I can answer that for you, RustyRef - Mr Malinski has stated on Twitter recently that he is not a qualified referee, but states that he has refereed and acted as assistant referee on Under-12's games.
I wonder if this forum has got any actual boundaries. What next, you will tell me you know where I live and have seen photos of my wife and kids? Can I ask the moderator to to the decent thing and reprimand the poster above for crossing the boundaries of my privacy?
You post on Twitter with the same user name, so you put that information into the public domain. I'm qualified in digital forensics, but I didn't need to use any of those skills to work this out.
I already replied to Rusty privately and am hoping that that as a moderator he can go above our petty differences and so the right thing. Just because I post on twitter under the same name, doesn't mean this info can be reposted elsewhere. If the stalker finds photos of my family under my name, does that him the right to repost them here just because they're in the public domain?
What you post on the internet is down to you. If you post on here and someone ties it to the same user name on a different social media that is down to you.
Sorry, no case to answer here. The poster you refer to has just commented on what you have posted on a publicly available social media site. There is no "personal attack", no idea where you think that has come from.
I would have to disagree. The laws have an illustration designed specifically to show which parts of the arm are and are not within the parameters for a handling offence when the arm is extended. Here it is.
I agree, and this is a law change that really hasn't helped referees. With the previous law it was generally easy to determine if the ball had hit the arm, now it is anything but if it hits high up the arm.
I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with me about. The picture shows exactly what I said and what the text of Law 12 says: "in line with the bottom of the armpit." That's not the same as any t-shirt I wear, and talking about t-shirts gets players moving the line further down the arm than it actually is. (I've heard players say it was OK because it "hit the bicep"--which, of course, goes down lower than the bottom of the arm pit.)
100% this. once the arm is extended, where "in line with the bottom of the armpit" is pretty hard to discern, and even with video is not clear, which was the point I was trying to make.
The diagram on the LOTG were recently updated, last season I think. The old diagram did not really marry up with the text and I think lead to confusion caused by misapplication. Heard so many referees referring to the sleeve which has always been irrelevant in the text.
