Second this, had me questioning my own knowledge of the game for a while, only helpful for clueless people to talk about something they found out in the pub

For someone with sod-all money to spend on sheets of paper, can you link me to these? Only one I can find is Kill the Referee (which I've seen about 6 times now!)

Congratulations Charlie!

Yep it was said when I did the course with GRA never start a game without them!

LOTG guidelines for referees stance: "In view of the new technology that has made sports spectacles much safer, both for the wearer and for other players, referees should show tolerance when authorising their use, particularly for younger players." Quite what constitutes "sports spectacles"...

Cheers for the suggestions SM. I have a big tub of Optimum whey protein bought for £25 off Amazon in the cupboards taking up space, might get properly started with that!

So I realised I'm having a variety of different options for food and drink before and during my games, really not sure if they're productive to performance at all so was wondering what you guys have for your games. A lot of my games I travel to small locations by train, which involves a train...

Good luck Charlie!

Should have been a retake. Just means you won't forget/brain fart again! Related to this issue, I booked a player for unsporting behaviour a while ago. As the ball was being passed to him from a goal kick it was apparent that an attacker was hot on his tail. Defender ran towards the penalty area...

Blatant match fixing!

What were ITV commentators saying about this? Bet that Townsend came out with another gem...

How did he score his three goals?

Sub comes on for Reds, I'm admittedly paying little attention, winding down at the end of a good game, thinking of the Nandos I was getting soon with my match fee and let him come on after noting his number. Ball is played to him from a goal kick and I notice he is wearing a pair of what I'd...

Officially not allowed to watch football with my pals any more after my annoying critique of Miroslav Zelinka's performance during Scotland v Georgia. I'm certain there's a referee with almost the exact same name on the FIFA video games...

Same every game up here, it's probably better as players get used to it and give you a bit of sympathy!

Bit late, but I wish my da' had been as cool as to create such a scheme. Great work and congratulations :)

Agree with you but there's probably going to be another person out there capable of doing the game. Insisting to cancel a game is just plain rude and if the roles were reversed this secretary person would probably get a bit uptight himself

If it's two teams I'm unfamiliar with, I just do my best do just show I care about their game and based on what I've seen it is appreciated. Arrive an hour/hour and a half early, dress smart, make sure my headphones are out when they see me, get a gauge out and check all the home team's...

Why don't you ask the fella how he would react if you told him you'd been promoted and so the games that come with that should take priority over his county cup? He's being a total ignoramus if you ask me. No matter what in life, you don't cancel on people you've had arrangements with for...

From only admittedly second-hand advice, I'd deal with getting the player off straight away. Otherwise you leave room for a mass confrontation which is in my opinion the biggest thing I could do without in a game due to a distinct wee man status.
