    Survey on Referee Abuse

    I haven’t done the survey yet and I’m another country. What is common is, referees are like zero hours contract workers. Think what has happened to the “task rabbits”, the delivery drivers, taxi drivers, warehouse workers. They had no workplace protection, minimal rights, minimal representation...

    Survey on Referee Abuse

    It is not ideal when a long search for this only yields two threads on here! Can’t really be cited or treated as a serioys reference without some kind of article or source. I do know some Polish refs via Iber Cups… I’ll ask.

    Survey on Referee Abuse

    What is the Poland legislation? I’ve Googled and can’t find it.

    MOAS emails

    I’m (seriously) recruiting for an email compliance and data governance specialist to join my team. I was looking at CVs today and you just went to the top of the pile!

    Junior/Youth speaking to 16+ year olds

    I try to avoid non-football words or additional talk in youth matches. Dissent is very rare, so low tolerance fits. Just the facts. I don’t think spending time sweet talking is anyone’s interest. The exception is with a very young player that is hurt/upset - even then, if I say a few kind...

    Interesting Start

    Positioning… when on your own you have to compromise… and you will learn how much you can run and when to take risks. Best advice I had was: practice the diagonal path already. Sure, you will sacrifice some ball in/out on the far side, but you will better positioning for offsides and it will...

    Interesting Start

    Good advice above:) On your own with offsides… the first time 2-3 defenders look like lemons standing appealing, after the play remind them ”guys I can’t help you if you stand there appealing… remember, play to the whistle… I try to see everything… I am not gonna guess for you.. keep playing!”...

    Ending the match early

    We have a 15 lead mercy rule in futsal. I’ve had it twice this season. Everyone’s happy to stop at 17-2.

    Cup semi final kicked off

    That’s low level dissent. They don’t really care about the time it takes, but they feel the chink in your armour. Mid-level players with mouths faster than their feet! You said it - you need to keep control, do all the ceremonies clearly, predictably, no surprises.

    Match Official Mic'd up

    Did someone in this thread just say Mac Allister was acting carelessly - for chesting a ball before someone stuck studs in his chest and thigh. FFS. Sad really.

    Match Official Mic'd up

    Mac Allister plays the ball first. Shocking that they did not use the angles here.

    Team Official Second Caution

    Law 12, team officials, sending off… “receiving a second caution in the same match” seems pretty clear to me. How can you receive a second caution if you are not shown a yellow card..?

    Handball mess and what happens next?

    Had handball preseason training with about 90 colleagues. Senior FA bod took us through UEFA training and close to 40 clips. We had the training and then voted on each clip, offence/no offence. Downhill from here I’m afraid. Real eye opener for me. There were many clips with 20-50% differing...
