In Tigres-Columbus we just needed two minutes to disallow a goal on an offside decision that was so exceedingly obvious that even the putative...
Is there a bigfootball message board you can go post on?
https://english.ajax.nl/articles/future-cup-explanation-of-new-rules/ This video talks about the rule changes, although not always in enough...
I thought the first PK (for Tigres) was a good call. Even if the arm doesn’t extend, it’s still a shoulder into the back, even if it’s not tons of...
Three high school centers in five days? I would've assumed that's a normal week for most of us. European vacations don't pay for themselves, after...
A couple of goals disallowed for offside after review. Other than that, nothing too interesting.
It just took 3+ minutes to rule out a New England goal for an offside in the buildup.
The only mass uproar that could make a deal happen would probably be from a Messi injury that could be blamed on a ref “letting the game get out...
Yes, most of my local youth tournaments usually pay the same amount as the standard state league rates, but games are usually 30 minute halves for...
I get that most of the rule differences are pretty minor. But those are still things that can bite you in a high-stakes game. I've worked with...
Agreed. Everything else is overcomplicating. The one other thing I'd say is that if the ball is close to being over the line when it's handled,...
This varies tremendously state-by-state. I've read some of the horror stories here about being stuck with terrible games, old-boys-clubs, etc. My...
Tournament this past weekend. I'm AR1 on a U11G game. A few minutes in I hear a little voice from the bench: "She licked me!" The coach responded,...
A2 may be in an offside position when A1 is fouled, but he isn't committing an offense if A1 still possesses the ball. So what the CR allegedly...
Quite an interesting last few minutes of the match (this incident, two red cards, and Giroud playing GK). More highlights here: [MEDIA] As for...
I understand where you're coming from, but there's no water polo here so it's not like I have much of a choice in that regard. I haven't done too...
Highlights lowlights from the big local club's fall tournament: I had to spend eight hours helping run my school's cross country meet before I...
I had one game last night and five games today. We've got a few refs who want to work tons of games because they need the money, and a lot of refs...
Clear and obvious?
Back to the original topic, I have to admit I didn't even know a "light size 5" was a thing. If states/competitions want to enforce this policy,...
I had games at 8, 10, 12, and 4 today. 300 total minutes of action, with three of the games on turf. I think the temps were about 85 for the first...
6 minutes of stoppage time. YC at 95’ for time wasting. Whistle blown at 96:00. (That’s one of my biggest pet peeves.)
I was really going to be worried for the rest of the tournament if that didn't get changed to a red card.
Imperative is a mood, not a tense. (Sorry, I'm a recovering English teacher.)
So wait…have we had four different AR1s in this match?
