What's posted before is spot-on - they both adjust as the ball is in-flight When the ball has past the post, the back TJ calls "now" and they each make their own decision. From grass roots, all the way up, they are told the importance of making their own decision and not just copying the other...

Don't worry bud, I'm sure you've won the World Cup morally, just like the Ashes

This is the only website on the internet where such a ridiculous question could actually get a serious discussion.

Ahh but what if it's a really windy day and the ball hits a swaying branch that won't be in the same position for the other team later in the half 🤔🤔

Hahahaha... No way. This isn't a case of reading the laws and regulations to find out if there's a loophole. The game is not continuing with him holding the flag.

I'd also like a list of quaternary and quinary signals. Stuff the players, I want all eyes on us referees...

In related news, 2 percent of football referees are deaf.

I'm slightly concerned with how many of you think the first angle wasn't enough evidence to say he was in touch... Less weight needs to be put on the live decision in these scenarios. The technology should not be hampered by a live decision that, in something this tight, is more akin to a...

I can see the fors and againsts for giving and not giving the card, but a sign that WB wasn't thinking the most clearly in the situation is that he is miced up and proceeds to repeatedly swear by saying the actual words. Not doing that is a thing learned at a low-level when the game is being...

Tahs v Stormers Player slips causing him to take out the man in the air. Referee says he cannot take the slip into account, and as he was not in a position to catch the ball at point of contact, he has to wear the full responsibility for the dangerous landing, thus RC. Should the slip be taken...

I cannot fathom how the AFL still has no provision to send off a player in the top league. Just yesterday there was a huge brawl after the quarter time siren with plenty of punches thrown (went on for 90 seconds) and the umpires have no options regarding temporary suspension or sending off. I'd...

Everyone enjoy this. Just happened in the EPL http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/football/epl/vardys-sensational-send-off!516446 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGqQ8OWceio
