Breaking the Rules
When Saturday Comes
|May 2017
From penalties to substitutions and sin-bins, changes are afoot across all levels of the game. However, they will not be welcomed by all referees.
My friend Pete is a bus driver who referees on Sunday mornings – which is one of the reasons he doesn’t like changes to the Laws of the Game. Pete reads all the Law briefings from the County FA and joins in the discussions at our local Referees’ Association, but the players and managers in his games don’t. They mostly rely on hazily retained views from TV and radio pundits. If Robbie Savage squeals “For me that’s never handball!” then grassroots referees will feel the backlash if their interpretations differ from his.

The last Sunday in March was a windy day in Chingford, Essex. It was a Sunday gust that caught out Korona Redbridge in the first minute, as they concede a goal from a corner. Despite drawing level they lost their match in the Essex Sunday Corinthian League Division One to a goal scored from a free-kick. To some onlookers, biased as they may be, this had appeared offside.
