Level 3 promotions are in the process of being sent out. I was lucky enough to receive an email informing me of my promotion to level 3! (pending meeting all the necessary requirements)

Game is a supply league game. Neutral assistant is managing the substitutions. Substitute comes on, and play is restarted. A couple of minutes pass, and you notice that the player has a number on his shorts, but no number on the back of the shirt. (i.e. the back of the shirt is plain). What do...

Gents, Doctors have recently told me I've got a groin strain, which is rubbish considering the timing. His recommendation is just rest and anti-inflammatory meds. The level 4 fitness test is under 3 weeks away, and I'll have to do some training, but obviously I need to rest. So slightly...

This happened to me yesterday, feel free to discuss: Red defender is on the goal-line and deliberately back-heels the ball to his goalkeeper, who is standing in front of him, on the 6 yard line. What would you have done?

Whats happened to MI? His account appears to be a guest account...

@MI posted this on the Mass Confrontation thread and I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Were all actions taken correct? Could it have been managed differently? Discuss

This happened a while ago, but is still on my mind http://gfycat.com/SilkyLividAmoeba We all agree this is an IDFK, but I remember Chris Smalling receiving a caution for this, the first time he had done it. All seemed well, but then I thought to my self, what was he actually cautioned for...

Had my last 5-4 assessment yesterday, all others had gone without incidence, so I was hoping for the same. I knew it wouldn't, and I was correct. x2 red cards for the same team, and naturally throughout the game, everything went against this one team. Through no fault of mine. Penalty appeals...

Watching MOTD - just seen Danny Welbeck being pulled down for the UTD penalty. No card shown to the offender... Discuss!

Hi guys, Will be going for my level 4 this season, and have the beautiful fitness test awaiting. Thinking I should do a bit of training; for those who have done the 5-4 fitness test, what do you recommend the best type of training to be? I'm thinking some track work, and literally just keep...

This is an out of interest thread... Just wondering if any of you carry out team talks with the home and away team players before the game, e.g. what you expect of them etc... I personally don't, and cringe when I see referees do it, especially when I was a player. I find there is no need for...

Hi All, I had a tricky match incident. I'll tell you what happened, see what you would do, and then tell you what I did. Somehow the keeper becomes injured whilst the opposing team are on the counter-attack. This becomes apparent when we get closer to him, as he is still laying on the floor...

Hi All, We all know that tape "and any other type of material" should be the same colour as the part of the sock to which it is applied. Do ankle guards apply to the "other type of material"?

Hi Guys, Firstly, many thanks for the birthday messages! Secondly, I have a question, it may have a very obvious answer... Goal kicks... We all know the ball is not in play until if leaves the penalty area. Now reading the LOTG, it states that an infringement occurs "If, after the ball is...

Hi Guys, Thought I'd better introduce myself! Level 6 referee, been reffing for many seasons now! Qualified referee mentor, and looking at doing an assessors course very soon. Also looking to get my level 5 next season. Looking forward to helping colleagues out, and also being helped, as...
