Offsides
FAQ's
Q3: The Law now says that the IDFK for offside can be taken in the player’s own half but how can this be correct?
It is correct because:
- a player CAN NOT be in an offside POSITION in their own half
- a player CAN commit an offside OFFENCE in their own half if they go back into their own half from an offside position

Kevin Friend has been appointed referee for West Ham vs. Manchester City on February 1.
Lets see if pep's talk is going to change anything

I think we can categorise it as some make less mistakes than others although I do think if we all sat down and sat emotions to the side, we could accept some mistakes are natural, that many could make.
Most of us would agree I think that some mistakes are inevitable wherever human beings are required to make decisions. The question is, at what point do patterns become visible that suggests that the wrong decisions are being made as the product of something more than individual error. We all remember the ridiculous statistic of the rags not getting a penalty awarded against them at the swamp for god knows how long. Plainly something was going wrong there, whether it was just the influence of the GPC or something yet more sinister.
For my part, I regard it as inherently unlikely that we would be awarded 5 penalties in 8 games at the beginning of the season and then only 1 in 14 thereafter. When you then actually look at some of the incidents themselves in which we have not got the decisions e.g. the GIFs upthread, you start to question whether that can possibly be the result of one-off errors. And if not, what is the cause?
Something stinks. It stinks more than it has done so at any point since late 2011/early 2012. I'm not sure what is causing the stink, but of the existence of the stink I have no doubt.

Glad you mentioned that, I was absolutely astounded at such a ridiculous mistake for an experienced red, sorry ref to make. We were all astonished by that !!!
I'm more astounded (wait no I'm not) that fans don't know the laws of the game!
Correct decision, nothing to see here

Since 2010/11, we've had 52 penalties awarded for us and 17 against, which is the most for and the least against. 16 more than the rags for and 5 fewer against.Most of us would agree I think that some mistakes are inevitable wherever human beings are required to make decisions.

I guess it's when he gets close enough to make a difference. If he'd run halfway and stopped, he'd not have been interfering.
Well ye, which is why I the ref normally goes to where the linesman indicates but didn't in this case, eliminates any confusion
He got the local TV match.
There are more PL refs than PL matches, so each week 1-2 of them ref a league down.
Whether it's demotion depends on the media narrative at the time.
Ah, so we will have to wait and see if Dean refs next week

Refs rarely get domoted down the refereeing ladder. The last to do so was stuart atwell back in 2012 but he's since been promoted back. Since then others have left or retired but none demoted.
As has been stated, prem refs often ref big championship or l1/l2 games so seeing dean at barnsley v leeds is no great surprise.
