Explain to them Why you want it (or to improve your performance for when you next officiate for them) and I don’t see that it will be any more issue, depends on that status of club - ie doubtful an epl academy would - if you don’t ask you don’t get.

Not posted for a while - so Hopefully posted in the right area. recently middled an EFL academy game (u13’s), recorded with Veo. I pride myself on giving stonewall pens only… Awarded one of 2 pens in this match - got sent the link (know the analysis man😉). Only for the replay to show, not only...

Definite pen - if your hiking down players round the neck - 👏 for var, so far having a good week. as for Butland, exactly as you say - he’s got 2 hands on in a routine gk action, where the ball would have remained in his hands, but for the contact… why Rob Jones went for the safe option and...

Love them - hate going back to youth games in the pm - for some reason they feel the afternoon game has more pressure - think that speaks volumes about GRF managers. 🤔

I do my fair share of Academy games, mentoring and officiating - also have a son in an EFL academy. I ad a hypothetical discussion with academy staff on a red card offence recently; violent conduct absolutely no issues with a red being shown. Other situations could perhaps be managed by an...

All sorted now - minor Jpeg image problem!

sorry! leave it with me!

Redesign of match wallet ref card, big enough to hold the info - small enough for your pocket ;-)

Andrew.Rainsbury submitted a new resource: 21/22 Ref-Card (fits in match wallet) - New updated Ref-Card Read more about this resource...

My sons EFL academy hasn’t gone back yet - although they are cat 3 and use local university facilities (which will open again on 17/8) - although the academy will be doing a staggered return (to help the boys get used to social distancing, but think this is more a coping mechanism for the...

I’ll start you off... (Woolwich) Arsenal (a collection of weapons and military equipment). Surely?

And there you have it... “controversial” decisions... I presume the media will give the same amount of air time to the ref for the game that went without incident - the way he played advantage that led to the goal etc... of course not - the media want controversial - otherwise it makes poor...

Yeah... it illustrates how the fans, players and managers don’t understand the laws of the game... let’s face it - if you’re at the wrong end of it - the uneducated will always disagree with it.

Great public speaker too - eloquent 👏 that’ll come in handy 😉

Turns out - all spot on... got to love this game!!!

only seen it the once, but it’s either the wolves player who encroach ended up clearing ... or keepers foot not on line 🤷‍♂️

Lemon or looking like a lemon 🤔 Taking one for the team - I believe is the term 😉

Within the laws... no point blaming the ref for players who aren’t that attentive - all it took was one red player to step into the half prior to kick off.

Re: freekicks - make it ceremonial in the last 3rd and stop all that nonsense! As for the rest of it, I never really had this but you do wonder why you bother. Sounds exactly the reason why cant be arsed to do OA - they just suck the life out of the match and my weekend. They create the...

Why on earth would you contemplate that! Think players need to take a test before allowed onto the FOP 🤦🏼‍♂️
