A penalty was taken by a Coventry player on 30 seconds on the clip. Slips over makes contact with the ball and hits the crossbar. Ref then gives an indirect free kick to Southampton. Can somebody please clarify what law has been applied here, as I cannot see anything obviously wrong with the...

Wouldn’t have impacted the game as it was in the dying minutes, but really surprised this wasn’t t reviewed and given as a red card. Maybe being almost the last kick saved him?

Had an incident today. 1-1 in a semi final cup game. Corner to blues, and ball bouncing around in the box. Ball is about 3ft off the floor, and red defender stoops to head, forward nicks it off him and I think he then scores or another player. Reds are screaming for a foul, but I said that is...

Watching the Liverpool game and I think Simon Hooper is one of the best referees in the Premier League. Absolutely no drama, good rapport with the players, great positioning. Was a real shame that he was hung out to dry because of the VAR error at Man Utd Wolves, but he installs a lot more...

Really can’t see how the player isn’t deemed to be interfering here? VAR again under the spotlight. But really surprised the on-field team didn’t give it. https://x.com/hojlundpr/status/1697985856408047901?s=46

Had two games this weekend, and two nearly identical incidents. Attackers through on goal, keepers comes out, may or may not have got the ball first, (marginal at best, but don’t see the ball changing direction), but completely wipes out the players. I give penalties for both, as I think both of...

I was wondering if any other refs have experience reffing with hearing aids. This is my second season, and wear one, behind the year one, based during a match on Saturday really felt it was being used to make snidey comments, and querying decisions more than I think they should have. I couldn't...

First season reffing, and today I gave a penalty for playing in a dangerously manner. Defender had his boot as high as the players face, but the forward just pulled out, but did stop him heading the ball. Should I have awarded an indirect free-kick to the attacking team? Didn’t get anyone...
