    Red Card?

    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...

    Ridiculous

    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...

    Sunshine Coast Player Dies

    A very sombre day for rugby league, with the death of James Ackerman - seriously injured whilst playing in a Queensland Cup game on the weekend. To make this incident even more tragic, a friend of mine who referees but was at the game in a non-official capacity believed the tackle which fatally...

    Contact with referee

    Player touches the referee at 54 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql4s5MmO2oQ Anything in it? A word? a sin bin? A suspension?

    Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am!

    One of the best referee falcons of all time. Straight to the snoz - ouch! http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/super-rugby/super-rugby-2015-crusaders-v-chiefs-referee-nick-briants-hilarious-reaction-to-falcon/story-e6frf4qu-1227308453733 For those Northern Hemisphere folk who can't access Fox...

    Not a send off... apparently

    10 referees, 1 field!

    2 referees, 4 touch judges, 2 in-goal judges, 2 video referees... and it's actually a serious consideration for being used in the NRL season. WTF! http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/st-george-illawarra-dragons/charity-shield-clash-sees-nrl-test-use-of-10-match-officials-20150205-137215.html

    Throw boot at official = YC

    Apparently throwing your footy boot at the linesman is only a YC in football. What a crazy game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqdjbn8jUhk

    Football - Red Card For Diving!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2oJtMSzM-0 Asian Cup quarter final - Iran v Iraq. Player gets a small tap and feigns injury so the referee gives him a yellow card. The referee forgot he had already gave the same player a YC earlier, and once alerted by players, sends him for an early shower...

    Who refs the final?

    Who do you think will end up holding the whistle for the biggest game of next year? List your top 3! For me it's, 1. Joubert - speaks for itself really. He's been the best for quite some time. 2. Walsh - the Northern Hemisphere might hate him but he knows how to let the game flow. 3. Owens -...

    Advance Australia Fair

    Quite the performance before the Pumas v Wallabies game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHZ17anodtY I would have thought being able to speak English would have been a mandatory requirement for singing the Australian national anthem!

    South Africa v NZ

    A South African player is offside at the penalty kick which won South Africa the game... 21.4 h. Behind the ball. All the kicker's team at a penalty or free kick must be behind the ball until it has been kicked, except the placer for a place kick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm7wgsRT_O4...

    Don't touch the referee

    I'm assuming we usually take a strong stance on any contact with us, and it would nearly always be a RC. In the instance below though, I'm curious to know what you all would have done. The 11 taps my arm to show me that he believed the ball was deliberately knocked out by the tackler. I just...

    Helppppp

    Doing an assignment (I study Education) and I'm creating a Commonwealth Games unit. Anywho, all I need to know is how much money a London couple would have needed to go to the Glasgow Comm Games for about a week, including flights, accommodation, events, food, all that jazz! Just a ball park...
