    Observer attire

    It’s still cold so just make sure you wear warm clothes. It’s not a fashion show, with a big coat nobody will see what you have on under it.

    End of season review

    Do you go to Stockport RA?

    Notts County

    But if you have time to get there and ask questions it’s not “quick”. Quick is foul, whistle, kick. Once you’ve stood at the free kick point you need to manage it. I have no issues with quick free kicks but I’m not comfortable with sneaky ones.

    Relaxing After a Sunday

    Did a rare (for me) Sunday game this morning to help out the new appointments secretary. No cards, no sin bins and really enjoyed it. To answer OP question though, just go to the pub!

    The whistle is needed to restart play for

    It seems really messy to me if you whistle for a dropped ball restart. The ball’s in play when it touches the ground so at what point would you blow? No whistle required for me.

    Completed first few Games, Looking for advice

    I mostly work on my own these days and my pre match talk to the captains is simply introduce myself, we’re not going to fall out over offsides and heads or tails.

    Sunday Cup

    I gave up Sundays as my knees can’t take both days. If I get Sunday Cup games I close the Saturday. However, Sunday had to be the one to go; it’s not great.

    Sunday Cup

    Just back from refereeing my first Sunday game of the season, I usually just do Saturdays. I knew it was going to be one sided after looking up both teams on Full Time but I approached it with an open mind. The "stronger" team won 10-2 after being 8-0 up at half time but their behaviour...

    Klopp escapes ban

    Absolutely disgraceful outcome. It's given managers and coaches a free hand to do this to us at grass roots this weekend. A ban would have sent out a message but a fine doesn't.

    Club Marks

    I am setting myself up for a fall here so here are my club marks for season 2019 /20 on one league just leading up to the COVID lockdown. There are 2 per game; home/away. 94/85 100/75 72/11 85/100 75/90 95/80 75/80 Not bad with an average of just under 80 but the mark of 11 shows why you...

    Foul throw

    A throw in is just a means to getting the ball back in play. Sometimes they don’t look nice but it doesn’t always mean they’re not legal. At an attacking throw in near the penalty area I‘m much more interested in watching what 15 or 16 players are doing rather than the thrower’s action so I’ll...

    Keeper losing his mind

    Once you got there and began managing it there's no way it can be quick. I feel you've contributed to the afters on this occasion. Quaverref and JamesL have explained it perfectly.

    referee error

    Sent a player off a couple of weeks ago for this very thing. 20th minute, ball ricocheted off a few players and out for a throw in on the halfway line and I had to make a call. I shouted red ball before CAR had a chance to flag but blue player shouted “you cheating t**t””. Took his name and red...

    New Nike kit 2022

    I remember being assessed (not observed) as an assistant and my youngest son on the other line was pulled up for his grey topped socks. I told the observer that unless he was going to buy him new ones he’d better let it go because I wasn’t buying any more! To be fair, he was (and still is) a...

    Man Utd Vs Liverpool

    Don’t agree here. It was United’s restart and as much as I dislike Fernandes, he was moving towards the restart Point. Salah was actually stopping him. I agree with @bester, the referee was far too slow to intervene.
