Last weekend I refereed a U15 game. All went very well and finished blue 12 red 2 (3-2 at ht). it was a very high tempo game but well contested and not too many fouls and nothing really to worry about. However a near incident has made me think about when it is right to use voice. About 10/15...

As soon as anyone calls you a cheat it should be goodbye but that is something you learn over time. Free kicks are another thing that I think you learn over time. Like others have said, try to make 1 stride 1 yard. It's helpful on a full size pitch because the centre spot is 10 yards from edge...

You haven't done anything wrong in your description. There isn't much you can do if you don't see an incident. If you know who it was you can talk to them and warn them but that's it. I remember being told a story about how a guy was reffing in the top league in adult mens in the county and...

Assistant referees are there to assist you. Part of my decision would be how confident was I that the CAR had had a good game and got the vast majority of the decisions correct. Also I would be considering what club he was from. If still not sure, go with instinct. Depending on where your...

Pretty sure you can (Spirit of the game) but report it afterwards.

Is a good idea but that approach could mean possibly every player who had taken part on a yellow card and the managers on warnings. It should work over time but too much could have a detrimental effect.

I was talking about in the Premier League then! I've had names a couple of times at open age level!

Contact the appointments officer (and RDO if necessary) and explain the situation. They may have forgotten! It wont look bad on you if you are careful in your word choice! Hope it gets sorted!

Good luck. Make sure that you assert your authority early and if you are worried about stuff escalating, crack down on it quickly and take no nonsense!

But they also have names on the backs of shirts. As long as you have written down all the names and numbers before hand, your ok!

I paid mine in Dorset. But I can understand why we have to do them because we are around potentially vulnerable children and young people. We may not be in direct contact in them but as part of our role we are meant to keep the players safe while on the FOP. @Charlie Jones is right in his...

Good luck! why haven't you been reffing?

Maybe a bit too lenient but he stopped so doesn't matter. I normally go for 2 warnings with dissent (depending on the amount and what the player is saying). Stop arguing please... Get the captain over - calm the player down and say that he is on final warning. Yellow card. If he is already on a...

Don't be put off by comments from parents or coaches. You wouldn't be refereeing if you hadn't passed the course... You will be fine! Be confident, have clear instructions and enjoy it!! Good luck! :)

Added time is something that can divide opinion as normally one team wants the game to be over and the other wants to keep going. Sounds like you were right. As long as you are confident in what you say and in your knowledge of what you have done you can leave what the observer said. I agree...

Oops sorry @PinnerPaul

In law 12...

In Law 12 - Fouls and misconduct section, it says, "A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that it is not dangerous to an opponent". Did the attacker know that the defender was there? Was it a clear attempt to try and get the ball? Was it dangerous?

Sounds like you did well! Has anyone else heard/does this..... In a mass confrontation as stuff is going on, take a step back for safety, watch what is going on, and write down the numbers of those invloved who you know are going to be cautionned/dismissed. It sounds like a decent way of...
