Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

[ToffeeScot]

It lists plenty of specific duties and contains the nebulous “assists the referee at all times”. If that were practicable the fourth official would be regularly intervening in the referee’s decisions. The fact that he does not shows that it is not the FA’s intent for that to happen.
I appreciate your point, it doesn’t say he can’t but it also doesn’t say that he should.

The latter end of the document suggests that they can in terms of possible yellow and red card offences if they have a better view than any other official. We can't hear them speaking to each other so it may well be that the referee asked for his advice or input.

Yes, that is possible.

I hate how every big game on Sky requires you to endure Peter Drury’s commentary.

 

[Obes]

Arsenal wide open at the back there. Great play by Savinho and deadly from the cyborg.

 

[Victus]

Cmon arsenal, Into these cheating scum

Them cheating stopped the rs winning lots of leagues, for me I'm glad City are who they are gets under their skin massively.

There's never been a player like Haaland, at this age. The guy is amazing.

 

[Tommy Chong]

And just like that, the machine scores again...

 

[Huyton Layne]

That finish was filth. Body shaped like he's going across the keeper, knowing full well he can see so much near post. I try to teach my kids that. Not everything has to be a "shot" just put the ball in the gaps.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

100 goals in 105 games

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]
