Council park and changing rooms, but only one game happening on the day. Both clubs are aware but there's no CCTV or anything, so nowt will come of it - it's gone in on misconduct but the CFA and competition can't do much apart from record it and put a note out telling people to stay out.

Hi all, Saturday county league game was a bit of a slog this week - nothing out of the ordinary, just lots of whining, after being moaned at end of the first half I decided to just get cards out and not give players a chance to grumble, which seemed to keep things moving. Mass con at the end...

Entering the field of play to remonstrate with the officials is a red card offence, I believe, and much more seriously matey boy is accusing you of being a cheat, which isn't on. IF he complains the competition/county will probably tell him, politely, to stop being a wazzock.

I wonder if this is PGMOL guidance rather than LotG? As a previous commentator stated, there's no way you'd be in position if dropped and then the ball went straight into play, so perhaps the guidance from Webb has been to contrive to drop it in the box for the keeper to give officials time to...

A player in an offside position recieves the ball from a teammate, and a defending player tackles him in a reckless fashion, outside of the penalty area, denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. The referee shows a red card for DOGSO outside of the penalty area, when the assistant indicates...

Don't concern yourself with macronutrient ratios and figures - people don't eat to mathematical formulae. Increase your unsaturated fat and protein intake, but avoid adding in more carbohydrate unless you know you've got good sound control of your blood sugar levels. I would imagine as an L2...

In no particular order; 1. Work hard - you've got to be as fast or faster than the players, which means no slacking off when the ball is in play. 2. When dealing with persistent offences, be really clear what the situation is - pull the player out, publically, make it very clear and do it...

Don't be surprised if the report contains a few negatives your observer may not have mentioned - they have to include some written development points. Chances are they'll be quite small in the grand scheme of things, but they've got to put something in those boxes. Well done on surviving your...

Clipped from an email to my RDO about today - funnily enough we had a CPD event with Kevin Friend this week which was very helpful! Happy to say completely different today - funnily enough I ended up getting caught up in a random road closure so wasn't at the ground until about twenty minutes...

If it's in a break in play, by law, dismiss the perpetrator with a red card. If it's in play, red card and an indirect free kick from the touchline. The only time you'd need to do an extraordinary report is if they keep giving it some after you've dismissed them, or if it's after the conclusion...

Initially it was the only way I could stay involved in football - like all referees I'm a bit crap at the game even if I do think I could still do a job! There's something about the challenge of having these intense situations to try and get the right decision on that I enjoy - I always hated...

As it happens I've been picked up for a game in North Beds this weekend before I had a chance to close the date so if you're about on Saturday, by all means. Drop me a PM and we'll have a chat, thanks.

Short and sweet - two teams this morning decided I'd piddled on their cornflakes. Even really stupid things like refusing to leave the area for a goal kick. One player I knew I should have binned early on kept on at me. Players refusing to provide surnames so I've had to submit a report that...

Just check Big Dave's 144p phone camera from 2009 on the sideline, that'll do!

What was the outcome in the end?
