Yeah in terms of set pieces I know exactly what you mean about compromising a good view of box incidents for getting the offside call and like you say it goes for most incidents on the pitch. I also like the idea of looking for marking and making guide line points. Some very useful information...

That’s definitely what I’ve started to do now. I let them know at the coin toss and say I’m gonna be exactly the same for both teams and just play to the whistle. Because it’s surprising to me that when they know the referee is calling the offside with no assistants, they still stop dead still...

That’s a line I’ll be using in future, like that one 👍🏻

Yeah I do always include it in my pre match talk with the captains and just say I will try my best but won’t be right all the time. The managers moan as they often do have a better view but I just try and explain I don’t have the side line view.

Yeah thanks that was one of my thoughts. Do I let tight decisions go or call the tight decisions and pull them back for offside. Thanks fo advice.

Hi all, I've tried to see if there has been a thread about this before and I can't find one or I've just missed it. I have refereed in Stafford for about 5 years and have recently moved to Manchester and carried on refereeing up here. I referee across 4 leagues throughout the week and all...

Ah ok thank you for clearing that up. But on a side note if you have to lift them up would it matter as you wouldn't be able to see it during a game. It's not as if it's clearly noticeable like a top. I thought that when I first saw it and was quite surprised but looks like a common practice ???

Hi all, This may seem a stupid question to ask and its probably obvious but I'm confused and the answer is probably simple. But I follow Wolves fc Snapchat (sad I know) and on they just film snippets of what's happening in the tunnel, such as captains meeting up, the players during warm up and...

Yeah was getting a bit arrogant and angry but to himself but not really enough to warrant a yellow IMO but another referee might of done. Yeah like you said they didn't cross the line, but it was just consistent petty behaviour that was annoying and was stupid. Thanks

Well the exchange of words was near enough in the middle of the pitch and that's where I spoke to them, so I think the parent just went for a random claim to see what she could get out of it.

Hi all, Had an U12 match on Sunday, nothing really major in the match (12-0) victory to the blues against red. Until the 55th minute out of 70. Red attacker and blue defender start to exchange a few petty words such as, "you should go to school" (whatever kind of insult that is) and "sorry...

Just got me wondering after hearing about drinks breaks in Premier League when it hits 30 Celsius, if in the rare case it ever goes 30+ again in Britain during a match you are refereeing would you ever stop the match for a drinks break??? Just wondering what peoples opinions are.

Yeah fair enough good point I see what you mean now just rewatched it and yeah didn't go down on first contact good point

After bbc just reviewed our penalty we won I think I might just actually of been a penalty it a bit of a soft but possibly still be a peno

Exactly i don't understand how it the same kind of incident don't they learn from each others mistakes but I suppose everyone makes mistakes but to have two similar things happen in a semi final shouldn't be occurring
