Ok,had a penalty shoot out with no neutral AR's. Decided not to use the club AR's help, but to stand near the edge of the goal area / 6 yard box where I could keep an eye on the goalie moving based on the noise of the kicker who I also watched on his run up. All going well until one penalty...

Is the ref having a mare? Gave yellow for a challenge with studs about shoulder height. Red for me. Player received treatment then forced off the pitch... I thought this law had changed and if opposition player booked or sent off then he could stay on the pitch. Blatant foul throw that...

There was an incident at the Wimbledon v Oxford game on Saturday. Two players jumped up for a ball. The Wimbledon defender was standing behind the Oxford forward. The ball was being played up to the forward from what I can remember. Either way the Wimbledon defender was behind the forward who...

when everyone has left the pitch? What if, you send players off who have left the FOP after the final whistle but some players still haven't left the FOP (you had to leave the pitch to sort out the incident)

Compared to some other refs on here today I think I got an easy game by comparison. Top of the table clash,end to end game, played at very fast pace at this level with few players taking a touch. Add to the fact it is a local derby,lots of parents screaming for pretty much the whole game and...

I have assisted a couple of times recently where the league prefer/require qualified refs as assistants even though they are supplied by the clubs, and on both occasions have arrived before the referee - pertinent so as to make it clear I didn't miss anything. On both occasions the referees...

Was watching a Ladies open age game recently. The away team were giving the ref a bit of a hard time, two or three players constantly claiming throw ins etc when it was clear they kicked it off etc. After four or five shouts at from the manger, an hour into the game he shouts "You're having an...

Blues are attacking and blue midfielder plays the ball over the top to his tall centre forward, who is in an onside position. The Blues small centre forward is 5 yards away (to the side) from the onside, tall centre forward but the small CF is in an OFFSIDE position. The tall centre forward...

I had an incident which if it happened again I would do the same, but I got annoyed because I entered into a discussion with a spectator/possible coach (but not official manager). His team were attacking and a ball went through that their forward was never going to reach. The central defender...

I was taking charge of an U15 cup game, played in good spirit. Tthe away team was attacking and play heading towards the corner flag furthest away from the club assistants. I was within 15 yards of play but three players challenging I could not be sure who had the last touch as the ball...

What should you do as a referee where the two teams provide the assistant referee in a cup game that goes to penalties? Firstly, do you ask for help or do you do it yourself without either of them? And secondly, positioning...ok if you have a proper assistant but if you have none, or club...

I've just started out refereeing but had a debate with a manager recently over foul throws. Firstly, the law states At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower: • faces thefield of play • has part of each foot either on the touch line or on the ground outside thetouch line • holds the...

Had an incident in a girls U-13 match, whereby an attacking player was in an offside position, and she was the only player that the ball could have been played to (i.e. she didn't have to touch the ball for the offside to be given). She was very close to the goal area and had not yet touched...

I have just passed my exams and need to get a kit quickly. Are they only available on line or do some retailers actually stock them? I live in the Wimbledon but can travel around London to get one. Thanks
