Hi. Bit rusty, as 3rd game of the season this morning,after not reffing last season much at all. Ball goes through to goalkeeper, striker chasing, goalkeeper catches, minor collision due to momentum but keeper has the ball. Didnt have the best view if I'm honest but seemed minor happens all the...

Penalty or no penalty?

Hi all. New ref, 4 weeks in and 11 games under the belt now. Learnt loads in that time hasn't been a disaster but certainly not the finished article by any stretch! Todays game raised some questions in my mind. Had a mens Sunday friendly match today, gave a DFK just outside area, no complaints...
