Late post but I've been thinking about this all week and I felt the need to post it now. Saturday U21s I had a nice fair game, nothing really doing, easy to control, a fun game to referee. Sunday U15s I had a horror. It was a team I'd refereed before, blues, and I'd had a bad time with them...

Going back to the earlier video posted in this thread of Paul Gascgoine booking the ref! Had a similar situation the other day in a U21's when a player approached me with my red card in my hand. Must have fallen from my back pocket. Sent me off, cue laughter all around. Looks of joy fell to the...

Did you misword that or did you say you'd give a caution if a CAR asked you to?

If they've got the ball in the net quicker than you've got the whistle in your mouth and blown it then fair enough I guess, otherwise a pen all day :P

I had a U15 game today and Yellows goalkeeper got injured pretty bad, he was down for 4-5 minutes, had to be replaced and was quite badly winded. Poor lad was fighting back the tears, and his mum actually called me over and asked if she could come onto the pitch. Really appreciated that she'd...

I'm only ever playing advantage in the area if the player has got a free stab at an open goal otherwise penalty. Too much hassle otherwise.

For me it's "in the back ref" when there's the slightest contact on any part of the body... sometimes when there's no contact at all. That's the one I hear most, anyways. "Foul throw ref" isn't too far behind it though...

This thread has to be a joke... come on lad even with those red glasses on... lol

Retorts, this one wasn't very witty but got the job done. Had a fiesty competitive U16s game today, clubs are close together so is a big rivalry. Not done a kids game for a while, been doing OA for a few weeks on the trot. 15 mins in and a player screamed at me "****ing hell ref make your mind...

After the game in the leagues I ref in too although sometimes they pay upfront. I don't mind. Only never got paid once and yes, as others said, reported it to league and few days later had a cheque from them. Heard the club got in big trouble for it too.

So hey guys. Haven't been around in a while... forgot about the site tbh. I know... how dare I. :D Anyway, had a bit of a stinker couple weeks ago. U21 match. Somehow both teams ended with 11 on the pitch although there was probably a case for 3, maybe 4 reds. Mind wasn't on the game at all...

I've had some real "gems". My county CARs do ins outs and offsides. Had one guy who would only go ten yards over the halfway line and would still raise his flag 40 yards behind the play. Loved that guy. On a more serious note, did have a gem a few weeks back. Never identified himself as a ref...

In a kids game I remember giving three penalties to one team in the second half. Was on the line at a game about three/four weeks ago two penalties to the same team within 3 minutes. Both clear-cut.

Correct, contact resulting in a foul would be a PK. If there's no contact but he is playing in a dangerous manner/endangering the safety of his opponent then an IDFK.

It's your responsibility to ensure the safety and welfare of all players on the pitch, if a player was out cold and so dazed he couldn't remember how he got to the match or how old he was, and the team refused to substitute him then I would be abandoning all day. I would think that after you...

Hahahaha the amount of times mates have tagged me in this video on Facebook ;)

I did it a few weeks back, heard a remark from blue player so blew immediately and sent him off. His goalkeeper had the ball in his hands in the penalty area at the time, and as soon as everyone asked what was happening I instinctively said drop ball. Realized my mistake immediately after saying...

Paul Dummett's suspension for the dismissal has been overturned.

If someone says to me "Are you blind ref? You're giving them everything, you're a bloody joker" and I was in a mischevious frame of mind, who says I couldn't give a yellow for dissent "Are you blind ref" and a second one for the "you're a joker" comment. Technically, two separate offences ;)

He didn't climb a perimeter fence at all, he walked up the steps leading down to the pitch. I agree with a caution, but it's not mandatory as per lotg.
