@WycombeDJ @HarryWare07 That’s fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Sad to say, it isn’t going away, Not good if you’re a graphic designer.

@PaulineCollings DM me all the details and I’ll send you some options 👍

Handball? Thoughts. #Bayern Vs #PSG

@talkSPORT Has to be 2. No team accumulating 106 points in a season should be having to enter playoffs.

@ccfc_07 @ByronSafc The keeper is a professional too, so should know better that to leave the trailing arm. Yes, initially it’s a dive, but he’s made contact. If you make any contact in that scenario you run the risk of giving away a penalty.

@wwfcofficial VAR would have ruled that one out, looked about 3 yards offside 😂. Great finish though.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies Great to hear, and once again, I wish your players a speedy recovery. Good luck for the rest of the season 👍⚽️

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies I mean this with the utmost respect, but the level of referee will generally be relevant to the level of football. There are some VERY good grassroots referees, but some are still learning. And, we all have bad days at the office, I’ve had my fair share.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies I wish the players a speedy recovery. All you can do is voice your concerns to the league. Sounds like a horrid game. I’ve witnessed a few! Just try and keep your faith in referees, I promise you we all have good intentions.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies Not sure I agree there. I officiate women’s football at regional level, and am an AR on the National League. I referee those games no differently to a men’s game. So long as the laws are applied correctly, decisions and opinions are merely subjective.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies That’s a sad state of affairs. Did you make the referee aware of the players concerns at half time?

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@silverback41 @LyddTownLadies I hear where you are coming from, ultimately a Referees main concern should always be player safety. But, there are games where even a barrage of cards and sending offs still do not stop some players behaving in a poor manner. A red card won’t stop an idiot.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@refsupportuk That would be carnage. It won’t be an “unsuccessful challenge” its be a “yeah but, no but, are you joking ref”. Does nothing other than invite controversy. Leave the game alone!

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@talkSPORT Using “breaks” in play to have quick tactical talks has always been the case. Should be no different in the women’s game. If it changes, it has to be across all football.

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

#LiverpoolFC Vs #ManchesterCity What an ending! Whilst the correct law was applied, just give the goal and avoid a 3 match ban. Surely that’s what everyone wanted?

[Mark Bowring @superbowring]

@wwfcofficial Performance of the season. And, dare I say, the best referee I’ve seen for a very long time.
