :confused:

    BRE LIV

    As I said in a previous post, given up wondering what is considered a penalty worthy foul in the PL these days as decisions are so inconsistent week to week depending who the referee is and where they are refereeing.

    Forest-Newcastle

    There is definitely a secondary upwards movement of the Newcastle keeper's arm before the contact, but I have given up trying to understand what is and isn't a penalty in the eyes of the PGMOL these days.

    WOL vs MUN

    Sorry RR can't agree, there has to be a time that we need to stop defending the indefensible. Top officials are looking incompetent on and off the pitch, too wrapped up in invisible guidelines and protocols even they don't know what is "clear and obvious" anymore. As system that was introduced...

    When to retire

    Mentally I was torn, I would drive to games full of doubts and thinking why am I still doing this. When the game had started, the fog usually cleared and I zoned into the games. Then I would get home, sometimes spending several hours in the evening writing a report to justify the most blatant...
