Yep-keep getting emails from the Coventry RA to ask if we will do a few matches for their leagues. Could do a match 7 days a week at the minute with the amount of leagues struggling for Refs.

Yeah he got home sick and fell out with Phil Neal. Used to lodge up by the forum in Cov a couple of doors up from my Mum. Played snooker regularly with him and David Carmichael who was at Cov also at the time but he hated me beating him all the time. 😁

Indeed. Certainly not an apology. I have no problem trying to explain a decision to anybody who questions it-the trouble is that the person/persons asking will never accept the reasoning, especially if it’s against their team. No point in even asking the question then half the time….

A great incentive for them then-Shrewsbury at Knights Lane if they manage to win the reply. 👍

Yep-we are not experts by an stretch of the imagination. There are times when we have to look at the Laws to check the odd thing, but of course we are always right when we check! 😜

Yep-the classic “dangerous play” and an indirect free kick being awarded is the bicycle kick. Another less common example of dangerous play where an indirect free kick would be given is when a player sits on the ball or the ball becomes trapped under the player. This is when the boots would...

Oh right-home or away?

If anyone wants to watch a bit of local football on Tuesday evening-get yourself down to Knights lane. The first time that Stratford Town have the chance to get into the first round proper of the FA cup. A chance to get the likes of Sunderland or Sheff We’d if they win the reply! 😁

Indeed. Think he has become a bit of a closet Cov fan as he’s been doing it for so long.

Unfortunately this is all too common an occurrence nowadays. We recently had a game where an abandonment was the only option after a major brawl where the police were on the scene within 4 minutes. It carried on after the game aswell in the car park. Obviously can’t go into details as it’s an...

You are right in one count “obstruction” is now “impeding an opponent” But you have been listening to the pundits again I’m afraid regarding “yellow card for dangerous play” Dangerous play is a red card or “endangering the safety of an opponent” to be more precise. The pundits also love “it’s...

A game of football and sometimes it comes to this..

Where is the lack of consistency? It only happened last week? Lets see what happens from now on in regards to other teams and then your point may be valid 👍

Yes-or if he impacts the game or interferes with an opponent who is trying to play the ball.

Flip the coin over then-most fans thinking Godden has been treated harsh by blatantly diving for a penalty and then defend him!

Like I’ve said on numerous occasions previously-all the best referees are in the crowd. I knew it was a correct decision and was quietly laughing while the rest of the block I was in were losing their heads as they don’t know the laws of the game but think they know better than the officials.

That’s a silly comment. The Referee got it right “just”. No grey area in a correct decision.

Yep-that’s the latest one doing the rounds.

to go long with distribution when needed rather than fannying about. Obbar that good save against forest. Think defensively we have done pretty well this season its been two sloppy errors that have led to the goals we have conceded And as we all know that if you are a “ good shot stopper” as...

Are we seriously thinking this is an option? 😂
