Pre-Play-off Discussion on Reffing; Call for Refs to Meet

How many 30 second penalties have been awarded across the whole league this season? How many should have been awarded? Nothing in particular against John's reffing from yesterday, he stepped up and followed the same patterns reffing has taken all season, at European tournaments and in London.

To be fair, there were a few events where I probably should have stepped in, but as you say I pretty much followed the example I've seen from other refs.

I've been to a large number of league games, and I've only seen one 30 second penalty, I think Jono gave it to Gormley, I can't remember what game it was, or what context. Then again I've hardly seen any incidents, apart from in a handful of games where any intervention might have been needed.
