I have decided that I will always wear black. In my leagues, it's the only allowed colour anyway. I had a school team turn up in black once, i had to wear a bib as the schools league rules allow it.

Easy, join a league that uses CAR's

Most importantly, spend 10 minutes on your own after a game and analyse what went well and, more importantly, didn't go well. Doing this will help you seek advice and become a better referee. Last word, given to me by my trainer on my course, "Be Brave"

None at all for me yet, players are aware of the punishment and dissent has lessened.

I would welcome people's views on the above. As far as dissent is concerned, I don't us it at all. I tried when I first started refereeing, but found it made no difference. I now sanction dissent immediately, no one gets a chance to call me an 'idiot' and get away with it. No second chance, C2...

Out of interest is it:= C4 - Delaying the restart of play C5 - Failure to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, throw-in or free kick Never sure

I suppose it is all about tolerance levels. We all have our own idea of when dissent becomes OFFINABUS. I would only sin bin as there are no swear words in what was said.

Why wouldn't you??

I don't referee in leagues without AR's, causes far too much grief.

I always say "ask me again and I'll do you on a misconduct", that shuts them up.

I thought the Montenegro full-back should have been sent off for the head butt on Rashford. If Rashford had collapsed in a heap clutching his head, he would have been.

I have noticed a marked decrease in dissent, still too early to tell, but so far so good.

At the time, as per the o/p, I blew for offside, cue the blue team moaning big time, but they were like that anyway. It would certainly have been an easier 'sell' if I had brought play back for the original offence, but that was because the red team were much better behaved. That said, I still...

Don't ever touch anyone, just blow whistle and report it. U7's indeed!

Comments noted. My thinking was if I play advantage and a player kicks it straight to an opponent or kicks it off, bad luck, play on. I could not see the difference to him passing it to someone offside.

I was never in favour anyway, but listening to Mourinho yesterday moaning about the VAR decision on the penalty in the Liverpool v City game, he seems to forget that if he had not spent 10 years moaning about referees, we would not have VAR anyway.

1. Red v Blue. Red fouls blue, ball goes free, another blue player gets the loose ball, I shout "Advantage, play on" with appropriate signal. He knocks it, first time, forward to a blue forward who is offside. Take the offside IDFK to red, or come back to the original foul and give a DFK to...

Quite right, hopeless. I would like to see some clarification on this. If we can separate the tackle itself from the consequence, presumably they are saying that the consequence should never be a factor in the level of the sanction.

Its reported back to county via a player or spectator and you didn't report it. All I was doing was repeating what we were told in no uncertain terms at last night's RA meeting.
