Yep the average gate will-people attending in the home end will remain the same.

Can’t see it myself. The home attendees will I’d say remain stable but the increase on the gate will be swelled by the big away followings taken to St Andrews (ie 5,000 Sunderland fans travelling).

Will it? How do we know? We’ll all have to wait and see.

They can. They are choosing not too.

That’s a bonus isn’t it?

You mean “going down the chute”?

It’s not the 4th official that adds on the time. The referee indicates to the 4th official how much time is added at the end of each half-the 4th official just relays that to everyone else by holding up the board displaying what time the referee wants adding.

People get confused around that aswell. The game lasts 90 minutes (plus time added on for injuries/subs etc) but that doesn’t mean that the ball has to be on the pitch and in play obviously. I’d say that it was probably on average about 70 mins ball in play?

The reason we do it is not about money at all which I think we have already established. It’s about football/nothing more nothing less and being involved in the game that we all love. I have been doing it for about 12 years and started because of lack of Referees’s on a Saturday morning turning...

Not defending the handball shout at all-assistant referee should have given it all day long but some people are blaming the ref who can’t see it as he is on the far side of the area and his view isn’t clear. People think that we get a fortune to do it-we don’t. A junior grass roots game on a...

Aye, and have an absolute fortune left after putting petrol in their cars to get there and washing their kits etc.:emoji_rolling_eyes:

So a good decision by the referee even at full speed/one look and no slow motion or still to view. But lets not bother with that if he got it right......

One or two idiots on here then. Don’t think they were bullied at school either. Nice of the idiots though to give up their free time on a Saturday or Sunday morning along with lots of other volunteers so the grass roots and junior games can take place......

“Just inside” with the help of a still/picture. The referee sees it in real time and at the time on the box I thought it was just outside. He has to be 100% sure that it is a Pen and he wasn’t which is why it was on the edge. No argument that it was a foul though. :)

Yep-in fairness to Drysdale the handball shout on Sunday was shielded from him and there is no way he can give that. The assistant should be seeing that as clear as day-so in a nutshell the referee would be looking across at his assistant for the decision, no decision was made by the assistant...

As a parasite I thought we played really well apart from the obvious missed chances. We have to be winning that game today but the longer it went on and the chances were missed the inevitable was always going to happen. If we were not creating chances then we would have a bigger issue. I read...

Yeah-that’s me.

At what level though? MFL Premier-a league I referee on-can’t be that great!:emoji_blush:

Foo fighters at Leeds/Reading.

Hopefully back on track with 3 points. Be interesting to see what the attendance is regarding the rain/early KO and it being on the box.
