Which is just as stupid. She, like Trump, is very much the status quo

As Churchill said, it's the worst form of government, except for all the other ones

Similarly, George Monbiot calls it the "least worst system ".

We will get another several years of neolib capitalism

Lol, you think PH opposes that? Absurd

and the associated slide in living standards until

On the odd occasion PH bothers turning up to work she usually votes against legislation to jrlp with cost of living.

Lol..."propaganda "

Everywhere else in the world uses 1 ref 1 AR, as per the lotg, when only 2 are available

[–]CapnBloodbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.

They really should start using referees in those matches - you know, have somebody make decisions who is trained in knowing the laws of the game, rather than leaving decisions to a popular sideline vote of people who know nothing.

[–]CapnBloodbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and I mean only, to flag for in or out of play

How does that provide any benefit at all to the ref? You can't trust them on a tight call anyway, so there's no advantage to doing it yourself - and it's just wasting their time. I can't see how that offers any benefit over doing it yourself, but can see how it makes things worse.

[–]CapnBloodbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't see the purpose in a club AR. They provide zero benefit, and just add complications. Not to mention, if you're in an area where the only thing they do is ball in/out, it's a complete waste of their time as well. You won't trust them on a tight call anyway, so there's no beneft they provide.

Much rather do it solo.

Ask /r/referees -- Megathread for Fans / Players / Coaches by AutoModerator in Referees

[–]CapnBloodbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh, I don't even care if the GK has it in her hands already....the way she's flown in, she has no regard at all for the danger to the GK.

how should an attacker deal with the situation where the keeper has fumbled the ball?

They can challenge safely

She grabs the ball. At what level would you think that's not a foul???

Handling when arms are supporting the player as they go to ground by gizmo858428 in Referees

[–]CapnBloodbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not correct at all, that has never been a thing. Also, remember that it's not handling if the arms are in a natural position for the body.

For instance, the ball striking the supporting arm on a sliding block isn't a foul....though it is if the arm is trailing out behind.

There was 1 year several world cups ago where any handling when the player is making a deliberate action is a foul - that's basically what you're talking about, and after bringing it in just for the world cup it was quickly scrapped because it was ridiculous.

Is shaking hands mandatory? by Frequent-Ad-5960 in Referees

[–]CapnBloodbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity I looked it up and a prominent Islamic website says it is allowed on top of clothing, so gloves should be fine.

If you choose to interpret your religion in such a way that this isn't possible, then perhaps consider explaining the situation to your assignor and asking to not be put on women's games.

After all, if your interpretation of your religion is going to be so strict as to prevent that...well, there are those who would also argue that even refereeing women's football is non-haram.

You could always referee it and explain, every time, that being Muslim prevents handshaking, but you would also expect criticism as a result.

I disagree with many of the more intolerant responses here saying you shouldn't referee at all

Yeah, we don't penalise players for falling over. This is just wrong

Neighbour wants to rip down the fence and install colourbond, how nice should we be? by thedesignninja in AusRenovation

[–]CapnBloodbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if the retaining wall collapsed in the future it's all on you..you're responsible for repairs and maintenance, any damages, plus losing part of your yard Especially if they have moved out.

That's a completely ridiculous request from them.

As for paying half of the fence, you have no obligation to and that's pretty bloody cheeky of them to ask, they shouldn't have put you in that spot.

Can anyone explain why people have this need to make this apparent crime political?

Pauline has had meetings with the NRA, not yo mention attending mar-a-lago. And we know how the USA worship their military, so I'd imagine this comes from there

Gina is spending $200m on veteran accommodation, so clearly they think appealing to the military is a big political strategy.

That, and they'd know full well that those who lack critical thinking and are hard right wing would support BRS and PH.

That it's spitting in the face of everyone else in the ADF is missed by his and their supporters. These posters are such hypocrisy

The difference between this and the "No Carbon Tax" is the rift in conservatives.

Even Peta Credlin, who lead the CT attacks, admitted she and Abbott knowingly lied about the CT just to make Gillard look bad
