If you write to FIFA via letter and send it in the post asking for one you can get a copy. I wrote to them and got LOTG, Red and Yellow FIFA cards, a flip coin and stickers. Cost about 80p for the stamp to Switzerland i think.

Congratulations to The Boys Brigade in Scotland who are now officially the world record holders of the longest marathon 5 aside game of football played (55 hours). Proud to say that I, in capacity as a referee, acted as an independent witness to verify part of the record attempt...

In the LOTG it says we can stat a game without nets but we need corner flags. Most games I have have no corner flags. Anyone refused to ref because of this?

Watching a tournament at weekend with torrential weather and mud bath pitch. Single ref with no CAR or NAR as it is in scotland. Anyway, player for blue (#8) was the only black player on the field and having watched a couple of other games throughout the day he was really Lippy. Anyhow, during...

Thinking that too SM, some people are just trivializing what are extremely serious issues.

Quite rich coming from someone who's country who has just had anti Jewish attacks recently. Maybe a little more education is in order if you think that it is brainwash. Look at the facts. The FA deemed it offensive. Members of Jewish faith groups found it offensive and im pretty sure...

Difficult to go on one man crusade? Sorry, but who said it is a crusade? It is effectively and appropriately applying the LOTG. In your title you question whether or not you should have sent him off which in my opinion shows that you considered his statement to be OFFINABUS but didn't act as...

As referees we are there to uphold the laws of the game which are in place to protect the image of football. Say for example, there was a gay person beside the incident who heard what was said and seen that only a yellow card was given, is that person likely to become involved in football or...

In Glasgow, West and Central area I think it must be different. I've not been refereeing this year because of a number of reasons but last year, after only 12 games, all at U15 or younger, I was offered Junior line, SPFL Womans Line and Amateur Ref (OA) games.

The fees just about pay for the stab proof vests and CS spray we need :D

A bit of a hypothetical question here. Background - I was playing FIFA last night and got the keeper sent off for DOGSO in the second minute (never a red card though haha) then got my CB sent off for DOGSO as well in the 9th. Considering in not great at FIFA normally, I ended up losing 6-0 at...

Maybe ;)

Only one of them Haywain, I'll let you guess which :)

@Brian Hamilton @DaveMac or anyone else who wants to answer - out of curiosity, what would your action be if said 11 year old called you a "blind bald/ginger/fat idiot" regarding a decision? I've had it before and got him subbed since it was a friendly. Was it a proper match I'd have had no...

We are taught that if he used his arm as a weapon, it's a red. If he uses his arm as a tool to gain an advantage, it's yellow. I can understand why some are giving red, personally though I'd be giving a yellow for USB

I think the 28,000 but actually 19,000 is commonplace in football with season tickets being counted whether or not they were used. I do have to say though I don't know where our "fans" have went. I waited last season for 6 hours for champions league 3 match package tickets and for the game at...

Do you think it was a red for VC? I think that the glance he gave just before he put his hand out May have made it look intentional.

Your fans don't do walking away though I thought ;p

Temporarily stopped a game for 5 minutes at u11 level as almost all of the players laces had come undone. Quite comical.

I'm not sure how you feel about wearing an unbadged kit, but aca sports do them with a fair discount. http://www.acasports.co.uk/index.php?cPath=288_715
