International Appointments / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/2023
« on: Tue 14 Mar 2023 11:47 »
Oh dear… Lahoz at Arsenal will not please some.

Oliver back in the fray in a hostile atmosphere and could be a tasty match for Kovacs too.

What could possibly go wrong with the unpredictable Lahoz with the whistle and Iratti on VAR !!!??

Best set of appointments ever   :) :)

 

No Kavanagh or Harrington again and no Dan Cook/ James Mainwiring.

James Mainwaring is at Everton

Additional time is allowed for a penalty kick to be taken and completed at the end of each half of the match or extra time. When additional time is allowed, the penalty kick is completed when, after the kick has been taken, the ball stops moving, goes out of play, is played by any player (including the kicker) other than the defending goalkeeper, or the referee stops play for an offence by the kicker or the kicker's team. If a defending team player (including the goalkeeper) commits an offence and the penalty is missed/saved, the penalty is retaken.

That is the Law. From your post it would seem it shouldn't have gone that far

General Discussion / Re: Quality of referees
« on: Mon 17 Oct 2022 11:48 »
As the Chair of a very large Junior League we find this a problem. We try to offer our support to any referees and try to take the clubs to task. But there's very little we can do as a League without the support of the Local CGA and the FA.

One instance that springs to mind is that of  a manager pouring water over a referee. We banned said manager for enough time until his team would be out of the League. Que intervention from CFA who said we could not do that and manager allowed to continue. Voting teams out needs a 2/3 majority and tbh most of the clubs are insular and don't see the bigger picture. All they see is kids not being able to play football. We had to resort to withdrawing fixtures, which we probably not allowed to do but we have to try. the most annoying thing is parents abusing U18 referees and if someone spoke to their kids like that they'd kick off.

The dissent sin bin seems to have cut a lot of player issues down, and as a referee I welcome this. But the problems have to be addressed in my opinion from the top down. So start sinbinning players at PL & EFL for any sort of dissent and for a few weeks it'll be carnage but then they'll learn. If not then start docking points.

No simple answers but it can't be just grassroots tackling it. it must start with the professional game.

I still remember in a meeting when I operated at semi professional level why language was tolerated in the PL & EFL and the response was it's a workplace!!! Well I'm sure most workplaces wouldn't tolerate their managers being treated as our referees are.

Terrible decision never a penalty. I’ve personally never rated him

I really don't get what they see in Siebert. But he appears to be the blue eyed boy in UEFA terms

There seems to be a pattern…. Whenever the officials have worn that purple kit… we lose!



Sends memo to the appointments peeps to ensure all refs wear purple for Fulham games!

Does BMB need to go sit on her own naughty step after that comment lol

Wayne Rooney moaning about how a match official speaks to him. Is he having a giraffe

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60585235


Then you google Wayne Rooney ranting at referee and get all this

https://www.google.com/search?q=rooney+ranting+at+the+refereee&rlz=1C1ONGR_en-GBGB970GB970&oq=rooney+ranting+at+the+refereee&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160.6578j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Perhaps he will one again be invited to explain his comments?

Surprised she's only done half a dozen Football League matches in the first half of the season.

She's done a number of WC Qualifiers and Women's Champions League matches. I wonder whether as she still refs on the WSL if she has to do a certain number of games on the highest women's League to maintain her women's FIFA status?

How the hell do you go back to refereeing or playing after a shooting at a football match!!

Mansfield Town F.C. (First Team) v Sheffield Wednesday FC (First Team)
EFL Trophy   
Referee: Welch, Rebecca
Assistant Referee: Wade, Stephen
Assistant Referee: Parry, Matthew
Fourth Official: Tallis, Scott

Shame I'm on holiday next week I'd have tried to get to this game. There's history between the 2 clubs as well going back to a preseason friendly that kicked off 2/3 seasons ago.

Could potentially be a feisty affair.
