I have no problems if the ball is out of play, providing it not happening every 5mins.

I'm going for 5-4 promotion next season. I will still be refereeing at step 7 fixtures and club AR and occasionally NAR. Currently, I have very cheap AR flags. Should I now invest in a better set of flags? I have a cup final coming up in a few weeks. Would you recommend investing in a pair of...

Extraordinary report. Let the country fa deal with it. Include everything that was said on the pitch side and at half time.

During today’s match, I dismissed a player in the 33rd minute due to what I perceived as foul and abusive language. After a free kick, I issued a yellow card, sending them to the sin bin for decent. As the player left the field with their back to me, I heard the player call me a “****.” as they...

Yes, I can see how it could be interpreted that way. The watch is only stopped during a prolonged stoppage; otherwise, it would become dark before the final whistle at park football if the watch is stopped every time.

Thanks James, The time lost was also added at end of 90mins. Which is how I understood it. I just wish Mangers would read the laws before accusing the referee of making up as they go along.

My understanding is that you can complete your course anywhere and then simply apply to your local Football Association to inform them that you have attended the course and need to fulfill the requirement of officiating five games.

Does anyone know the best place to buy Nike tracksuit bundle from. Tops, bottom, t-shirt and jacket please.

When going 5-4, do you get the opportunity to ref at step 6? Or does that only come in once you are an L4?

Great job! It's clear that they make an effort to play a passing game instead of relying solely on long balls and capitalising on their fastest player's speed. Once again, I would suggest mentioning these fixtures to your RA to ensure that you have personal covered. However, don't let that...

Be careful, you should only be taking fixtures you are appointed too now you are qualified

No problem with L7. Where you appointed to the fixture or just asked? I only expect fixture that I'm appointed to by the leagues referee appointment Secretary.

Just give them 5 min max between quarters.
