Has anyone ever thought of a kind of event for this forum?

I mean if I saw that in the moment, I would probably be inclined to give it

He just went into the challenge with his hands, I deemed it a genuine attempt at the ball so gave a yellow.

The new DOGSO rules

Yeah the red manager was very (suprisingly) understanding once I'd explained the decision. The players weren't as understanding... :confused:

I was asked to take an open age game as the referee had let them down, I knew a few of the players and the guy who asked quite well so I accepted as I saw it as a chance to experience open age before I take it in a competitive competition. The game started well and I thought I was controlling...

I think you probably should have sent them off, sending them off would leave them 10 v 10 and still fair despite the extra substitutes. Violent conduct like that is not something that should be let off as it can lead to more later in the game (even if it is a friendly) you may have got lucky...

My most hated pundit has to be Niall Quinn. he may talk sense sometimes, but boy does he get things inaccurate and annoyingly wrong most of the time. (He's improved more over the last season or so)

I've never tried to catch it for that reason! Although I'm sure it can get a bit of a joke going with the captains straight away.

I use a Casio W76 for a countdown watch and then one which counts up. I find that the Casio will do as a fairly cheap watch.

That's what my colleagues were saying, they were saying the type of football played comparatively is massively different, I personally think the levels are there for a reason, why skip them? From what I can tell this lad is relatively young as well.

I was on a final the other day and heard the other officials talking about the 4 to 3 promotions as there were 3 listed from out county. They then got on the conversation of some other guys that were up for promotion and mentioned that someone was going from level 6 to 4 and he was on the same...

If I were to buy a new shirt should I get one with both badges on?

I got my FA badge back in September and got it sewn on, but when working with other referees I've noticed some of them have the local FA badge on, I can't seem to find this badge on any of the online shops or on the the local FA website. This FA is the Lincolnshire FA.

Yeah the problem with me doing one right before I'm not sure if their will be time for a warm up with them and I'm not too sure if there will be a fourth official but if there is I'll take your advise into consideration, thanks. :D

My first final in the middle this Saturday in a year 8 cup final (U13). At a local ground as well so there will likely be a crowd of some sort that could scrutinise. Also straight before I'm assistant on another final (full finals day) so my legs might be a bit dead, I'm standing on terraces...

I absolutely think he should of got this right. I was watching in real time at the angle as well and I could tell he was offside the entire time. I was shocked when the flag didn't go up.

You could tell a lot of the Liverpool fans didn't see how bad it was at the time just from their reaction and the fact they were more annoyed he kicked the ball away than the original challenge. I actually didn't see it but was sure it was at least a yellow but as soon as I saw the replay there...

If you look at one of the angles you see Vardy go across and then start to go down (dramatically at that) before contact is made. I thought it was a good decision.

That's what I was thinking... I was looking at the top of the screen to see when he came to help
