Enjoy and don't **** up..... As others have said, your are there for 2 main reason - offside and ball in/out. Otherwise, it is 90 mins concentration. Don't think because play is at the other end of the FoP, you can switch off. No, you are the eyes behind the referees back and when the quick...

You need to ensure that the fact he refused to give his name is added to any reports. It is not your responsibility to find out their name, they are required to give it. The CFA may decide to add a further offence on for this. AND given we are now in the "points deduction" era for misconduct...

It would be interest hat grounds they have for an appeal - given the standard for "obvious" that is used for VAR decisions. An obvious error would be mistaken identity, but a reckless / dangerous foul and VC is judgment as is DOGSO; so they would find difficulty to prove on "he said/ they said"...

The advantage this season is that the CFA's have the power to deduct points for continuing misconduct. While there may be no sanction against the club, they may find them guilty - which starts the potential points deduction clock. Clubs are not going to get wise to this until it happens to them...

Agreed, the 2nd will result in a charge against the club rather than a player.

Your first 5-4 observation - don't take this the wrong way; but you are now with the Big Boys..... CFA assessment are there to develop you and promote you. at L4 you are in competition with other referees, so there is a standard expected by the players, club officials and the observers. Too...

Agreed, while an appeal is not a MCS; unless they were so silly claims, there should be reward in positioning/movement to get a credible view of them. The more difficulty to making the decision will be considered in application of law / selling the decision in match control. "One sided matches"...

Yes, it does get better :) First year to the step 5/6 league is always difficult, as the clubs don't know you. There is a lot in the "this referee focuses on..." which the clubs know about and will hinder your performance in their eyes. Also, as a newbie; you will tend to get "lower level"...

It is always the club which gets the fine and is responsible for paying it. As failure to pay on time results in the club being suspended by the CFA. Adult clubs will collect the fine from the player; junior clubs tend to have different rules.

I wouldn't even bother trying to estimate a score. The criteria are not fully encompassing of the game, and How do you weigh the different sections? I would just take the above and below tick boxes and identify what comments the MDC makes. I did one a couple of weeks ago, where it could have...

I would say, if you haven't got the funds by Tuesday then a gentle reminder. If then not paid buy the Thursday, refer the matter to the league committee. They do not want referees to suffer though slow payment. They will send a stronger reminder to the club (and the actual secretary, if he isn't...

Just doing the County based ones this season for this York based referees. Maybe back to Step5/6 next season, so the L4 can fear for their marks.... As you know 🤔

Up to the COVID changes, there were referees in the Yorkshire area would who had "come off games" due the observer... But, these referees were identified, given what looked like good matches (which they accepted), and the observer got appointed at 7.00 on the Friday night for the Saturday game...

I am surprised that somebody with our experience engaged with the players so quickly after the end of the match. Where I have had comments made, I simply thank them for their opinion and move on. When everybody has moved on, I may speak with the manager / a sensible person and say that the...

Did one yesterday - 30 mins to complete. But no cautions, barely any fouls, no major development points and one one minor development point. A step 7 game with CAR;s. Yes, a nothing game; but a more difficult game would have more to consider and write-about.

Took me 30 minutes to do the 5-4 report yesterday, no major development or KMI so relatively simple to do.

Did a match on Saturday, sent report (5-4) to RDO yesterday and it was approved and released last night.

Just did my first 5-4 observation yesterday. Report to write tomorrow, so I will let you know how long it takes. Did a 7-6 match day report a couple of weeks ago. Took me 15 mins at the most.
