#NCEL NEWS There have been a number of changes to the Laws of the Game that will come into effect from 1st July, 2026. Here's a list of the ones that will affect matches in the @MacronWakefield NCEL from next season. ncefl.org.uk/news/league/20…
Change the law then
Wrong again with your assumption. The accurate interpretation of law is important. This action was reckless (Yellow card) not a red. It is NOT serious foul play!
@LucaMarelli72 @22jctraveler If in my opinion an incorrect decision has been made I will call it out. Nothing to do with conspiracy theories. Based on my technical knowledge and 53 years involved in officiating.
You missed the offside even in this generat d photograph
Fifa has published a statement about the VAR process for the passage of play that led to Switzerland's penalty.
Important that the touch of the ball and the position of the offside player is judged exactly at the same time. Millie seconds can and will distort the decision
#Switzerland goal is a great example of why FIFA should lean into the new 3D offside graphics for onside decisions too. When margins are very tight, showing fans exactly why a goal stands increases transparency, trust, & the overall match experience. #offside #WorldCup
Pencil sharpener
I found this while sorting through some old belongings, and it instantly caught my attention. The design looks interesting, but I have no idea what it is or what it was originally used for. I've shown it to several people, and everyone seems to have a different answer. Some
In my opinion ‘yes’
No conspiracy theory in my quotes which you have incorrectly interpreted. I have stated that in my opinion the player is ‘offside’ FIFA have said he is offside.I disagree with their conclusion what ch is my right.
@HACKETTREF Conspiracy theories from a former referee of your caliber? No, please...
Do you believe that statement?
Fifa has published a statement about the VAR process for the passage of play that led to Switzerland's penalty.
Let oks like a bottle opener
Jan I think that we are both sure that this goal should have been ruled out for offside. Technology fail
Yes offside
Some fans are puzzled by this 👇 Switzerland's Remo Freuler ran on to a header and was fouled by Qatar keeper Mahmud Abunada, resulting in a penalty, which Breel Embolo scored 🎯 But was that an offside in the build-up? Or is it just a trick of the angle?
Agree 100%
What a pity that Michael has sustained an injury. Let’s hope he can recover quickly
🚨 Michael Oliver se lesionó, por lo cual Francois Letexier 🇫🇷 será el árbitro del Costa de Marfil vs Ecuador 🇪🇨
Which game were you watching?????
@HACKETTREF It was a deliberate attempt to hit someone in the face. Nothing “reckless” about it. It was foul play. And it was serious.
Surprised that USA is not top of the list!!!!
@Master206Saffer @RealPaulH @HACKETTREF With some justification
They said Serious Foul Play Serious foul play A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from (contd
@HACKETTREF There is no reference in Law as to whether the hand is clenched into a fist. It’s purely down to whether the force is negligible or not. Now determining such a relatively subjective matter is difficult in low level incidents - whereas full on slaps or punches are easier
Serious foul play A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behin….etc
@HACKETTREF No clenched fist? Where does it say thay in the laws of the game Keith?
Pity that you have not attended referee coaching classes. If you had you would understand that a clenched fist and backward movement of the elbow signals Serious Foul Play
@HACKETTREF No clenched fist? Where does it say thay in the laws of the game Keith?
