A bloke from Coral on TalkSport this morning said if this time last year you put £5 on Leicester to win the Premier League, Britain to vote out on Brexit and Trump to become president, you'd now be due a cool £8 million. Eight Million Pounds. Wow.

Found this site, £30 for the new shirt, £34 long sleeve, free delivery. Pretty fair I thought... http://www.clublinefootball.com/referee_kit

You're missing the point of the reasoning for doing this though. It's not about preventing an advantageous situation from arising for one team, or allowing an advantage to be accrued by the other. It's about match control, nothing else. And fair play to him for recognising what could be a...

Tricky one for the fact that no two incidents like this are the same, there are always variables. To be honest if this is one with the V/C and no retaliation of V/C I'd say get rid of the culprit quickly as you have and deal with the yellow at your leisure (and I mean leisure, drag it out as...

Sometimes. I do miss the banter in the changing room before and after games. Also miss the gritty one-on-one battles you get as a player. I always played right wing back so had the luxury of marking a left winger and attacking a left back in each game.

Wow! My head hurts! :wall: Do yourself a favour with the report though, don't copy and paste this...

Had a game this morning, taught a lesson that's easy to forget - trust your instincts. Game at a place I'm a regular, Community Football Centre very close to me where they have about 10 real good quality pitches, mixture of full size and various smaller pitches for various age groups of kids...

This game will have more for your development than an easy one, be sure of that. A saying a wise old owl once told me is true in this situation, as I'm sure @Padfoot would agree... "You can never issue too many cards, but you can too few"

Personally I find it hard to lay the full blame with the club. Yes they should have contacted in the preceding days but... Surely whoever allocated such an important fixture would be requesting confirmation of its acceptance? There is also a responsibility of all referees to check appointments...

To be fair a large portion of that £5 Billion has ended up in Sepp Blatter's bank account :pirate::ninja:

I wouldn't be worried about it whatsoever. Couple of things I would say, and this isn't criticism, but on the whole it doesn't really work to your advantage too often to ignore somebody completely when they do talk to you, no matter how little you want to talk to them. Obviously I understand...

I'd like to summarise in far fewer words: Dissent is: - 'Where a player is being a bit of a c**k'.

I think there are few things to consider with 'in the back ref' shouts... - is the player accused of committing the offence watching the ball or the other player? - how far have each of the players had to move to get underneath the drop of the ball? (For example, has a defender come forward 5...

Game this afternoon in the County Ladies League. Red v Blue/Yellow. Red far the better side, 5-0 up at half time. Away team moaning for every decision, stopping play at various times to wait for the smallest of free kicks, moaning at being hard done to (surprise surprise they were losing...

Does that also mean you are limited driving wise?

I personally would have done exactly what you did mate. Especially in a cup game. It seems to me more and more 'observers' are favourable to 'managing' situations instead of issuing cautions, which for me is a bad practice to encourage. If there's nothing in the game (like a 5-0 game for...

That's exactly what they say... :punch:

Not that late in the weekend. I did email a couple of refs secs in case of any last minute drop outs but all went as planned!

Should have had a game today with NAR's. Game was 45 miles away, venue had changed twice this week, (after I had confirmed originally with assistants so had to arrange travel arrangements 3 times with them), was unable to take an afternoon game due to the travelling meaning I wouldn't be back...

That's why there are mods here. Leave them to do their jobs. Ironic that your repetition is in response to apparent repetition!
