Game at the weekend where a player went sliding in to tackle and totally missed the ball and player. The player had to leap to get out of the way of the player which allowed the opposition to gain possession. Other than having to leap over the tackle, the player was otherwise unimpeded. I gave...

I can't work out from this if it should be 2 cautions or 1 at the discretion of the referee.

Pretty sure there are some developments points here! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGej8NMpt/

https://referee-equipment.com/products/the-goat-card-set Christmas coming up, and my current set have had quite a bit of use. Are these any good and worth the few extra quid or should I just spend a few quid off Amazon? I tend to use them for write on btw with the stickers.

I know you can't, but I had one of those games yesterday (with one of those teams - you know the type), where I just seemed to miss things. Or at least I was informed I missed things. A couple of examples... Free kick from about 40 yards left side into the box. I position myself and move to...

Probably makes sense. It's very unlikely to make it worse, but you would be taking out some current active fop referees unless you have them rotating with the VAR or it becomes a bespoke VAR role...

More out interest that anything else. Respect handshakes are back in our leagues again. Do you get home team to walk by away first, or away to walk by home first? I'm not sure if there is a specified way, but my choice tends to be away walk past home to start. In my head it's the hosts...

I've got some credit left to spend on my workplace health benefit and I was thinking of using it on some therapy treatments. I don't have anything particularly identifiable as an issue at the moment, so open to trying all ideas. Obviously have the standard options of sports massage, but I...

A good reminder for refs as well as players to pay attention! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJsvHxBx/

IDFK for dissent as per LOTG. Most of the time I find that dissent comes at a break in play so there is normally another restart about to happen. Here's my question though... how many people are stopping play to issue C2 with an IDFK to restart? I tend to make a mental note and then go back...

Portsmouth 0-0 Cheltenham Town - Fan runs the line as two assistant referees injured at Fratton Park https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66482419

Heard part of it on the radio last night on my way back from a PSF. Some really good messages being shared. This is the full interview. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g5tlm3?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Hi everyone I'm interested to see how others are managing the new directive with reference to getting players off the pitch to be assessed, the 30s min delay to their return etc. The 30s seems pretty easy, it's just getting them off the pitch in the first instance for the assessment. I had 2...

57' GOAL VAR No goal was the decision for offside, but I was left a bit confused by the image shared. I'm not quite sure what we were shown and how the decision was made by by this? In my head I'm expecting to see the body position of the player that passed the ball. It came from a heel...

About 4m 15s nearside AR starts to signal with left arm (non flag hand) at 45 degrees. Not quite sure what was going on at first, but then noticed he was mirroring the ref. It looked like he was mirroring an advantage signal. Not sure if I've ever noticed this happening before

Interested in views on how you would deal with this... https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMY5eAAbc/

In the video clip with Brian Clough about half way down. Head to 2m55s in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64742833
