    Junior/Youth speaking to 16+ year olds

    Exactly. Society has brought a lot of them up to be horrible and disrespectful. Added to that, the professional game openly encourages backchat, verbal abuse of refs, cheating etc. The FA keep doing the surveys, but they know what the issues are and are too spineless to do anything about it.

    Ending the match early

    Why don't the winning team just play with less players (much more sporting) ?

    Quick freekick

    I don't see what's unsporting about it ! They're playing within the law. The defenders needed to react and block the shot

    Quick freekick

    But you're then taking the advantage away from the attacking team. It's them that has been awarded the FK and should have the advantage of when and how they take it ! Perfectly legit goal in my opinion

    Liv City - Klopp and Pep for maybe the last time

    In summary. I think there's something fundamentally wrong with the LOTG if even referees on a forum can't agree with certain decisions. I think the beautiful game leaves way too much to interpretation.

    Cup Finals

    I think you raise a good point. I've never been paid to referee or be AR at a Cup Final, and i've just gone along with it as i've been flattered to be chosen. But yes, I think somebody should be paying us

    Liv City - Klopp and Pep for maybe the last time

    ...and then you have pundits like Shay Given saying last night, that because he touched a fraction of the ball first it's ok. We've seen many red cards given for tackles that have got the ball first but the type of tackle endangered the opponent !

    Freiburg v West Ham

    Your pic shows a standard volley. The guy in question is trying to hook it high and away with a tackle coming in behind him. Why would he throw his arms up to deliberately stop the ball, when he wants to clear it away from the area ? I think we'll have to agree to disagree. Problem is, the...

    Freiburg v West Ham

    When you're kicking a ball away like that though, your arms are not down by your side

    It's a natural position when you're launching a ball away

    Forest Vs Liverpool

    That's a good point.

    Forest Vs Liverpool

    I'm pretty certain Forest would have clipped it into the corner, and tried to hold it there for the remaining time, so i'm not sure Forest would have needed the opportunities to clear.

    Forest Vs Liverpool

    What worries me, is players feigning head injuries just so that they can stop the game. That's a really low thing to do. Perhaps the LOTG should be changed, so that any player that suffers this injury should be removed from the FOP so that the medics can take a look at them ?

    Advice on soft penalties

    Years ago when I was playing, I had a moan at a ref for a soft pen and he said to me "penalties are like eggs. There are soft ones and hard ones. But a soft egg is still an egg"

    Junior/Youth Sin Bins In Academy Football?

    If they are only on a friendly basis, they should ref it themselves then. They either want a qualified ref to do the job properly, or they don't !

    Bruno Fernandes - Thoughts?

    So the punishment already exists ? 🤔 Jeez ! Why do they keep coming up with these ideas / campaigns, then drop them after a short while ?

    Junior/Youth "i'm a qualified ref!"

    Playing against the Met Police was always a challenge. People that are supposed to respect laws and play fair ?
