There’s hope for us all yet

Up there with Rufus brevett getting yellow for deliberate hand ball, when he caught it over his head on touchline for what would have been our throw in

Ahhh the dreaded Jim Parker. Possibly the worst referee ever.

Second yellow card. He actually got sent off for that by the infamous Jim Parker.

The notorious Jim Parker. I remember the tone of my dad’s voice every time we got him as our ref.

My lack of attention to detail strikes again

not really if it was a quick free kick and the opposition wasn’t trying to stop him taking or wasn’t looking to gain an advantage,it’s the same as a goal kick if an attacker is still making his way out of the area and it’s played he can then go for the ball

Not so. This is covered in the FA refs course. If an attacking player is in the box when to goal kick is taken, it's a re-take.

The law does however state that attackers can enter the box as soon as the ball has been struck and can "clearly be seen to have moved." The instructor on my course said about half a rotation is ebnough for it to be "clear."

But also this applys in the same course

Morecambe had a total wage bill in League One last season of £4m. I’d guess that was materially more than us, although in the higher league.

I wonder how they manage that on their gates? I would imagine that it surely breaches FFP on their turnover?

[Chris Black come back]

Their revenue was way in excess of wages, at £5.3m. Their owner also chucked in about £1.5m to balance everything up.

Yes they can be in there because they didn't have time to leave which allows for quick goal kicks to be taken but if they then touch the ball it's a re-take.

No issues with the quick free kick there, TFE. I was talking specifically about goal kicks.

God that is really bad by Hiwula, zero thought and technique into how he was gonna slot that ball home.

It was that bad , it wrong footed all the defenders and nearly went in.

Morecambe released almost their entire squad after last season then signed a lot of kids on loan and journeymen.

I would guess they have a lower wage budget than us this year. It’s amazing how they are where they are… for now at least.

And how they can somehow beat a team 5-0 away from home.

Glad you clarified that as I was sure Rufus got sent off
