PAR BAR min 28 Pedro leaves a reckless challenge on Mbappe, who is offside. Clearly deserving of a caution (even in England), but the contact...
Not many best stories so far in 2024… Was walking to my car after a hs boys game and a mom of a (home, losing) player walked over and introduced...
Can’t wait to see how we’re supposed to have more ‘“positive interactions” with coaches.
Well having not watched a game primarily for the refereeing in a long time, I must say that I admire and sympathize with the referee in the...
Couldn’t help but chuckle but I don’t think Griezmann’s shin guard gives much protection.[ATTACH]
I’m no VAR apologist but i can see the CR staying with yellow here without VAR: the point of contact was likely obscured from his angle. This...
I think it’s a really good bit of refereeing- our view is naturally drawn to the action of the kick/block and this occurred on the attacker’s...
Just so happens that I have a pair of ASICS cleats, which I got because 1:they are nicely made (for example, the outer sole plate is riveted to...
If you can’t take nsaids due to gi issues, you might try celebrex, which is easier on one’s stomach, especially if you combine it with an acid...
Just to contribute to the database… I just started wearing some Salomon xa pros last few games. Excellent traction on grass and turf. Have not...
BRE MC. goal kick falls to attacker who scores, defenders with their hands raised for offside. I mean, can you really not know there’s no offside...

In a vain attempt to watch some football that has not been horribly tainted by var, i turn on rma vs las palmas and min 30 an easy penalty call...
lol funny thing about wearing stuff half as often means they last twice as long. When it comes to shoes they might actually last longer than...
So so true- in a multi game day being able to change your base layer, socks and shoes makes a huge comfort difference.
Well, if you want a pair that is best suited for every surface, you get shoes for every surface. I mean if it is frankly wet on grass, nothing...
It’s inconceivable. And how much does the distraction of not getting such an obvious foul affect their focus on defending the immediately ensuing...
It’s curious that the standard has so quickly become “var will sort it out.” This is 100% on the CR who had a clear view of it and didn’t make a...
I was very young but I remember wanting a subbuteo set so badly. I so loved soccer as a young person, only to realize as i got older that my...
I dunno- i know a fair number of accomplished people. There are the ones that climbed on top of their cohort to get ahead. There are ones that...
Not sure if this fits into another thread, but the man deserves his own anyway… [MEDIA] Thank you, @coreyrock, for your contributions to...
Our state’s recent policy for usys of payment on the field is one of the reasons I forewent last season. Of course the mindless recert, kid safe,...
Merry Christmas! I am resolved to be less Scroogey about the hassles of refereeing.
Is the scorer in offside position? Yes. Is it clear that the teammate played it? Yes. Do the defenders have an opportunity to make a composed and...
I bet there’s literally nothing that any of these refs haven’t heard. But the flamboyant hand gestures (like arteta’s 4th caution of the year) are...
