Welcome to the world of NARs. I'd of been on high alert after the first flag and just lead them all the way from then on. Try to leave as little grey area's as possible for the assistant in your pre-match. Curve ball's from grey area's where a flag is unexpected will ruin your match control...

Who played it to the offside player? The referee must of communicated it was by Red.

Really? That's awful.

Like when you see referee's stop play and give an indirect free kick when a player says leave it when talking to a team mate with no opponents near him. Then when we get "You can't say that ref" you know where it comes from.

No. I wouldn't allow a player to wear a pin, so wouldn't wear one myself. And before a smart arse says buy you wouldn't let a player wear a watch, you know what I mean. :p

@David Sutton I accept if he tried to denied possession then it's left a referee with little option, but from the image that I've portrayed in my head for a ball going out of play that is close, that the player thought was out of play I can't see a caution.

@Darius Imagine you're cruising through a nice game which is in your pocket. Both players responding well, match control everything going really well. This happens, players are all expecting a FK, you pull out a yellow and send him off, you're going to have the other 10 left on the pitch...

Do you mean on your kit?

I know. Were you on the game? Why wouldn't the referee drop you home?

@Darius What the funk???:confused:

Be careful on this one, remember assistants are there to assist, not insist! Back them yes, but they could be over sensitive, then you need to manage the situation. If they're wrong on a decision and get a sarcy comment, that they want booking for dissent which would be detrimental to your...

Why a red for the kiss? Why a caution? If the player who reacted didn't react would the referee of had a decision to make?

Like @Brian Hamilton Says you have too much to lose for a facebook status.

Stuff like this and too many mushy posts about relationships on Facebook gets an unfollow from me. Most people won't read past the first two lines as they see it being so long and about refereeing and even as a referee I'd of got bored. If your going to deliver a powerful message it needs to...

It's a great start! Focus on positives and look forward to your next assessment. Don't let it slip. When I went 5-4 I had 5 assessments and had to average 75. I had 3 75's on 76 and an 80 (for the easiest game of the lot) but that didn't come until the 4th assessment. It will keep you working...

Similar happened to me on Saturday just gone, no goal scored just in a good area. Resultant freekick, went in the top left hand corner! A lot of luck involved with this refereeing lark!

Well he is 18 and level 5 so must be doing something right with the little support he has got so far. A bitter whinge doesn't make you go home and feel like crying. That's bullying. Yes there is Banter in refereeing, but bullying I've never experienced. They have taken it too far to affect the...

Undergarments matching the most prominent colour. Hopped socks, pick one of the two colours and get the whole team to stick to it.

Yeah, I think it depends on context, reaction and volume. A you have to be there to judge it?

Throwing a spanner in the works. Like it! I'd still red card.
