Referees/Assistant Referees

That's a good shot isn't it, of the Official I mean and not the two ladies sitting in the stand ?, it's from the Middlesex FA Sunday Junior Trophy Final between Hampton Terriers and Highgate Albion Thirds played at Rectory Park on Sunday 27 June:

Not SSML but sad news to report that 1985 FA Cup Final Referee Peter Willis has passed away at the age of 85, I'm sure he was one of PetetheGreek's boyhood heroes:

Just wondering whether this is a legitimate goal', cue PetetheGreek:

Just wondering whether this is a legitimate goal', cue PetetheGreek:

 

If a team official, substitute, substituted or sent-off player or outside agent enters the field of play, the referee must:

• only stop play if there is interference with play

• have the person removed when play stops

• take appropriate disciplinary action If play is stopped and the interference was by:

• a team official, substitute, substituted or sent-off player, play restarts with a direct free kick or penalty kick

• an outside agent, play restarts with a dropped ball


Outside agent

Any animal, object or structure, etc., as well as any person who is not a match official or on the team list (players, substitutes and team officials)

======================================================

No goal. 

Re-start is a drop ball.

It reminded me a bit of Martin Peters ghosting in at the far post or an Alan Gilzean flicked header

Another top quality offside decision at the weekend. Fortunately it didn't cost us. Would have gone 3-1 up with 10 to play rather than having had to squeeze through on penalties after conceding in the 90th minute.

Some interesting looking events for Officials where there is no requirement to join the High Wycombe & District Referees Society to be eligible to attend:

That's not even close, who had the flag, Stevie Wonder?

I can only assume that PetetheGreek was on the tie, it's strange the Tring Athletic match report doesn't mention the offside decision:

Sorry to disappoint you but nothing to do with me.

Okay but I am surprised. What did you think of this terrible blunder last night:

Anthony Taylor gaffe as he hands Dynamo Kyiv star Denys Garmash second yellow and red - but he hadn't been booked yet (thesun.co.uk)

It's lack of concentration.

Daft error that should not have happened.

PetetheGreek - This is an interesting article, what do you think of Mark Clattenburg out of interest. I see that he has tattoos which you said you hated with Referees and it was un-professional, he even says 'why shouldn’t a Referee have a nose piercing if they want', I can't imagine you with one:

Clattenburg reveals he quit refereeing after realising he ‘can’t be bothered with idiots like Jose Mourinho complaining’ (thesun.co.uk)

I'm too fussed how Referees look as long as they can do the job like Mark did.

PetetheGreek - These were the disgraceful scenes at the FA Trophy Second Qualifying Round tie on Saturday between Bristol Manor Farm and Paulton Rovers, how would you have dealt with the situation, it appears that the three Officials are just meekly standing off:

I doubt if I would have done anything differently. 

Just stand there and make mental notes of the actions and comments of the Club Official then report to the relevant authorities.

I always remember you keeping your head well below the parapet when things 'kicked off' during a game
