What is the best heatmap app to use?

Heard the Garmin watches are very good with built in GPS which is nice as I dont carry my phone when refereeing so at least then that allows me to see a heat map scenario and see what positions Im getting into

So any watch with a GPS you mean? Do you have to carry your phone with you while you ref though or is it just through wearing the watch alone?

I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a smart watch or app that I can use whilst refereeing so I can track my runs whilst refereeing, like a strava/map my run scenario so I can see what areas I am running into etc Please could anyone let me know.

Hi Guys, I like the look of the new Nike kit, where is the best place to buy it? Any tips or places or anywhere online would be great.

I had a thought earlier about this and couldn't quite get my head round it... What happens when a keeper picks up the ball or makes a save outside the box with his/her hands What is the procedure and the punishment etc? I couldn't find it in the laws of the game and just wanted clarification...

It was so quick, cant really remember to be fair, the ball was there to be won and the striker missed it and caught the GK. Was definitely not malicious more accidental than anything else.

Thanks for the reply guys. I saw the striker go for the ball which was down low like just below knee length and as he kicked the ball he missed the ball and caught the keeper on the follow through who dived at his feet. There wasn't a lot of force but still quite hard anyway, they both went in...

I Had an U14s game today which was a top of the table clash as well as a local derby, I had the privilege of 2 assistants who were qualified referees so it really helped me in the end. However here is the dilemma/issue I had today. The striker from the red team went in for a 50/50 with the...

Your assessors give you marks out of 100 and you have to average 70% for your games, you have to do a minimum of 3 games. I got 69% so missed out unfortunately
