If it begins with F'ing then it's red - eg yesterday 'F'ing halfwit yesterday' earned a red. Similarly, anything with cheat in it also - as in last week, ' cheating b' stard.' then anything b' stard, Roger Hunt etc.
Amazing how many are surprised to see red after though.
I think safeguarding the wrong term here. However, there is that fine line at primary school age where the kids might just not show up any more if they are battered week to week.
Penalty correct. 2nd incident is bit of a push, below the neck - fact that he ended up in the crowd made it look worse than it was along with subsequent reactions. Would barely register elsewhere on the pitch. For me, sensible in a derby Cup tie when close to half time.
The inevitable has happened. Last season I refereed this derby fixture and it was probably my worst ever performance. Made a complete pig's ear of the 2nd half in particular. In my inbox for Saturday. Press confirm and get ready! Pre - match and first 15 minutes crucial.
When we think of all the stick AARs get for doing nothing when in fact they're mic'd up and talking away to the referee about incidents etc, I don't think it does any harm in these situations to do it the old fashioned way and show the referee and AR talking it over before a decision is made...
Thatcher and Blair won about 43% yet had elective dictatorships for much of their time. The presidential system in the US at least limits what the President can do whereas Blair literally did what he wanted, suffering no defeats until 2005 with a smaller majority and lustre waning.
I would...
Electoral College usually coincides with a popular majority - rare it doesn't. FPTP allows massive majorities with 35+% of the popular vote - e.g. Blair in 1997 with about 43%. PR systems like STV as used in the Republic of Ireland usually create a stable government that also usually prevents...
Moment of stupidity / loss of concentration. Showed the yellow, guy asks 'can I take this quickly?' and for no apparent reason I say go ahead. Not really sure how we managed to get restarted without a riot - if just one player or manager had said something I could've disallowed it legitimately...
Nice and loud 'do you want it now or on the whistle?' This especially when close to the penalty area. Nobody can then argue and usually works well.
I did at start of season allow a 'quick one' after giving a caution to the defender. Goal naturally scored as is the way on such occasions. Could...
I tried that earlier this season (for a caution admittedly) for a similar tackle but not DOGSO. Eventually it dawned on the team offended against that I hadn't a clue and their captain shouted over 'for C-t's sake ref it was number 5.' Cue number 5 looking sheepish and me calling him over...
