Fis Hydref 2024, fe wnaeth cefnogwr pêl-droed ymosod ar Mark Bowen ar ôl gêm yng Nghaerdydd. Fe wnaeth Mark ddioddef asennau wedi'u torri.
Yn ôl Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru, mae cam-drin dyfarnwyr 'ar ei waethaf erioed', a 'dyw hi ddim yn 'amgylchedd diogel' i ddyfarnwyr dan 18 ar hyn o bryd.

Always told not to rely on player action but difficult not to at time. Jacqui talks a lot of sense when it comes to officiating.
Refs have understandably become so reliant on player reaction (because many exaggerate any contact or blatantly dive) that they’ve come to expect that there’s no need to act if a player *doesn’t* go down and scream for a penalty/red card.
This is a real issue in the women’s game as there’s generally less cheating.
So perhaps a rethink is required amongst the officials, especially where VAR is available.

The north/south divide
Does it matter where a referee lives? Yes, but not for the reason you might think...
In 2001-02, 30 per cent of Premier League matches that season were overseen by a referee from London and its surrounding counties.
But within a decade, there were no refs from that part of the south east in the Premier League.
In fact, no official from the capital itself has refereed a match in the competition since May 2003.
Ex-Premier League referee Graham Scott (@Refsplaining) explains how it got to this point, why it matters and if anything is being done about it.

This has caused much excitement and seemingly surprise.
Regulation & Discipline update on @Arsenal:
ALT An independent Regulatory Commission has dismissed claims of both wrongful dismissal and excessive punishment for Max Dowman. The Arsenal player was sent off during their EFL Cup game against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday 27 October and will be suspended for three matches. The Regulatory Commission’s written reasons for its decisions will be published in due course.
