Yes, and the 4th official casually walked toward him to ask him to move after the throw in was taken. I don’t understand how it’s acceptable, it’s so easy to enforce when there’s a big white box there to guide you

Is this answer I wanted :)

How many attempts do current level 4’s have at the fitness test? I’ve heard on the rumour mill that it’s only 1 attempt this year (surely that’s incorrect?). I’m travelling for 4 weeks and return to a test 3 days after so no time to prepare. If the 1 attempt is right, I’ll put it off until the...

So his idea to fix what he’s cited as a problem with the wording of the law, is to have an appeal system whereby referees will check for a second time something they’ve already checked. Tell me Gary, does the appeal allow them to reword the law as I’m not sure how that fixes you concerns …

Agree with the majority of this. It’s my first season at 4 and whilst I’ve enjoyed the better standard, spectators, neutral assistants etc, there’s a lot more outside of the match day itself which I’ve found has taken away a chunk of the enjoyment, something I didn’t have last season. That being...

What we don’t want is referees making decisions based on assumptions

Must have missed the part where VAR told Wolves they had to stop defending after the 95th minute

There we a few in that arsenal game. Havertz and Gabriel both on a booking the - Havertz dive. There’s no question in my mind that the referee is going to card him and then hesitates - Gabriel dissent when he thinks he should have a penalty. Runs a good 20 yards to shout in the referees face...

He doesn’t, this is edited (likely why they zoom in to keep the referee off the screen). If you watch the full footage, there’s no whistle and he doesn’t put the whistle to his mouth either

I assume the owner will be banging on Elangas front door for the chances he missed in the game, or Taiwo’s for trying to dribble the ball out of his own penalty area in the 98th minute. Probably not

There’s also a video of a fan getting onto the FOP and running at Tierney after the Liverpool goal, only for the Liverpool players to stop him. Week by week, the respect for referees is dropping, not improving. Humans making mistakes is not an excuse for all this

Blue cards is the best part of the sin bin plan

I agree, it appears to be more for the show than it is the decision making, but if the VAR’s sole purpose is to recommend a review because they believe the onfield referee made mistake, how much credibility would they have if they kept being overruled? If the referee is being called over, it...

Managers and pundits keep making the argument that it’s inevitable that it’ll be awarded if they go to the screen but I’d argue that’s exactly the outcome we want. They are being brought to the monitor being told that after review, they’ve potentially made a clear and obvious mistake. We don’t...

I have many thoughts about Bruno Fernandes but I don’t think the admins would approve the post

Agreed. Endo knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s designed to impact Van Dijk

And the rest. Looking at their list of videos all of the thumbnails are some sort of fight or tackle. And to say the captain handled it well, my god. I would want to get that captain off the FOP as quick as I could

Why would anyone want to referee these YouTube teams. They are nothing but trouble

They are blind to the impact their tweets have on grassroots referees
