I had to do 'which hand is the stone in once', whilst getting
the captains to watch an imaginary coin be tossed (eyes up, eyes
down, which hand is the stone in?

I once did a contrib game with a referee who asked us in the
tunnel if we had a coin. I'd forgot mine but offered to go back
for one, he said no don't worry, so I'd assumed he was doing the
what hand is it in trick. So you could imagine mine and the
other assistant's surprise when he asked the away captain to
call head or tails, knowing as we did that he didn't have a
coin. He replied heads, to which the referee pretended to flick
a coin and said "heads it is, your choice of ends". One of the
funniest things I've ever seen. Home captain said "you can't do
that ref", to which he replied "would you have changed end",
reply was no, then "excellent, you get a kick off each so lets
get on with it". Captains after that thought it was hilarious
and the referee had no problems at all in the game.

I never seem to agree with the dross either Neville spouts, but
Phil is spot on with his assessment of the refereeing in the
womens game, imo. Having been involved in it myself a number of
years ago, the major factor for me was a shockingly large number
of the male officials not taking the game serious enough.

How anybody can think that 21 days suspension is a fair and
equitable punishment in these circumstances is absolutely beyond
me. 24/7 365 days a year you give your body and soul to
refereeing, balancing work, family suffers, can't plan to do
anything as you get that last minute call to do a game. Forget
your coin once and that's 3 weeks out son. Shambolic decision.
Everyone on that disciplinary panel should be the real ones
charged with "not acting in the best interests of the game."

Use an elbow in a manner in which it endangers the safety of an
opponent get a 3 week ban. Fail to use a coin to determine
choice of ends get a 3 week ban.
Unfortunately given it was such a high profile game he was never
going to come out unscathed. I take the point made earlier
though - would he have 'forgotten' on a NLN game?
Timely reminder to all of us, check your equipment before you go
out

Dross? Presumably the fact they played for United is purely
coincidental.
Gary Neville is one of the best pundits around and by and large
speaks a lot of sense, although his being taken apart by
Accrington’s chairman was quite funny.
Phil Neville, by and large, is a terrible pundit who can’t
articulate properly.
