Interesting debate on RefChat about where we are re the LOTG at the moment.
Someone posted a list of the number of offences ignored in the PL (and the EFL) and also some down to grassroots. What is the answer though? Thought Clive and some of you may be intrested to see the list!
"-Dissent (individual)
-Dissent (group)
-USB (individual joining a melee)
-Abusive language
-Threatening behaviour (coach)
-GK six second release
-Delaying the restart by standing over the ball
-Delaying the restart be kicking the ball away
-SPA
-USB (blatant holding)
-Offside (narrow/blatant offside with interference not flagged, ball stays in play)
-Offside (offside position, prior to interference, high likelihood of collision with GK)
-DFK/penalty (shirt pulling)
-IDFK (preventing the GK from releasing the ball)
-Injured player to leave the field followed by dropped ball
-Substituted player to leave the field by the nearest touchline
-Any offence leading to a second yellow card (!)
That list is now pretty much normalised. The Arsenal Newcastle match had them all. Most competitive EPL matches have most of these.
Why does this matter? IMHO it makes IFAB, PGMOL and the LotG a farce. Moreover, it makes for an impossible task at grassroots. We just cannot referee like this. Most laws are there for good reason. Grassroots players and referees need to know it is a different game on TV."
Even a few he missed I think
Delaying restart by any number of ways
GKs and referees wearing the same kit

The refereeing at the World Cup, with a few notable exceptions such as our game against France, was excellent, culminating in a terrific performance by the Polish official who got the final. They've put Colina in charge, we've had, what, 10+ years with Mike Riley?

Teams do it to Dieng every week because they know his distribution is good. On Monday Sharp went so far as to lift his boot and studs down on the top of his foot as he kicked it - no card. |
Glad I wasn’t seeing things.
This used to be an automatic yellow and now just a FK and I don’t know the rationale for this, maybe because there isn’t one. |  | | |

I agree.
I've found it depressing to come out of that tournament back to our football, where QPR basically waste the whole second half at Preston, and Newcastle try to shthouse an entire game away at Arsenal, and it's still just the standard guess of 1/2 minutes first half, and 4/5 for the second. Time wasting died away pretty quickly in the World Cup when teams realised they'd end up defending whatever they were defending for 15 minutes extra time.
As others have said, it's like our attitude to VAR. UK football authorities think they know better than the rest of the world, We'll do it differently, and it'll work a lot better because we're so good at it and know more about football than everybody else. Result - farce. |
The adding on injury time is an odd one - if it was done successfully in the World Cup then why not just continue that in the professional leagues? Or is it just stupid English pride, "Oh hmmm yes, we probably should have adapted that before, but it's mid season and we couldn't possibly do that now."
Anyone know if other European leagues have adopted it since? |  |

Funnily enough the Spanish ref who made an absolute dogs dinner of the Argentina v Netherlands match, is retiring at the end of the season. | |

Always used to like Collina when he was a ref in Italy - if a player complained he just used to stare at them! |  |

Watching Gillingham v Leicester and why aren’t foul throws penalised anymore? some of the Leicester throws wouldn’t look a miss in division 4 of any local Sunday league. |  |
