mack Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Playing in a dangerous manner is any action that, while trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player themselves) and includes preventing a nearby opponent from playing the ball for fear of injury. Award indirect free kick to the opposition, give a yellow card to the keeper and the guy with the afro for unsporting behaviour (showing lack of respect to the game). sonar and Paul01 2 Link to post

Prydzopolis Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I have a group for my fellow referees to join. The group is called refcoach https://www.facebook.com/groups/refcoach/?ref=share They mainly post videos to their group each week to discuss considerations in coming to decisions. They’ve also started to run workshops now, the last one a month ago was on DOGSO & one tomorrow night on severity of fouls. Mainly run on zoom but also use a few little online learning tools to make it interesting. Throughly recommend sonar and Unlimited 2 Link to post

Davo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Reminds me of the Brazilian guy who used to do the seal dribble. Ended up retiring early due to a combination of managers not taking it seriously and defenders getting sick of him doing it and constantly injuring him. Prydzopolis 1 Link to post

OK for Premier League games, OK for All Age Mens/Ladies 1 and maybe AA Div 2, any lower than that and I'll probably whistle for it I think one thing that is missing from there (speaking from my lowly Level 3 referee badge which is probably expired now) is game management. Imagine this: Striker is put through one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Goalkeeper rushes out and gets the ball just in time before the striker can get there. Striker obviously trips over the goalkeeper but - fair play - goalkeeper got there first. Being a more experienced referee (heh), I half kept watch on what the striker would do after. Goalkeeper punts the ball down the field. Striker runs up behind the goalkeeper and basically shoves the goalkeeper over when the goalkeeper wasn't looking. Two hand push. What did I do? Red card for the striker. Violent conduct off the ball. This was a youth football match. Now, if this was an All Age Mens match or a Premier League match, it would be a bit more iffy. Some referees would definitely show the red. Others I've seen would basically tell the striker they're on their last chance and give them a yellow. If it happened in the A-League or EPL, almost certainly just a yellow max. I don't think inconsistent application of the laws of the game are bad. If I refereed every game like I did a Premier League game, it would be chaos. You'd have 14 year olds flying around with both feet off the ground. If I refereed every game like I did an Under 13s where little nudges are pulled up, it would be the dullest game of all time. I think the job of the referee is to let the players play the game in a way that is safe and to their expectations of how their game will be. Premier League players have a certain idea of how rough and physical their games can get, so they should be able to play to that level. That is at the cost of an "inconsistent" application of the rules. At local level, that pre-game briefing with the captains is important. Set that standard and let them know.

mack Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 2nd yellow in a shootout for jumping off the line (when you're supposed to give them a warning+retake first and only give a card for 2nd offence) and then the refs forgot that Orlando had used all their subs so had to take back the keeper subs they allowed. What a joke. And if you look at the 'offence' it's absolutely miniscule. https://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2020-11-21-orlando-city-sc-vs-new-york-city-fc/details/video/249636 lmao.

There was more after that. After the outfield player makes the save (spare a thought for the player whose penalty was saved by an outfield player) to make it 5-5 the referee blew full time. There's a video of the whole shootout here and at 19:55 you see how everyone is standing around confused then you hear the referee blow the full time whistle, everyone goes crazy and starts celebrating, the referee listens to his earpiece for a while then calls them all back so Orlando can take their last pen to win 6-5. mack 1 Link to post
mack Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This seems like a dick move from the ref going to VAR and then allowing it despite it being nowhere near the spot of the foul. Link to post

Davo Posted Thursday at 01:14 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:14 AM Weird one in the Burnley v Manchester United game in the prem yesterday. United defender Luke Shaw makes a tackle in his defensive third which the referee deems to be legal. United make their way up the field and play the ball in behind the defense for Cavani to go one on one with the keeper. Burnley defender Robbie Brady brings him down just outside the box and the referee gives a foul and a yellow card. VAR tells the ref it's probably a red for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity and he should review it on the little TV. The referee reviews it and agrees that the Brady should be sent off. He then goes back through the build up and decides that the tackle by Shaw was a foul so he cancels the yellow for Brady, gives a yellow to Shaw and gives a free kick to Burnely just outside the United box. If the review decided that Brady shouldn't have been sent off then the original decision would have stood and they wouldn't have looked back in the build up. Basically it was a situation where the referee was deciding whether a Burnley player committed a red card offense. If he did commit a red card offense the end result is a yellow card to a United player and a free kick to Burnley on the edge of the United penalty area. If he didn't commit a red card offense the end result is a yellow card to a Burnley player and a United free kick on the edge of the Burnley penalty area. Unlimited 1 Link to post
mack Posted Thursday at 01:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:37 AM https://streamable.com/6xiftb The VAR protocol in the laws specifically says that a review for goals, pens & reds for denying a goalscoring opportunity can include how the attacking team gained possession of the ball in open play. It comes down to the definition of a 'clear and obvious error'. I think the ref going back just to award a yellow card doesn't seem to be a clear and obvious error to me when the guy has to watch 50 slowmo replays back and forth before deciding on a yellow. An error yes, but it's not an obvious one like upgrading a YC to a Red Card, and the protocol is specific about how you can't VAR check a missed 2nd yellow, so going from no yellow to a yellow because of an unrelated incident isn't clear and obvious to me. Which would have lead to the play going on as normal and then giving a red for the Burnley defender. Link to post
