I'm not sure if this is in the correct section but.... What's everyones opinion on players asking for the opposition to be carded at sunday league level or any level for that matter?

Anyone tried a microsoft band 2? it has built in GPS. I don't know if you can use GPS and stopwatch at the same time though.

debate the hypothetical situation of you cautioning a 15 year old who then keels over and has an asthma attack... they are called laws because they can be interpreted.... for example. 2 people go to court, same offence (i'll let you chose the offence in this hypothetical situation), different...

yeah but it wasnt under 18s and he wasnt being assessed. common sense approach to someone in difficulty... or caution the kid who then falls to the floor and has an asthma attack.... you judge the situation on its merits and use a bit of common sense... or dont you have any?

No need to give the lad stick... He's come on for advice and the best some of you can do is ridicule him. I didn't know you were all perfect, or that you never made a mistake in you life. some of you are pathetic. No wonder i'm getting sick of this site. its supposed to be a forum where like...

This happens every week to me seriously. I had one junior team manager in a pre-season friendly a few months ago who told me i was wrong not to give a free kick for "leave it" with no one near the player as it rolled out for a throw in, until he was blue in the face.. (its an expression) I...

anything abit cheaper?

hopefully that someone says have a look at this watch... it does this this and this and it refreshes every second to give you great gps coverage or someone might tell my they have bought one in the last few weeks thatbthey love that isn't on here... it doesnt have to be a ref specific watch it...

Just a quick update for you all.... i adapted my 'toss talk' to include "i do not take kindly to any sort of dissent and if I see or hear any i will be doing something about it. lets not have any stupid tacklesetc etc, enjoy the game" the first time i done that speech i had a player comment...

Right guys. ive read a few watch threads on here and i cant decide... i'm looking for one of these gps watches.... one that can tell me everywhere I have been on the pitch if i connect it to an app or a laptop. i'm not the most technical person so i dont really understand the spiel they have on...

i thought it was still 1995 sorry brian!

nothing wrong with a bit of common sense brian and i personally would use a very similar approach. i come on here for advice but when i see people calling other referees and ramming a book down their throat it reminds me of everything thats wrong with the game and makes me not want to bother...

i thought if you stood on the half way line and could see both goals it was ok?

sorry lads been quite busy with work and a couple of games over the weekend. i really do appreciate all the feedback and i certainly will be trying to put the advice in to practice. just to clarify the statement i gave was just a random example amd not something i would be saying to everyone on...

Thanks regalref. I try to pick up on names if i can before ive even had a decision to make. I find calling people by their name helps. I think your point about slowing the game down is a very valid point and I will use this as and when required this coming weekend. Come to think of it, on sunday...
