IMO at U12 age group players should and mostly do know what is or isn't a foul, if not that is down to their manager, so i would be no more lenient than OA football. Last season at a tournament an U9 player was fouled then stood up and went to thump player in face missing him by millimetres, now...

Foul outside the box and he kept going..... i would have given him the advantage.... fouled then again inside the box for me most definately a penalty..... would not have brought it back for first foul.....

Sleep? mmmm i wish... Like my mum used to say "plenty of time to sleep when you're dead" (morbid or what)

Well both games postponed this weekend to flooded pitches, and i wake up this Sunday morning to clear blue skies, the sun is shining albeit a tad on the chilly side...... where is the justice? beautiful day for football and i'm sat here watching Zootropolis with my little boy (don't mind that...

He fell on his fist... looking for a penalty....

Now had confirmation, booked on Mentor course on the 22nd February.......... Such fun.

I'm getting a right mixture now haven't a clue what MET office is doing apparently Saturday heavy rain and Sunday FOG......

Now have a game on Saturday and Sunday...... But snow is forecast so not holding my breath ....... Both games confirmed as on, subject to pitch inspection with this cold i will be wearing skates not boots :-) Should have known better : Travelled some 11 miles on winding country roads in the...

Working now have managed to logon............

One league i ref in don't give team sheets so i have to ask for names(comes in handy if you have to go to a disciplinary), another league i ref in i get team sheets and i ask both managers to make sure names and numbers correspond so if i do have to red or yellow a player i just write down the...

I use these ref pads, can't use wipe ones no room for players names, and too fiddly Get them from A & H hence the "sample" writing on them as i downloaded image from their site. Also room on other side for match details..

If a player receives treatment he should leave the field of play ( except the goalkeeper) and wait to be allowed on..... Last year i had a player receive a head injury, he received treatment on the pitch and i told him to leave the field of play as he had received treatment...... also i can then...

WGS still playing up just tried to logon but won't let me in...............

Yup ! me too tried 3-4 times and wouldn't let me login so left it for an hour, then logged straight in..... think its something to do with Donald Trump...

Today's game quite eventful.... pitch soft in places but playable, first half uneventful good football being played and home side go into the break 1-0 up thanks to an own goal. Second half more dramatic, ball went off to what i thought was a corner and linesman flagging it was goal kick he was...

I have a pair of black woollen fingerless gloves which keeps my hands nice and warm when temperatures in the minus, even had a few players say they were going to get some..... Looking out my window now, everything is frosted must be about -2, but my game not till 2 pm so should warm up.......

Saturday and Sunday(3G pitch anyway) games are on but looks like it's going to be a jolly cold two games, better than the rain might take a "cup a soup" and a kettle along and have a brew up at half time.

At 61 fitness is a bonus for me, however i keep active, do lots of walking but most important position myself on the field of play so i do less running, after a few minutes you know the strongest team very rarely do they lose the ball and once they start passing it about you get to know where to...

Oh dear !
