I’m qualified in slagging refs off if that helps?

There is at least one other. Usually gets offside calls correct.

When challenging an opponent, getting the ball first does not necessarily mean it is not a foul
Am I correct in thinking that the player challenging has to knock the ball so it is not in playing distance!
As an example, if he/she just gets a toe on the ball, but it only rolls a foot or so before they clatter into their opponent, it should be deemed a foul

I didn't say I was a good ref ;)

I only ref junior games, where its a lot easier to ref games once you've told the parents to shut the fuck up.

From my interpretation of the rules, getting the ball first does not mean its not a foul, all sorts of variables in this instance of course.

No refs are/were any good, apart from Pierluigi Collina and Clive Thomas
It just annoys the life out of me when commentators and pundits say "he got the ball first"

Simple rule is, any decision made is wrong.
