Were you using subbuteo goals???;)

I honestly don't see how a lone referee can ever give an offside call. Locally we allow CARs to "help" but maintain the final say. If the players are even trying it on arguing about throws that is all they are doing. They've clocked that you are new and are deliberately putting pressure on you...

It's listed as Turbo Green. If it's not black, yellow or grey.

It's already been said but the higher you go the easier to manage the game is. At the bottom they want everything until you give everything then they moan because you keep blowing. If you have one player in particular that's the moaner, get the captain on board and offer a caution if he doesn't...

Anyone who thinks Worcester City are mighty has no right to an opinion. And I have no opinion on the matter other than to say it's a cracking kit.

Family, Work, Football. In that order. At some point we all move football up the list but someone always gets hurt. Old man advise coming up. When you have a job it's easier to find a job than if you don't have one. Stick with what you have and look for something that suits your life needs.

Glad you got through OK. Did you have time to enjoy it or did it all rush by a bit quick?

L4 referee = £34 per game so you need 20 games per month to pay for your room and a sandwich. You need a couple of decent seasons and a good one to get to L4. Then you're going to have to please everyone to get yourself to L3. Sorry mate refereeing is a decent way of keeping fit, staying...

Hi James. I presume that Jeff has been on the phone. Personally I'd like to see you do at least til Christmas doing U 15 and 16 games with a few OA lines. Unfortunately with your stature you'll have to work hard to have a certain presence on the field. The best way to manage that would be a...

Bag packed, shirt ironed, shoes shined. Showered, shaved, I'm sure I've forgotten something....

Honesty. I've seen so many young refs come onto open age that obviously aren't ready but their mates have done it so they have to. Far better to serve an apprenticeship on youth games and on lines to more experienced guys and work with your appointments secretary and make the step when and only...

Big time Charlies!!! I'll take Worcester City not going bankrupt and the possibility of their own ground again.

They may be so short of officials on their leagues they don't want to lose any to the WMRL. Locally we are encouraging our younger guys to try a line or two a month to get a feel for open age without having to jump in single handed. The added benefit is the networking that's going on with the...

Watch your referee. If he's looking at you he probably wants your input. Try to keep the ref in view so that you don't have to hunt for him when a decision needs making. Most important though, enjoy yourself.

Probably not though you were probably correct.:)

Can't imagine why your CFA would prevent you from officiating on the WMRL unless you are doing youth games currently and they are short of cover.

Ideally if both players run into each other and get up then no foul. But in a high tempo game you need to make a decision. 100% bs but you can't take the risk that the players will set about each other

Wish I'd started younger. I didn't get into refereeing until my mid 30's.

This pains me but I'm with Padfoot here. If a player clips another players ankles unintentionally he's guilty of being careless. So DFK

I've got my first West Mids game this weekend too. I went through the Midland Combination route but at L4 we get to do what is now the Midland Football League Prem and 1, formerly MFA and Mid comb prem, and the West Mids prem. I've been led to believe that the West Mids is more physical than...
