Hi all, I did a game last Saturday and had 5 cards (3 yc / 2 rc) and I submitted my reports on Sunday. I am 100% positive I did this. I went to check something for a good friend who asked me about it and when I checked, it has disappeared. Now previously I have suffered with anxiety and this...

I appreciate your willingness to improve. But can you tell me, in law, how you justify the caution to the captain given the fact he may not have actually been able to tell you who did it? I too am looking to improve all the time

In that case, you can not caution him. Simple.

So what you're saying is, that because he is the captain he should receive the punishment when you can't identify who did it? That doesn't seem fair. You said that you gave him the chance to identify the offender and he refused. Is it not possible that he really didn't know who did it and...

Exactly. ONE of them said it. But you have picked out this player out of the three based purely on his attitude during the game. That is wrong, totally wrong. To say he had it coming is also a poor phrase to use in order to justify this caution

I wouldn't have booked anyone based on what you have described. If you can't identify the offender, you shouldn't caution or dismiss anyone IMO. Just because he has been a pain from the ko, doesn't mean he should be blamed for something he may not have actually done.

Hi guys, I was AR on a friendly last night and the blue defender tried to hook the ball away but ended up kicking it straight up into the air and the goalkeeper catches the ball. The yellows were screaming (literally) for a backpass but the referee said "no" immediately. Just wanted to clarify...

Thanks pal. Although, I have been refereeing since 2013 and reffed regularly every season since. I just have started looking upwards since I finished university

Ok. Thanks for the reply RustyRef 👍 Another question. Would me not having my own transport have any major negative effects on me officiating at that level?

Hi guys, Hope you are all having a good pre season. Just wanted to check what is the highest league I can officiate on as an assistant. I am a L7 so can I join the Eastern Counties League for example? Thanks in advance, Jack

I think with the local district competition, the home team has to organise the referee. I share the duties with another member of staff. I reffed the game, only difference was no offsides. All went well, and it was easy because I knew the other school as I had worked there previously

The school I work at hasn't finished and I am led to believe that this may be a final

I checked the ESFA website. The competition doesn't appear on there. (Although I could just be a moron who can't see it)

I don't think it is a county game. As far as I'm away it is a local school district competition

Hi all, I work at a secondary school in PE and I tend to ref a few of the home fixtures. One I have been asked to ref on Thursday is a Year 9 (Under 14s) girls 7-a-side game. My question is, is this mini-soccer rules or normal lotg? Thanks in advance gents

He got booked for dissent during the game. He then went up to the referee after the final whistle and talked himself into a second yellow

First middle back after almost a year. Confidemce was shot and saw out the season with youth and from November I was doing lines before going back to middles. Clarets 1-4 Green and black Home team 3rd from bottom and away team bottom with 1 point all season. Good game between teams who, for...

But we both signalled for the same direction??

No I did not tell him. I just told the player to shut up and go away

I was a NAR on this game
