This is absolutely appalling. He’s club president and apparently a politician as well. I hope he and the other attackers see jail time over this.

Sad news out of France that Ligue 1 referee Johan Hamel has passed away at the young age of 42.
Apparently he suffered a stroke whilst he was training. He was the VAR official in the PSG game on only Sunday. Such a sudden shock and loss to the refereeing community.
It’s quite complicated and took me a while to get my head round it too so I completely understand the confusion. The Sky pundits did explain it at HT which helped.
So as the offside offence technically came first this discounts the penalty. If an offside is given it can only be overturned if a...
Because the linesman flagged it for offside beforehand. The offside nullifies the penalty shout and can’t be reviewed as no goal came from it.
Had the AR kept his flag down the penalty could have been reviewed.
Most of the match was quite loud with drums/chanting throughout which we had no problem with. The issue is with music being played is that I’ve never seen that at any level before.
Obviously at higher levels of the game you get goal music etc but this usually stops when play restarts
I was the senior AR on an FA Vase game today and faced a situation which I have never come across before. The travelling away fans had brought a large portable speaker with them for which they used intermittently throughout the game.
They would mainly use it to start chants amongst themselves...
Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of OA football.
The main thing I would say is to be confident, both in your manner and appearance, as well as when giving decisions. Players will latch on if they sense you're unexperienced and easily swayed. (It's ok to internally be nervous and...
I did not see the alleged VC, only heard it happened from the players and spectators. Without any NARs I had no one else to consult.
The away team took the offending player off minutes after so its safe to say it probably happened.
Maybe a touch more lenient if it's being played in a good spirit. However I find most friendlies I do are still quite competitive and can get aggy so then cards will start coming out as per a normal league game. You don't want players seeing friendlies as 'free reign' where they can leave one on...
In this instance the attacker who took the ball after the foul had two players to square it to in the box who would have had an easy tap in. Alas his cross went straight to the only defender in the box who promptly cleared it for a corner.
But if I ever have this again I will definitely be...
Had an U23 development game last night. Greens v reds. Greens were on a breakaway attack down the right hand side, red defender comes in and fouls the attacker but the ball bounces to another attacker so I signal advantage. Whilst the attacker is starting to cut into the box I hear a commotion...
Referee Store had 100 come in stock and sold out within 3 minutes. I’ve never known anything like this for ref kit. Is demand so high or just low supply?
