Used to annoy me no end when Steven Taylor used to do this all the time for Newcastle and got away with it and people described it as 'clever' and 'funny.' Probably more to do with being a bitter Sunderland supporter though

I'm a bit worried about the start of the new season, truth be told. I took the last 3 or so months off from football last season after becoming disinterested but I've decided to get straight back into it. Mainly worried cause I haven't managed to get any pre-season games so I'm heading straight...

Forgot to post back in here, interestingly enough the original name given (the one which was apparently fake) was listed on the whole game system but the second name was not. In the end I submitted the name given on the pitch as the cautioned player with a note on the whole game system stating...

So, pre-season game today and cautioned for a player for dissent. He gave me a name which didn't come across as fake. But then after the game, he comes into the changing room and says "so, do you want my real name then" Do I report the caution under the fake name or the real name? Or do I send...

That's a good shout, forgot that I did 4/5 months of lines to get used to it and then moved onto middles

For what it's worth, I did my first OA game when I was a few months over 16. In my first game it was obvious that I didn't have much confidence and was very nervy. But in the two years since my confidence has come on leaps and bounds, basically just go for it

Glad I asked about this, happened twice in the first three minutes. Would have been ridiculous to play on in the circumstances in which it happened. Thankfully they were two good sporting teams and they were happy just to give it to the team who lost out on possession

Really? I did consider the idea of a drop ball but what if a striker is through on goal and I stop the game for a drop ball? All hell will break loose but I suppose I can't win no matter what I do

Not a match incident as such but got a last minute pitch change today and we're on an astro pitch instead. There's a thin metal strip running above the pitch, if the ball hits it then it pretty much just stops. Would I be right in thinking that in this scenario we play on, as if it was a...

Cheers guys, I'll be sending a report in along with the caution then. Won't bring it up to anybody at the school though, as I say it'll just be an empty threat and don't see the point in potentially aggravating it, I think a report to the county will suffice

So an Under 16 game today, away team on their final warning from the league but suprinsgly no problems at all from them. Nothing really happened but had to stop a few times due to verbals between H9 and A5. Anyway into the second half and H9 let his mouth go a bit to much and he went into the...

Just seen the video on the Sunderland forum, they're having a good laugh at it. Didn't think it'd be that bad in real time but it's baffling how you could get it that wrong, I really hate critising officials but it's purely embarassing

I wasn't at the game but from the discussion I've heard from the Sunderland fans, that's correct. Will be intresting to see on MOTD

Bit of a strange one in the Spurs Sunderland game, this is a picture of when the player is flagged offside, the Sunderland goalkeeper was in the Spurs box and the spurs player scored but was flagged offside. Strange one but I'm not complaining

Sorry to hijack your thread but I had a random incident about a month ago which I've just remembered. Ball going towards touchline, substitute controls it from what looks like off the pitch so signal for thrown in. But he shouts "sorry ref, it didn't go out" Now ignoring the fact it should be...

An embarassing reaction by Tompkins however, despise players who act like that

So I have my second assessment this Sunday and I've been told that their will be two assessors there. Both of them are pretty experienced, so why would this be the case?

So on the line tonight for a FA youth cup qualifying round, very happy with the appointment, didn't realise level 7's could get these games!

So normally this type of thing wouldn't bother me, I've got pretty thick skin when it comes to taking crap off people but today it really grated on me and I'm unsure whether it would be petty to send a misconduct report. Basically, game (u17s) finished 3-3. The away team threw away a 3-1 lead...

Thanks for the advice, after the tackle I was playing it over and over in my head and I was sure I had bottled but first game back since April, I was a wee bit rusty. To answer some questions, yes the attacker was in playing distance of the ball, he was running towards said defender when it...
