The former Premier League Referee Chris Foy is going through key decisions about the match from the last event in The Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two.
The aim for the whistle is to provide supporters of EFL clubs to inspect the decision -making considerations, as well as clarifying certain calls to understand how the laws of the game are interpreted.
As part of a regular function at Sky Sports, after closing the match, Foy will be here to guide you in some referees at EFL…

Mason Holgate West Brom saw the goal to ban offside from the corner against Norwich
Incident – The goal scored, maybe offside (West Bromwich Albion)
Decision – Objective Disabled, Offside (West Bromwich Albion)
Foy says: “This situation is well read by the referee’s assistant because it correctly identifies that West Bromwich Albion No3 is in the position of Offside because the ball is heading with his teammate and then joins the active game.
“This type of incident may be assessed for the referee’s assistant because the attacker moves back to the edge of the crime, while defending players move in the opposite direction to the goal and create crossing.
“This emphasizes the importance of focus and consciousness, and crossing is happening. As you can see from playing next to an 18 yard box, the NO3 does not get back in time, and therefore the flag is properly increased.”

Has Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor during his Red Mill Championship conflict against Millwall?
Incident – Maybe red card, serious foul play (Sunderland)
Decision – Warning attack (Sunderland)
Foy says: “I think the Sunderland NO18 action is ruthless here and the judges correctly assess the situation by showing only a yellow card.
“After a hard touch, the Sunderland No18 undertakes to solve the solution, followed by contact with Millwall No52, which also attempts to play the ball.
“While the Sunderland No18 touches the ball, the challenge ignores the consequence for its opponents, which should see how it is approaching, and the referee is doing well to identify correctly that the challenge lacks excessive strength and a high degree of danger required for a serious foul.”

Referee originally gave Aaron Morley a yellow card before talking to his team and decided to change his decision to a red card, this right decision
Incident – Possible red card, rejection of target or obvious opportunities for Bolton Wanderers
Decision – Red Card, Denhausting Targets or Obvious Opportunities for Evaluation of Goals (Bolton Wanderers)
Foy says: “This clip is interesting because it emphasizes the importance of communication between officials to ensure that they are aware of all key facts to provide the best chance to achieve the right result.
“When the Blackpool No14 moves directly towards Bolton’s goal, Bolton No16 is cynically downloaded back. The referee gives a free kick and shows a yellow card to stop a promising attack.
“However, the referee did not know that Bolton’s goalkeeper was not in his crime, but on Wednesday he returned to his destination from the corner kick at the other end of the field. After consultation with his team, he cancels the yellow card and shows a direct red card.
“Because the goalkeeper was absent in his goal, the offense at the Blackpool No14 was a rejection of an apparent opportunity for the goal. The correct result is achieved after additional information provided by the referee.”

The defender Shrewsbury seemed to hold players in Birmingham for a long time to pull him into the box but the referee did not make a fine
Incident – Possible punishment, permanent holding (Birmingham City)
Decision – No punishment (Birmingham City)
Foy says: “For me, the NO2 Shrewsbury’s city should be punished and granted the punishment because Captain Birmingham City has a permanent time.
“Playing confirms that the defender Shrewsbury has no eyes on the ball and attracts his opponent to the ground with a permanent and impressive non-football action, which prevents Birmingham players from reaching the ball.

The defender Swindon seemed to arrive at a pace and committed himself to sliding tools, but the referee decided to give the target kick instead
Incident – Possible punishment, foul (Morecambe)
Decision – No punishment (morecambe)
Foy says: “The referee has three different options and chooses for me correctly by giving Swindon Town goal.
“As Muecambe’s No4 enters the box, Swindon No20 inherits the risk by committing a sliding challenge, even if there is contact between two players, the referee recognizes the ball to the left to pull it out, and any contact is in the first place, and the last minute is at the last minute. The last minute is in the first place, and at the last minute it is his foot.
“While a subjective call, I think the referee will choose the best option to give the goal.”
