Your CFA will back you, you just paid for a quarter of their Christmas party! ;)

Sure, but impeding is a grey area anyway as it stands. I can think of twice in probably hundred games or so where I've given a free kick for impeding, so imagining a situation where a player would be stupid enough to do it in a DOGSO fashion is hard... I also would think twice about whether...

"Send him off for diving!"

Give ref sec in the leagues you ref on a call first thing, likelihood is somebody will have a pullout where you can fill in. :)

I really don't think any IDFK can be considered DOGSO, if we're putting our actual game heads on here...

Hope you're joking monkey. DOGSO can only apply to a penal offence? EDIT: Oops wrong!! But what IDFK offences could possibly genuinely constitute dogso? :o

I got taught when I played football a few years ago (and I still see coaches teaching it now) that you HAVE to put a name on the ball and nothing else. Of course I believed it up until reading the book myself just before I started my refs course... never seen a ref give a FK for "mine" or...

They probably would've reported me for using foul and abusive language... :eek:

Hahaha Beezer you never fail you make me chuckle! Got this one then expecting another hearing RE a match abandonment... possibly two in a month. Gah. Get the first one over and done with first though. Just waiting to hear back with a date.

Youth League (U12-U18) - £25 County League - £27 ref, £17 asst (+ expenses £0.35/mile, max £15) Senior County League - £32 ref, £17 asst (+ expenses £0.35/mile, max £15)

I thought the same given the nature of the things Jimmy Saville is known for. Kind of sank my heart when I overheard parents of the boys team ask him what he got sent off for, he replied "telling the ref my name was jimmy saville" and the parents started laughing... Of course I didn't send him...

Oh, I'd already prepared myself for that... I mean, I thought the whole process would be sitting around a conference table with the discipinary officer, probably another FA rep, myself and the accused... no? Care to shed some further light mr monkey?

I'm only going if @haywain doesn't go! :P

Had a player at U15s who I walked for F&A language give his name as Jimmy Saville. He didn't realize the consequences of me putting through Jimmy Saville as being sent off, thankfully the manager did and gave me the correct name.

I think a lot of the time throws are crap throws rather than foul throws, and 90% of the time a "foul throw" shout from a player gets a reply of "rubbish throw, not a foul". Occasions where it's very obvious etc I'll blow up and give it other way regardless of age group.

It all goes downhill from here :P

Might take a limo in that case. :D Take a colleague? Really? We're meant to do that? :o

Seems like you did the right thing although generally it's considered best to wait for an injured player to return to his feet before showing a caution... but not a necessity by any means. :)

Got the dreaded letter today for one. My first too, OA game but this one I was on my own, no assistants. Not liking the fact that CFA HQ is almost a 100 mile round trip either!

If you stop the game to caution a player for a non-penal offence then the correct restart is an IDFK, so you got that part right at least.
