Please feel free to tell IFAB to amend Law 4, then:
The players must be inspected before the start of the match and substitutes before they enter the field of play.
The usual brief is:
1)I see it, I give it
2)I see it, I shout "No" and cut the grass
3)I look at you with "Help!" written on my forehead. If you think it is, signal it. If you think it's not, shake your head, call "No" or make it clear. Only if 100% sure, give it.
It’s most unusual for an @JamesL post to confuse me, but this did! For the benefit of newer referees, the law has for many seasons stated that cautions during the match are not carried into penalty shootouts, but this season specific mention is made about the goalkeeper not being allowed to...
Looking at the April appointments on MOAS, it appears that the net is cast wide, not just "promising" officials. That is in line with the men's pathway, where Level 4's are appointed to assist Level 3's, etc.
Welcome to the forum!
Hopefully your approach will rub off on those referees who contribute hugely to the forum and to refereeing, encouraging them to act as mentors once a month to assist newly qualified referees in their home area. Every area in England is short of mentors, despite the fact...
A referee with friends? 😂
As the aim is to support those officials who can progress up the ladder, so that would determine the ages of those who are invited.
