With all the big clubs agreed that players are being forced to play too many games, it's cheering to see that with the PL season ending at 6pm on Sunday, Tottenham and Chelsea are flying to Australia to play in an exhibition match in Melbourne on Wednesday, with a 10:45am BST kick-off.
Hopefully scrapping FA cup replays will mean more wealthy clubs are able to play games on the other side of the world, 10 minutes after a long, gruelling domestic season has finished.
I'll try to set the background (as brief as poss) and then ask the question.
Two sepatrate games (of many) watched this season Game 1: Two assistant referees and one referee. Scenario 1 Game 1: Ball goes out of play on side line, assistant looks at referee, referee points, THEN assistant raises flag to indicate throw in . Scenario 2 Game 1: There is an obvious foul directly in front of assitant but no flag, referee blows whistle for a foul and points indicating the direction of play arising from the foul (or of course arm aloft for indirect) THEN assistant raises flag to indicate foul.
Game 2
Two different assistant referees and one different referee. Scenario 1 Game 2: Ball goes out of play on side line, assistant immediately raises flag to indicate throw in, referee points to indicate throw in . Scenario 2 Game 2: There is an obvious foul directly in front of assitant, assitant raises and waves flag to indicate foul play, referee blows whistle for a foul and points indicating the direction of play arising from the foul (or of course arm aloft for indirect).
Clearly there is a difference in what the assitant referees do in Game 1 from Game 2
If we see the refereeing as described in Game 2 and then, the next game the refereeing is as Game 1, we get annoyed and abuse the assistant refs for not flagging and or abuse the ref.
I have tried to understand this disparity in the control an assistant has and when he raises hs flag (aside from offsides and corners) and have been advised by both referees and assitants as follows:
Prior to commencement of game the refereee advises his assistants what he wants them to flag for with respect to foul play and ball in touch.
Some refs say that they want the assitants help (and we get the game 2 indication and the assitant involved in the game) However.... and this is the point and the background In ther games the referee advises the assistants that he SOLELY wants them to look for and flag for offside and conrer/goal kicks and NOTHING ELSE as he will decide!
If this IS the case (and from the refereeing and assistants in the Championship and other divisions can someone please explain straight (as opposed to humour or sarcasm please)
1: Why it changes from game to game- a nonsense surely?! 2: Why the crowd cannot be told which form of officiating we shall be watching over the PA prior to the start of the game?
There is a trend to try and prevent side line abuse and referee abuse but of from omne game to the next you don't know iif the game is being run by one pair of eyes or three pairs of eyes, the crowd IS going to get infuriated when the assistant refuses to raise his flag- solely because the referee has told him before the game NOT TO!
It seems a madness but, now that it has been explained to me that it is the referee who decides (and we know what some of them are like) I would like to know where to correctly direct my frustration and not start singing " Lino Lino you're a (whatever)!" when, in reality it is to the referee!
Yes, there are a lot of sarcastic and humorous replies possible here but, trying to be serious, could someone please answer and explain this disparity in officiating matches.

Can somebody please explain (in English) how these leagues actually work?
They play a full league season then split the leagues into top half lower half then there are 2 clubs left in the middle. The play offs are ultra confusing
In Windsor and its for a great charity. Local gig for some of you next Saturday 25th May, and for a great course. Loads of top djs from west London, and me. Here's the just giving page if you can't make it but want to donate. Every little helps as they say. Hopefully see some of you on the dancefloor. https://www.justgiving.com/page/steve-nash-1704451175063?utm_campaign=lc_frp_sha
I was meant to buy a training top for my daughter at the end of the season (using my bloody QPR cash) but forgot. I've gone online and its all vanished so assume its been taken down for this event.
Is there a big demand for this? If I get there for 10am will I be queuing for half the morning?
And are any discounts actually worth the schlep from St Albans?
Gudrun Ure, or supergran passed yesterday at the age of 98. My children were young at the time so I had a good excuse to watch it. Silly comedy like the goodies. I loved it. God speed Gudrun.
Now we're all relaxed about not having to visit Shrewsbury et al next season, and having watched Phil Foden wearing a Superman cape at Spurs earlier, I thought I'd take a look at the other contenders, even though he would get my vote. Odegaard, great player, but no Rodri? Are you kidding? The first player on the team sheet for a Premier League XI for me , does no-one else see this?
I will be in Barcelona for some project-related work in late July. Any hotel recommendations? May be some bars or places to visit? This will be my first time over there. Also, I was wondering when the Barcelona vs. Manchester City match would be. If the schedule is in Camp Nou, I will try to attend.
