Depends if I have the same environment as they do in the Premier League, security, medical staff in attendance in case the the player in question decides to attack me after I've administered the sanction etc... (FWIW, I'm leaning towards a caution for Martinelli, as, i know many hate it, I...

I'm erring on the side of this tbh, probably a difficult sell as a foul, but I can see one in there. Why should it be any different to 2 players going to kick the ball and one getting there later than the other and kicking the opposition, I'm sure referees wouldn't have hesitation in giving that...

I watched the match, or at least most of it, and even though I'm a Rams fan, I wouldn't say, imo, the keeper had tested the refs patience. Else, having been a Derby fan my whole life (I'm 35 now), I would've had no sympathy whatsoever for our keeper, as we really don't help ourselves as a team...

This was with around a minute to go of injury time. Wouldn't say there'd been any more time wasting than what we see on most games with a 1 goal difference. Didn't result in a goal, but thoughts.(For the record, I am a Rams fan). Start at 7:25

I'm expecting teams to want 'cooling breaks' in my games this weekend after a couple of days of 14/15°C, I'll be saying no but I'm sure a goalkeeper will get injured at some point in each half and the teams will pop over to their respective benches and there's nothing I'll be able to do about it...

A similar situation happened to me once, keeper took out attacker at the edge of the area and ball was going into the empty net. I got away with it, holding my whistle a couple of seconds to see if the ball would go in but a defender that I hadn't spotted cleared it and I blew for the penalty...

I used to be a bugger for missing numbers at fouls and the like, I trained myself to clock the numbers during the 'event', 2 players running down the wing for example. Best advice I can give really. Just takes a bit of training. Other things to clock are boots, hair etc, if something stands out.

Was AR2 at step 3/4, FAC early stages, home manager kicking off on the other side over a nothing throw in (AR1 and R had crossed signals) around 15 minutes in, 0-0. Ref gives a caution as manager won't shut up, walks away, gets 20 feet and see him turn around, walk back and out comes the 2YC I...

I'll admit I didn't watch the replay at 6:29. So definitely in an offside position. Doesn't attempt to play the ball or challenge an opponent when it first bounces over him, obviously he then challenges the opponent when the defender goes to clear it, but with the amount of time passed...

Anyone care to give their thoughts on the above Vs Derby County? I'm a Rams fan, and I thought the goal should've stood. Can't tell from the video but player was likely in an offside position when the ball is played, but there's so long between that and the defensive kick that I would class it...

Having just watched it for the first time, after unfortunately reading the thread, I can see a point for red or yellow in real time. On replay, I think a strong yellow. At grassroots, I'd think I'd expect a red if I had a good view of it (I think the straight leg makes it look bad, even if the...

It will come with experience. I can think of a couple of times I've given a red card for OFFINABUS after the final whistle, once to an adult mens captain at step 5/6 who very loudly through a group of players used language towards me, and only a couple of weekends ago when a goalkeeper came...

If the game/situation allows (as in not heated, not difficult player), I call in player for offence, tell why, ask name, show card then let them move away to position while I'm writing name down, trying to keep my wits about me as I do it. Otherwise just slow it down and ask name, write it down...

Thank you, and I agree. Not a good sound for someone who I would expect to be more professional in their opinions.

I was watching the game last night and noticed it live, then got really annoyed with the commentator banging on about how wrong the officials were or had made a major error. Right or wrong decision, it wasn't about Dack!

https://www.skysports.com/football/video/26947/13470978/gillingham-2-2-crawley-league-two-highlights Start at 2:30 Corner comes in, ball comes back to taker straight from an attacking player, flag goes up just after the original taker touches the ball the second time. Ball lofted in and Dack...

A very good point well made. Had a men's adult game at the weekend where I cautioned a player for entering the fop without permission. Mix up on a substitution/injury incident/procedure. Had the player started to move onto the pitch and hardly come on, I'd have used spirit of the game and left...

Says it all though, 3rd time cups had been thrown, makes me think as mentioned in the other thread, the Staveley incident wasn't an isolated incident in the match...

Do it, if just for the facilities, standard of games, things you'll learn from much more experienced referees. Even if you only have a season or 2 at 4, it's worth it.

I had this issue yesterday, my RDO told me CC would take precedence (I did email back stating I believed it was the other way round unless SF/F) but RDO said they'd take me off CC to keep the supply league AR officer happy. Would've been easier to replace me on the CC as was a more local game to...
