It's my first year as a 4. Last year I made sure I did every line I could to get experience (probs around 30 - including 18 supply league). It's the main advice I would give to anyone going for it. Learn to line properly!

Can Friend blow his whistle to restart the game with it in his hands? Was it reasonable to expect it to be ready?

'Do pitch inspections properly by getting your boots on and getting out there. If both teams want to play then who are you to stop them? If both teams don't want to then why would you make them? If one does and one doesn't that's when it's time to strap on a pair and make the correct decision'

What would Scarborough do then? Where would Middlesbrough be bundled with? Fwiw I agree with the concept BUT need my hometown looking after!

Much prefer Touchline as an Assistant - to the point I internally sigh if I see a non Touchline bag!

Club Marks do get tainted by KMDs against teams. However if everyone did 25 games on the same league then I'd expect that the average would reflect your relevant ability at that level. Most teams don't like cards, but if you give them consistently to both sides then there's a respect there that...

I'll be controversial and say my honest opinion.... If he's forcefully turned me round in anyway then he's walking. If he's touched me to get my attention (without striking, shaking or anything else violent) then I'd remind him of his duties, explain he's lucky I'm taking it in the way I have...

Is it Brian Hamilton?

I love doing Youth games (u15/16), I find that I spend most of the game building a rapport with the players about what an utter set of Bellends the parents on the sidelines are.

Turn up, say hello. Find Manager....'Afternoon mate, before I forget....other week when I had you, you went back to changing rooms. I don't think we'll have enough light to finish game today if you do that so can you stay out today please?'

'I've never been booked in my life' 'You mean you've only been booked once in your life'

I've heard Bradford may be looking.....

I think it massively depends on tone of voice for me. Was he just doing it in a flippant 'handbags' 'thinks he is 10 men' way but wouldn't follow it up? In which case warn him if he as much as farts in that players direction I'll be cautioning him as a minimum. Was it aggressive? Caution him...

I hope Mr Rhodes is suitably impressed on Saturday!

I did Mr Hamilton.

I refereed this year on my birthday having closed the date. It was at County Headquarters though and had NARs!

Ref Secretary might be a bit suspicious of your 437/100 mark though...,

Yesterday morning have a penalty, and the other CB is digging up Penalty mark with boot. Wasn't 100% certain it was an act of skulduggery as marking wasn't superb. 'Why have you just done that?' 'Why not?' 'Come back.....' That cleared that one up for me!

I hate the new shorts and have binned them off and carried on with last seasons
