Doesn't need to come for them. Mee and Tarks use their heads to clear the ball instead.

Sad news however I was kind of expecting it.

He refereed the Newcastle v Everton game on the 30th of Jan.

Just shows how pathetic some people are on this board. All it needed was someone to point out there was a typo.

Tony, lighten up. People are only trying to add a bit of humour to the board.

Nobody was having a pop at you.

My point was that you can be offside even if the ball is kicked backwards.

Apologies if I have misinterpreted what you typed.
At least we have black and white clarity so our fellow clarets won't get mixed up

I think perhaps you're not thinking of players moving. If Chris Wood is standing on the goalline when McNeil crosses the ball from three yards this side of the goalline, and the ball is crossed backwards so Wood has to run back to the edge of the six yard box and place one of his spectacular neck-t...

It's irrelevant which way the ball is kicked. It's where the player is in relation to the ball that matters, not which way the ball is travelling. Sorry DSR, that's not correct. Well partially correct Law states "Any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the...

And apparently we were wasting time the whole game! We must be the 1st team ever to waste time when losing! :D Commentary I listened to actually commented on the time wasting.

Mathematically its still quite possible for WBA to catch us up, (though I don't expect it). However I can't imagine any scenario after this evening's result that WBA could end the season with a superior GD to us, so effectively we are 9 points clear of them and they have 18 to play. So they would n...

I have also got through January without touching a drop and found it relatively easy considering what I was like last year. 0.5% beers have been a godsend as others have said and made me realise I don't need to drink like I did, I think there's a bit of psychology in it as well.

The ball was actually leaving the penalty area from Jay Rod's boot. A United player heads it initially after the clash and Jay gets a boot on it, the ball goes up and Friend blows just as it is going out of the box. By touched the definition is played the ball technically. There is no logic Jay "pl...

Tony,I was working from memory, however, if you watched it back and the ball was in the air having been last played in the penalty area, then the restart is a dropped ball to the keeper. I had thought that the ball had actually been cleared and been touched by a Claret before the referee blew --obv...

The one we refer to didn’t go to the team who last touched it.

Hence the word "should"

dpinsussex

The drop ball is now uncontested, it should go back to the team in possession or who last touched it unless it has come off the referee and gone to the opposition. The opponent must retreat 4m and can not encroach until the player has touched the ball. The side in possession can not score directly f...

Having refereed many times at the Pilot Field I can tell you it is a massive pitch. Lovely club and always made to feel welcome. Their academy / youth set up is fantastic. Lots of opportunities for youngsters to make the first team early. I suppose when playing mens 1st team at 16 and 17 you learn v...

Sorry dpinsussex, had missed that. So has that rule/interpretation changed mid-season then? If it has, that explains it because I’d seen pens given for less. Tbh, does make sense and probably a fair call given Maguire was jumping. Correct that is exactly what has happened and was then cascaded down...

I’ve just watched the extended highlights back on United’s site so had United biased commentary! On reflection, I think you might be right in Shaw. I thought yellow last night but watching it again, more a red. Maguires goal I thought he called correctly, but agree it was harsh and I’d be disappoin...

We've to get to about? 37 points by May and even for SD that's going to be almost miracle proportions from where we are now. Yes, we're playing pretty well, especially defensively, but the front 2 look extremely flat and that's an issue in itself because we really don't get many goals from elsewher...

The Maguire handball was a correct decision. The interpretation of the laws of the game are now that if the arm is where it is expected to be when the ball strikes assuming there has been no deliberate movement to the ball then no penalty should be given. What they do not want is the ridiculous pena...

But we know that VAR can be used to check for potential penalties. I'm talking about an incident where a free kick is overturned and a free kick is given to another team for a separate incident.

A penalty is a free kick

dpinsussex

Seems like he was making it up as he went along to me. I can't recall ever seeing the VAR overturn a free kick for one team by awarding a free kick to the other team for a separate incident at the other end of the pitch. Obviously it would have been unjust for Man Utd to have a free kick in a goals...

Lots to discuss - and I’m more relieved than disappointed in the outcome. I think Shaw got a touch on the ball and his follow through caught JBG which is why he got away with it. But can the referee, in reviewing a possible red card for one of our players then go back and award a free kick to us fo...

dpinsussex

That's what I did - and I wasn't known as a decent ref! The ref and has team have to look for goalkeepers coming off their line, look for some illegal movement of the penalty taker, and look for both attackers and defenders encroaching into the area, not to mention to notice if the ball crosses the...

In the papers today Steele is being hailed a hero. the point is he cheated at every penalty by moving off his line so early the Newport manager is heard complaining about the last penalty.

I don't think, strictly speaking, that corner flags are compulsory for a game of football. They're there to help the officials decide if it's a corner or a throw in, I believe.
