Maybe you should've spoken to the player via the Captain after the second outburst. Quite right to caution but there comes a time when the talking has to stop and sanctions come into play regardless of what type of game it is. Cup final or end of season nothing to play for tyoe game.

As a level 4 referee I was observed 9 times during the last marking season and in the main you do get some good honest feedback. I personally like it when fellow referees from my pool and RA come and watch as you always get a few pointers to assist you along the way. Best of luck to all of you...

You should've received the correct cards today on another email from Chris Wildey?

I always advise my assistants to give yourself a couple of seconds and wait and see. It's a good trait to start following the ball all the way down to the goal line just in case tee keeper lets the ball get away from him. Learn and move onto the next game.

It's a learning curve each season and as a first season level 4. Each of my 6 assessments so far have had a different development point. Small steps make a big difference.

I can imagine mate.

Stepped approach has to be used to diffuse this situation. Use the captains to either calm the dissenting player or warn them both that anymore from any of the players will be cautioned. It's not the referees fault that the player has lost his composure. Follow through with the cautions until...

It's amazing how many players even at supply league level don't realise the ball has to come out of the penalty area at ceremonial free kicks and goal kicks for the ball to be considered in play.

The beauty of being a referee is the camaraderie and knowing that somebody somewhere has done exactly the same thing as yourself. We all develop through little things and help from colleagues. I couldn't have got my level 4 this season without the assistance of some fantastic experienced...

If it was really angry vile dissent then they would be off in a heart beat. And anything else said on their way off then there would be a misconduct report going in aswell.

There comes a time when talking has to stop and action with either a caution or send off is the only option. I would consider a caution every time if dissent was directed at myself or any of the players in a manner that you described. Remember you have a duty of care for next weeks officials.

I have cautioned all season long for the sarcastic slow clap. It wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest that it was a cup final. I would however involve his captain to keep the amount of hassle to a minimum or others will have the same fate

Basic skills not being adhered to. He would've been massacred if assessed Denis.

I was watching one of my very good friends get slaughtered in this match and I tried to calm all issues with the players manager after the game. The lads team mates were aggrieved that they had lost the semi final. The manager was annoyed his team has lost their focus. Darren did well all...

Missing out on promotion is a killer. I have a few colleagues who have missed out on level 4. Keep going and use this season as a learning curve. Don't beat yourself up and remember you must be a good referee to officiate any cup final. Congratulations and good luck next season. Dave
