Yeah but is it likely that anywhere else on the pitch you will have someone jump up and potentially land a full boot of studs in the side or back of someones head? And thats likewise for the rest of the body. If the players in the wall jump up and back, they can land on the player and...

Yes it is however if an official has already made the decision and said nah no foul no sanction, why is AT getting involved then? Its the same as if im in the middle and i say no to a foul vocally and clearly but the lino flags anyway, what does that say about teamwork and match control? You...

I get that but my point more was, poorly worded in fairness, is that when Rob Jones has made the decision of throw in and no sanction, why is AT then getting involved. If RJ had held off or blown for the foul, fair enough but he hadnt. He has essentially rerefereed. That mix up in communication...

Truly, its insane how many SG1 officials get away with decisions that if we, lower down the pyramid, made, we would get slaughtered for. The thing is with that is that Jones had already made his decision that it wasnt a yellow otherwise he would have brought it straight out when he moved...

Hi guys, What do you all think of the kerfuffle towards the end of the game regarding the MGW second yellow and the subsequent nuno and fabian reds? I think Jones backed himself into a corner signalling that MGW got the ball to the Brighton players and then didnt attempt to book MGW until 30...

Absolutely, I dont think he meant to make me feel uncomfortable with the comment. it was a shock as I do not know him at all and hes meant to be a professional so i do think he needs to be made aware of how what he said can be perceived even if he meant it in another way.

Yeah thats exactly what happened. I found the email received at 11.03 and the phone calls came at around 11.50ish. Whilst i was still out. It is unfortunate but hey ho, it is what it is

This wasnt my observation btw for clarification. I was the lino for a ref who had an observer come down today as he is going for 5-4. During the pre-match talk, i tell the ref about the fact that Im deaf and if it rains I may have to take my hearing aids out and will struggle with hearing. I do...

Thats true true, its a massive shame cause its my first season being appointed to FA fixtures and so I want to experience them and learn more from doing higher quality matches. So if him knowing me and my name helps, maybe its not so bad that I missed out on this fixture if it means I get more...

I got told by my RDO at a promotion meeting this season that womens games only count towards the womens pathway and they dont count towards the male pathway iirc. I may be wrong quoting him but im pretty sure thats what he said.

So as it turns out, after emailing Adam about the issue, i was originally appointed to the fixture. However, whilst I was on a driving lesson and my phone switched off, he rang me to ask if I can do the fixture and after I didnt answer, he reappointed the fixture to someone else. Its unfortunate...

I dont know if im allowed to share the emails but Im more than happy to if I can as it says I replaced an official and was told to accept the appointment on MOAS. Im also confused about the appointment officers as an email I received when I got my first appointment a few weeks says its a man...

Leicester Nirvana vs Aylestone Park. Its on the FA Vase bit on the fulltime site however on my MOAS appointments page, it doesnt show. I dont have any competitions rules or anything attached to that confirmation email. Its literally just an email telling me the fixtures and to confirm on MOAS...

Ive been appointed to an FA Challenge Vase game tomorrow as a replacement for another assistant and the email tells me to confirm the appointment on MOAS. However, when I go onto MOAS to confirm it, the fixture isnt there. How can I sort this out and get it confirmed?

Hi Guys, So ive been given my first appointment as AR to an FA Youth Cup prelim game, is there anything I should be knowing going into this? IE kit requirements those sort of things. I really want to impress in this fixture so any help I can get would be massively appreciated.
