Replying to @CorkReferee
The following, I am only writing as I am no longer refereeing. I would like to take this opportunity to ask the head referee inspector for the Cork region (lead observer) to resign from his position.

If the referee has stopped play, it must be restarted: ➡️ with a direct free kick from the position of the interference ➡️ with an indirect free kick from the position of the ball when play was stopped if there was no interference

If an injured player re-enters the field without permission, the #referee must: ➡️ stop play (not immediately if the player does not interfere with play or a match official or if the advantage can be applied) ➡️ caution (yellow card) the player for re-entering without permission In addition, the player is usually required to leave the field of play and remain off until the remaining time has been completed and permission to return has been given.

Except certain circumstances, where an injury results in play being stopped or the restart of play being delayed, the injured player must leave the field of play and may only re-enter: ✅ one minute after play has restarted (running clock) ✅ with the referee’s permission (the signal can be given during play) The re-entry is: ➡️ from the touchline – if the ball is in play ➡️ from any boundary line (touchline or goal line) – if the ball is out of play Find out more: ➡️ bit.ly/Referee_Powers ➡️ bit.ly/Injuries_Treatment

This lad is a specialist in ref moaning. From moaning about Lino’s eating sandwiches, to anything he can think off to deflect from his own faults. This lad is an embarrassment to football. 🤷‍♂️ Defo trying to take @neil_warman1 ref moaning title 🤦‍♂️

It’s not solely down to society. The referees department are in charge of running courses and recruiting referees. People lambasting referees online certainly does not help!!

Hopefully this will not impact on games being played, but I fear it will happen.

It is often misunderstood that any foul or handball offence committed by a goalkeeper outside their penalty area is punished with a card. According to the Laws of the Game, the goalkeeper: ➡️ cannot handle the ball once they leave their penalty area ➡️ is subject to the same disciplinary sanction as an outfield player if they commit a cautionable (yellow card) or sending-off offence (red card)
