When the ref and a goalkeeper show up with basically the same kit ( as happened yesterday and happens quite often) is one supposed to change, and if so who? I was at a game in Germany (4th tier) yesterday, and the keeper did go up for a corner at the end, and was dressed exactly like the ref . Two things I noticed, - one trivial, one less so. The linesmen wore no studs. They were running up and down grass, no muddier than the pitch. There was a bit of a ‘handbags’ mass brawl just before half-time. Lots of players holding each other at arms’ length and being over-enthusiastic vigilantes after a bit of argy-bargy. I wondered how long the ref would take to sort it out. Answer: not long. Ref simply called for the two captains, rugby-style, - and booked them both for not controlling their players. ( I guess teams in this league do not appoint their Morsy as captain!)
