I don't know if anyone watched this game last Friday (20th may) but it was the league 1 play off semi final between Milwall and Bradford. we'll ignore the result but I want to come to something that happened at the end of the game. When I have found the video link on a computer that I can find...

Some of what you are feeling is normal. It is ok to struggle for the first season that you do something, including being at a higher qualification of refereeing. If it is something that you enjoy doing but don't want it to take over your life, why don't you decide to only officiate twice a...

Thanks @Tealeaf !!!

I use Fox 40. Its' great and can be heard wherever I am. However, I struggle with changing the tone of the whistle. Any tips?

Well done! Had a penalty shout a couple of weeks back. A player went down injured but I wasn't sure if it was a pen due to watching some pushing that was going on. The coach said why not the pen so I said that hadn't seen it properly so can't give what you don't see. He said fair enough, smiled...

Think he did brilliantly to calm everyone down and keep 11v11 at the end of the game!

For me: 1) Foul throws 2) 'Niggley' tackles 3) 100% confidence in my decisions

Ok. Thanks guys! No I'm not great at searching @Kes ! I used the search thing but not using correct words along with a slow computer doesn't go well! I'll try and remember all of your guys advice for when is next needed. Thanks again!

Hi guys, looking for your advice again! I was looking for answers in previous threads but couldn't find any (correct me if I am wrong). As I am 17 I only really referee youth games however I have started to do open age women's games too. As I ref at a young age, cautions and dismissals are very...

Is it fair to say look at it this way, you would send off a player for calling you a cheat, why should a coach be any different? Especially as a youth Ref, I know that coaches think that they are above you as they are older, it can be very hard to manage. Sometimes you have to be stricter with...

As a young ref who had trouble with a coach two weeks ago, I know what he is going through! For me sometimes the complete lack of respect is what is hardest, not what he is saying. I'm sure we have all experienced coaches like this, we all know how hard it can be without the prior experience of it!

I'd do nothing. The GK has done his job in trying to get the ball and it sounds like there wasnt much that the attacker could have done in that space of time between kicking the ball and hiting the attacker. If anything it would be an IDFK to GKs team. If it was a penalty then the keeper would...

If you were facing me, my book is in front left, YC in front right, RC in back left. When doing double caution, I would take the yellow out with my right hand and show, whilst doing this, red out of back pocket with left (Velcro has nearly gone so this isn't hard!!!), show the cards when the...

Hahaha!!! Ok!

I referee in Dorset. Picture is Bradford as that is who I support. Was born in London moved around the place (never lived in Bradford) but all of my dads family lived there so I just followed on supporting them. Anyway, why is that relevant?!

I'm not trying to say that the consequence of an incident determines or should govern the correct procedure. I know this is an excuse we all use but, in my head I know what I mean. The challenge should always be the main deciding factor in what you next. However, if you are not sure what the...

Often the consequence of a tackle can tell you what restart and card colour if necessary. I stopped play at the weekend for an injury but oyuldnt decide drop ball or free kick. Wasnt much wrong with the tackle but could have easily given and sold ever decision. Saw he waw quite badly hurt, FK...

Its alright! Just seen!!!!

:confused: I'm hoping that you are joking! You know that you would have to caution every player from then after that does this too!! You are walking into a possible nightmare and should expect to be reported because by the sounds of it, it is deserved! :mad: :mad: :mad:

IF you are lookink for every opportunity to send someone off, you will loose concentration and probably miss a dismissable offence
