Fourth officials
I'm convinced they were invented so coaches/managers can use them to crack up at, following poor decisions made from the middle. Its amazing that they all seem to do it. HE"S THE FOURTH OFFICIAL FFS - HE didnt make the decision!

Re: Fourth officials
hmm reminds me of the Omani coach although, if the referee were to get injured, the 4th official does take over in the middle.

Re: Fourth officials
Who operates the substitution/lost time board in that scenario?
You cannot assault a referee. He stands between the game and chaos.

Re: Fourth officials
the referee can if they are not seriously injured or ill, otherwise there should be another official in the stands on standby. As you may have seen in the W-League (Lady Reds vs Perth) a few weeks ago.

Isn't that the fifth official who is meant to take over on the pitch?Red-4-Life wrote:hmm reminds me of the Omani coach

Re: Fourth officials
When there is one the fifth official is supposed to be a reserve linesman.Kitchimo wrote:Isn't that the fifth official who is meant to take over on the pitch?Red-4-Life wrote:hmm reminds me of the Omani coach

Re: Fourth officials
spot on mate. the 5th official is not in every domestic game around the world and i dont even think in all internationals. The 4th official will generally become the referee and then if an AR is injured in some freak accident a 5th official or reserve AR is introduced...but how often does that happen? never
