    Open Age Game Today - Tough

    Who, when and what. That's all the FA want now. They used to want to know where you were, where the incident took place etc. Keep the report brief as there is now no right of appeal. It'll soon be like doing the caution forms.

    I'm already on my third league weekend of the season. Game 5 today.

    Europe this season. You can only referee what's in front of you. Enjoy

    New season incoming

    I'll put my hands up and admit to not knowing much about the Welsh leagues. Is your game part of the national system or local league? The only team over there I vaguely keep an eye on is Airbus. Managed by former Worcester City player and manager and neighbour of mine, Andy Preece. Oh and he...

    Vanarama Conference North/South/Prem

    I used to go home and away until I started refereeing but haven't got to a game for a couple of years. We're up at Harriers now as we have no ground and no ground on the horizon. Unfortunately City won't have much of a team as long as we're playing up the road as the income is seriously limited...

    Hi Everyone!

    The only advise I'd give on this is to try when and only when you are ready, and aim to have a colleague with you. Balancing refereeing with life doesn't get easier, wife, 3 teenagers and animals, just remember that for all but a few it's a hobby that puts a bit of cash in your pocket.

    RA/FA scheme

    Before you start looking you'll need your RA-FA number, 5 digits, not your NPD or FAN or whatever it's called now number. It's well worth joining. We have a couple of our "better off" refs collect the points then donate a kit as a prize or pass one on to a ref who's short of money for whatever...

    Different coloured shorts/socks...

    Depending on how your league views the laws really. I know of one league that as long as the shirts are the same colour, Liverpool and Man Utd on same pitch playing together, that's ok. It means that the guys are playing football. I know of another that insist on correct under garments. Much...

    Hi Everyone!

    Welcome. Are you going to jump into open age or stay with the youth game for a while?

    Oh god, I'm agreeing with Padfoot again. I think that individual CFAs set their own targets. Football development and Referee development are obviously in competition for funds.

    How much to spend will depend partly on how much you've got to spend and what you want it for. Unless you are planning to live in the shirt pretty much any under shirt will work to keep your kit off of your back. UA have a huge range of gear depending on the weather etc.

    Shielding he ball out for a goal kick

    Hate it personally. I'd quite happily allow the striker to wipe out the defender but obviously can't let that happen. As a rule of thumb I'm pretty much ok with upper body contact in this scenario but as soon as the striker gets his feet involved then blow for the FK. Obviously upper body...

    I have received all paperwork before BRC

    As far as I'm aware the misconduct forms are still in operation. The FA has a few technical issues with most of its computerised systems. I wouldn't worry too much. Concentrate on the Laws of the Game and remembering your own name!!!

    I had 23 and 2 dogs at my game.. Not sure that I can count the combine driver who was working in the field next to us as he only saw a few minutes.:)
