Will the Burnley game be on iFollow?
at 11:36 17 Jan 2023

Sorry if this is a daft question, but I was wondering if the Burnley cup game will be on iFollow (video) for domestic viewers? The explanation on the iFollow website for 3pm kickoffs not being on iFollow relates to League rules. Obviously the FA Cup is not a league competition, but I don't know if there are similar rules in place in the FA Cup?

What was the position for the Rotherham game? (I was at the game, so I don't know).

(The Morecambe game is available for purchase, but the Burnley game says not yet available, so hard to know if it's gonna be video, audio, or possibly even nothing).

Indirect freekick in the area
at 20:23 4 Oct 2022

There was discussion the other day as to whether an indirect freekick might have been awarded instead of a penalty (Pompey's second penalty) for "dangerous play". Personally I think a penalty wasn't a terrible call on that occasion.

Just now (v Cambridge), on 10 mins 30 secs, their keeper had the ball in his hands in his area for absolutely ages, and it should surely have been an indirect freekick.

Do referees not know the indirect freekick rules, or do they invent their own discretion and take the view that it's too petty to enforce them? Goalkeepers should certainly know these rules. It's pretty basic stuff to know what they are allowed to do with the ball and for how long...
