Being charitable the ref & liner are in earpiece contact so may have had a conversation as follows - liner:- couldn’t tell whose throw that was ref:- ok I’ll make the decision as someone has to liner:- ok I’ll flag it that way to show solidarity. Or the liner could just think he’s not paid enough to think for himself in case he’s wrong? Thats more or less correct. Without earpieces it used to be everything in the lino,s third of the pitch the ref went with them. in the middle third there was some eye contact or little signal given and in the final third of the pitch the ref made the decision and the lino went with him. I used to say quicker a decision is made there is less moaning from the bench and if in doubt give it to the defence. In an average game you,ll usually get one wrong but never understand why the benches get so upset about it if its near the half way line. |

When the ball goes out of play and the referee's assistant looks to the referee for which team to give the throw in/corner to before raising his flag. Make your own decision! The amount of times the referee could be behind play, or looking through a crowd of players, and the action could be right in front of the assistant but they won't decide which way until the referee confirms, even though they have the best view! So frustrating. Being charitable the ref & liner are in earpiece contact so may have had a conversation as follows - liner:- couldn’t tell whose throw that was ref:- ok I’ll make the decision as someone has to liner:- ok I’ll flag it that way to show solidarity. Or the liner could just think he’s not paid enough to think for himself in case he’s wrong? Understand when the liner can't be sure, but it's when they're right in front of the action and they obviously know. If I know sat at the top of the lower tier which way to give it then they should know, and I don't mean when it's just for County either, in general for both sides. I do think it's a case as you say of the liner not wishing to go against the referee if they think differently. But ultimately, if that's the case, what are they there for? Just annoys me each game but probably something I need to get over! |

Burst tea bags when you only realise after a mouthful of tealeaves. When you are toasting the last few slices of bread, got your Lurpak on the knife and your jam stood by… and only as it pops out of the toaster do you notice the little blue specs of mould Such is my toast addiction I'd scrape them off, no way is it going in the bin. |

What about if you were going to spread some Stilton on?  |

Same question, then: you only notice the mould when you flip the half-toasted bread ready to sprinkle the Stilton on top.* * This may be a trick question that nobody else is getting any amusement from…  |

Just annoys me each game but probably something I need to get over! Actually its harder to give a correct decision when you are on top of the play and its a couple of yards away from you. This goes for refs as well as linesmen and not just for throw ins. If your eyesight is spot on you can spot a handball easier inside the CE than on the pitch very close to the action. |

Everytime I see the words chicken tenders, then it winds me up more than it should.

I miss an uncontended drop ball... i don't want to see players getting 'free kicks' into each other, but sometimes the decision to stop play should result in a drop ball where both teams have the chance to win it back.
