Age is nothing so go for it, as others of said, if your good enough your good enough. I know of a few refs who have got level 4 post 50. There was a referee promoted to the football league at 52 a couple of years back.

Personally this guys going at half time, he has had his warning and then approached you at half time, aggressively and saying things like "who do you think you are fu-n god?" At that point i would tell him that he is to leave the technical area and not return. The guy sounds like an absolute...

Well here's an observer telling you that you are incorrect in law, it really is that simple. Agree to disagree all you like. As with verbally distracting an opponent, if you are stopping play then it is a caution and a IDFK restart.

Sounds like you diffused the situation well, however i wouldn't recommend physically removing or pushing players. What if he claims you assaulted him? What if he decides he doesn't like being man handled and punches you? My advice would be to get on the scene quickly, get a good angle and try...

Just another query, i am not sure if i am reading this correctly. You start by giving a IDFK for dissent, is this with or without the caution or sin bin? You cant give one without the other.

Correct, football is football

@Big Cat the law does change next season but the answer is C, this season and next and each season after

This is a refereeing forum not an English test, everybody knows exactly what @Chrisp72 meant.

I completely get your opening statement here and your right it can make you feel that way, but you cant let it. They are attacking the badge, the shirt, not you personally. Don't let them grind you down. Stay strong. You are the only person on that pitch who knows the laws and how to apply them...

Dont get the second bit though. Before you blow, red picks up the ball, arms go up for advantage, cross and decent chance? **Edit, sorry you dont mean picks up literally do you?

VC is VC irrelevant of he thinks he has been fouled, irrelevant of whether you have played advantage or given a free kick so you were quite right to show the red card. Typical player response of "how can he be sent off and fouled".

What did you send him off for? Was it VC for the kick?

Its weird, i dont go in shops i buy virtually everything online and never had an issue with any footwear i have bought apart from astro trainers!!!!

Need some advice. I wear Adidas Copa Mundials but wanted to get some Astro Trainers. Because i wont wear them that often i didnt want the expense of buying the Copa Mundial trainers. So i bought another pair of Adidas online (sports direct) and they are so narrow i cant even get my foot in them...

Im not sure where phase of play comes from. As @Peter Grove said this is not in LOTG at all. I am not sure i am giving this though, its all in that wording of deliberate. There is no way in a million years he has deliberately kicked the ball to himself. Edit - Is the deliberate pass the...

I am from Cheshire yes and registered with Cheshire FA.

Welcome!!!

I think that it should be all or nothing. If grounds cannot accommodate VAR then it should not be used anywhere in the FA Cup, otherwise clubs are at a disadvantage or advantage whichever way you look at it.

Grassroots then id agree, FA Cup 3rd round, not a chance.

I honestly dont think there would be any debate had that happened, a leg breaking tackle can happen at any time not the ref's fault is it? Personally in a game of this magnitude i think you have to add time on. Besides who's to say Rotherham couldn't have pulled 7 back in added time?
