    Do They Forget What It’s All About?

    Relatively easy game to ref yesterday, despite the fact it was a local U13 derby, in fact none of these incidents are from the match itself, so this might not be the right place to put it. More so to do with the behaviour of the away manager, and the fact people seem to forget that an U13 league...

    Strange Kick Off

    Never seen a kick off like it! Home team for every kick off (which was quite a lot, was a high scoring game) would just take a run up and boot the ball. Their player had a great kick on them, and kept putting it in the opposition corner every time. Away team would go mental, claiming he can’t...

    Der Klassiker

    "You give a referee that has match fixed before, the biggest game in Germany, what do you expect?" Incredible words from Jude Bellingham after the Der Klassiker. Did anyone watch the game? What’s the incident that caused this?

    Penalty Own Goal

    Let’s face it, this will never happen. “The player taking the penalty must kick the ball forward.” It would take an extraordinary gust of wind for a penalty to end up in a players own net. So this is obviously not a real question. It’s not really even a hypothetical question either because...

    Low Card Count

    So far I’ve only been doing youth games and haven’t done too many (started last season so everything’s been interrupted, once I get a string of games together and build confidence I might consider a change) Still I feel my card count is very low. As in, it’s 0. After 20 games. I know youth...

    Where in the Laws Does It Say About

    (1) Obstruction - I have played in a lot of games where a player, on the floor for some reason, uses his legs to trap the ball between them to try keep the ball. Every opposition player shouts “obstruction”, IDFK is given. But where in the laws does it say anything about this? Is it actually a...

    Villarreal vs Man United

    An awkward start for Dr Felix Brych. Game kick off delayed due to a problem with his communication device. Shame, he’s one of my favourite refs

    Am I going crazy?

    Genuinely perplexed as to an incident yesterday and cannot tell whether I messed up or whether the knowledge of the laws is really that bad. 1-1 after about 15 minutes in an U12 game. Away team takes a long range effort, keeper saves, it falls to away striker who taps it in. Away striker is...

    Injury Time in Junior Football

    I went to watch my younger brothers U16s game last Sunday, and something has been eating on my mind since. The ref is a very good one, very experienced. He’s in his 70s now, referred in the National League and been an AR in the Football League. His grandson plays in a team I referreed often and...

    A Simple One (Not Me)

    Guess who’s back... back again. It’s me with another question although this one is a lot more plausible than my last one So, imagine this scenario. Team 1 get a direct free kick which they look to take quickly. A Team 2 player shouts stand on the ball and his teammate does so. The player who...

    Hypothetically Speaking...

    I understand this is an unlikely event to happen in a football match, but someone asked me this the other day and I was intrigued as to what other refs would say A Player of Team A (let’s call him Player 1) is stood in an offside position. A teammate of his (Player 2) passes back to Team A’s...
