JUST IN: Former referee Chris Foy has stated that disqualification is necessary after reviewing League One, League Two, and Championship decisions.

Chris Foy, a former Premier League referee, analyzes the Sky Bet EFL’s judgments throughout the weekend, including Norwich City’s. 1-1 West Bromwich Albion, Derby County Grimsby Town 2-1, Carlisle United 2-1, Sheffield Wednesday 2-1, and Notts County 2-0 The Morecambe

Former Premier League referee Chris Foy discusses a number of crucial match calls from this weekend’s Sky Bet Championship, League One, and League Two games in this episode of Behind the Whistle.

Behind the Whistle seeks to help EFL club supporters understand how the rules of the game are applied by providing them with an awareness of the factors that go into decision-making and by clarifying some calls.

As part of a regular feature on Sky Sports following the conclusion of a matchday, Foy runs you through some refereeing matters in the EFL…

“It was a fast-paced game, and this was the first of two offside decisions in a couple of minutes, but the assistant referee misreads this one and gets it wrong,” says Foy.

With the aid of replays, we can observe that the Derby County player who scores the goal looks to be behind the ball and onside as the ball is crossed into the box. “The goal should have been awarded because the Derby goalscorer was not in an offside position, but calls like this can be challenging to judge in a phase of play that develops so quickly.”

Incident: Line of view, goal scored, potential offside (Sheffield Wednesday)

Decision: Sheffield Wednesday goal disallowed

The officials must decide whether Sheffield Wednesday’s number eleven, who is in an offside position, makes an obvious move that affects the goalkeeper’s ability to make a save. Foy says: “This is an interesting one.

“No. 11 runs across the middle of the goal, obviously across the ball’s path, and reasonably close to the goalie when the first shot is taken. This has an impact on the ‘keeper’s ability to make a save.

Event – Potential punishment, foul play (Carlisle United)

Ruling – No punishment, simulation (Carlisle United)

Foy says: “The referee has made an excellent decision in recognizing a simulated act by Carlisle United’s No. 11.”

While the goalie from Grimsby Town runs the risk of committing to the challenge at first, he withdraws his legs just in time and avoids making contact with his opponent.

The Carlisle forward expects the possible contact and falls down, but the replay indicates that he is descending before any possible contact might occur. The referee, in a rapidly evolving phase of play, performs well to position himself so he can see this; he accurately displays a yellow card and gives a defensive free-kick.
