I said in jobs where impairment would put lives at risk, not that it wouldn't impair your ability to do your job as a ref.
Can’t say I’ve ever refereed a match on it
I didn’t highlight the referee’s part.
Oh sorry is this a gotcha? Have I don’t cocaine before? Yes lots of it. Neither a secret nor a big deal. Rubbish drug really, there’s loads that are a lot more fun.
Agree with that. Overhyped.
What are the odds that he was being blackmailed to fix matches and is now exposed because he refused? #plottwist
Can't read the PL's policy without sending an email request but it's something I would expect to be the case. In cricket the rules are pretty clear on not having communication devices. I vaguely remember a few years back someone had to remove a smartwatch because that could possibly be used for communication.
If an official or player is able to use a phone at half-time for example, that opens up all sorts of potential issues. I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this allegation in the media because it could be a far more serious offence than calling someone a cnut. And if it's not against the rules then it certainly should be.
Slim to none.
Yeah because this little "hey film me doing coke" would have refused
Awful refereeing decisions are not purely a recent phenomenon. Even in an era of “tough” footballers, how does he not send Sprake off?

Bloody hell. That’s straight up assault.
Just saw the Ireland penalty that wasn't given. I don't have the ability to post media, and definitely preferred my England to beat the Irish, but how in the actual feck does VAR manage to not give them that penalty? It was 0-0 as well so potentially had a big effect on the outcome of the match. VAR referees need to start being fined and dropped for such nonsense

In fairness he kicked out, he could have no complaints about getting punched. Back then that would have been expected.
Reminded me of this, couple of 2 footed lunges and a punch. 1 name in the book. Today that's possibly 2 or 3 reds.
They gave Isak offside on the pass to Gyokeres
Did VAR check Armstrong and Kelleher situation? I mean if you give WestHam penalty against us, how is this not. It is same person at VAR. It is even more contact here.
Refs let Delap elbow Evans in the face and shove Mazraoui over now. Small clubs being allowed to get away with stuff like that constantly changes the game. Gets thr crowd up and shifts the momentum.
Yeah it happens all the time, like two different rules depending on how shit you're perceived to be. Especially bad when it's a late TV kickoff
Yep, Taylor allowing Delap to act the League One standard thug he is.
Yep, it seems insignificant but it’s not. It changes the game.
Glad someone brought this up, bet we get the first yellow when the amount of late and dodgy challenges and general thuggery has gone on.
Explanation for not awarded penalty for Saibts is laughable. They say Armstrong first made a foul on Bradley. Yeah, right.
Had to turn off the CL conference. Football if united is not involved is completely dead for me. The refs and VAR completely destroyed the game. VAR is a great idea but the refs are literally not fit for the job. Absolutely insane that this is a pen.
Well then
How much more is there to Coote? He just Cootes on giving.
That was a really nice goal, but eh why was it given? Bodo/Glimt player clearly offside standing in front of Onana.
That's a crap rule but it seemed pretty obvious the guy was offside and directly in front of Onana when ball was struck.

Totally missed that … have to watch the highlights later
He doesn't move towards the ball and does nothing to interfere with the play. He's 8 yards away from Onana; there's no way you can genuinely argue he's a factor. Given where the ball went Licha is the one who did far more to block Onana's view.
In the last replay they showed (directly behind the ball) you could see the player directly in Onana’s line of sight. Obviously unintentional but still offside and in line, whether Martinez was also in the way is a moot point.
Like I said it’s a crappy way to have a goal ruled out but I’m just pointing out uneven application of the law again.
You can't possibly argue that he's obstructing to a significant degree when he's 8 yards away.
I can't recall a similar example of a goal being ruled out. Feel free to provide one to justify that the law is being applied unevenly - otherwise this seems like a nothing-burger.
If he stands in the line of sight, you can argue that Onana doesn't have as much time to react or anticipate where the ball is going, and therefore it influences the game.
But yeah, I agree; I don't think he would have saved that one either way, and it shouldn't be ruled out.

Speaking as a goalkeeper you absolutely can. Sometimes the hardest goals to save are shots that come from behind a player that’s quite close to where the ball is struck. If you don’t get a clear view of the shot as soon as it’s taken lose a lot of the information you need to make a save.
You see it happen a lot when strikers curl the ball around a defender who is a long way out from goal. The keeper doesn’t make that first step early enough and can’t get across to make the save.
I haven’t seen a replay of the goal so have no idea if that applies here.
Sorry, I agree with you and should have clarified - I meant more in terms of flagging that offside when the striker makes no movement towards the shot and isn't even the player closest to the ball, Licha was.
How is he impacting the Goalkeeper?
Well, the goalkeeper will make a judgement call on if he should stay where he is or try to reach the ball before the opposition player gets to it. So yeah, there is an impact.
If you take that Southampton striker out of the equation then clearly it would affect the goalkeepers positioning, and his decision on whether to come out of his goal to intercept the cross. It’s a tough one though.
Since when is offside enforced like that, since the law was changed years ago? When the player makes no attempt to play the ball they're not offside. If we look at other goals with players in offside positions who don't touch the ball, could they affect the GK or other players, of course. Can't recall other goals being chalked off for it in recent times, other than from corners which was also stupid use of VAR imo.
It's inconsistent nonsense isn't it? Killing the game.

Meanwhile silva literally needing to be shoved aside for a stoppage time city winner was judged fine
How on earth did this need to go to an on-field review, its quite clear that the ball hit her chest and not her arm?
