An attacker comes very close to the goalkeeper, who has caught the ball inside their penalty area. While the goalkeeper is releasing the ball to pass it with their hands, the attacker jumps in front of the goalkeeper to block the pass (without making contact with the opponent). Immediately after the ball is thrown, it rebounds off the attacker’s head and goes into the goal.

What is the correct decision?

@Maidstonesteve No FA money goes to the @RefsAssociation as far as I know so won't be coming our way. We'll see.

Going through the inbox and just seen the FA email saying referee registration is going from £20 to £30 for season 2026/27, the £10 increase being ringfenced for 'grassroots referee development'.

Neymar upset.

[MC @CrewsMat10]

Brazilian football just produced one of the craziest moments ever 😭🇧🇷

The fourth official mistakenly subbed Neymar off, and even after Ney showed the substitution paper to the cameras, they still didn’t allow him back on.
