Luton Town VS Sheffield United
Incident: Goal scored, possible offsidas (Sheffield United)
Decision: Goal, offsid (Sheffield United)
Foy says: “This clip emphasizes the excellent consciousness and communication of the judge’s team in determining that there is no offset and that the goal of Sheffield United should withstand.
“Since the ball is hooked toward the goal from the edge of the box, the goalkeeper, Sheffield United No 15, is in the junction. The path, as a touch/game would mean that it is not 15 in the offside position.
This is a great teamwork between judges and assistants. The assistant would have a view of the possible position in the offside, while the judge would have a view of a possible touch with the head of Sheffield United NO 39.
“It is a good idea to determine that no 39 gets a touch, especially in such a crowded frame. The goal is properly awarded because the goalkeeper played on the side of Luton Town’s no 6.”
Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Coventry
Incident: Possible red card for denial of goals (dogso)
Decision: No red card
Foy says: “In the early stages of this game, the referee has a great decision to make whether one of the central Beka Coventry City will commit offense that, if punished, would deny the obvious opportunity to score goals (Dogso).
“First, the judge’s pace and positioning here allow him to have the best view of the game and he is able to determine that none of the challenges on Sheffield’s hit on Wednesday fulfills the foul threshold, while there were contacts, in both cases, in both cases The case was therefore not permanent or impressive.
Reading 2-1 Rotherham
Incident: Reacted naked, possible offze (reading)
Decision: Assigned a goal (reading)
Foy says: “Unfortunately, for Rotherham United, he was missed in the attack in the settlement.
“From the reprise we can see that at the place where the first shot is, Readin’s no 19 in the offside position. The ball then bounces off the post and goes to no 19 who shoots in goal – so he has gained an advantage and should be punished Because of the offsid.
“The goal was to be disabled and an indirect free kick assigned to Rotherham.”
Cheltenham Town 3-2 Barrow
Incident: Possible punishment, misdemeanor (the city of Cheltenham)
Decision: No punishment, offense (City of Cheltenham)
Foy says: “Positioning the referees here allows you to correctly determine that the Barrow players’ actions have not fulfilled the threshold due to the offense.
“Although Barrow defender puts his hand on the back of Cheltenham player, there is no clear push, and the contact is not enough for the attacker to fall the way he does.
“If more forces were used, it would have been more influential and the judge would have had a great decision to make, but in this case, he allowed the game to continue the game.”
Port Vales 1-0 District Notts
Incident: Possible punishment, handball (port Vale)
Decision: No Penalties (Port Vale)
Foy says: “The judge is good here to move with the play and enter a position in which it is able to clearly determine that it is not handball.
“Although the ball hits the hand of the Notts County Defender, the hand is in a justified position with regard to the veterans’ actions, attracted and close to the body.
“The judge correctly recognizes and assigns a corner.
