Burghfield Penalty

[@LucklusterTV]

For me that's a Pen. Blue #10 was in position before the defender. He was under the ball about to take control. The Green defender then jumps into the blue #10 and knocks him over, preventing him taking control of the ball so that's why I feel, It's a penalty.

LucklusterTV totally agree mate

10 Blue should have been red carded for the Hollywood performance. They barely touched each other.

Dave White, not sure that’s part of the law? A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: charges jumps at kicks or attempts to kick pushes strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt) tackles or challenges trips or attempts to trip If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.

[@davewhite768]

@@fcreading3 and you don't need to teach me the laws of the game.. been a referee for 7 seasons..

[@fcreading3]

Dave White only 7 seasons, I’m sure you learn something every match.

Dave White 7 seasons, that is good, I hope your refereeing is progressing well. This clip is all about helping referees and making them better referees. This was a very good training point and has been used many times on my talks as a guest speaker at many RA meetings. The referee on this particular match has been refereeing for over 40 years, Andy and my self were the equivalent of Level 3 referees and between the three of us we have over 100 years of refereeing experience. Where are you operating as a referee and what level are you, if you don’t mind me asking please.
