What the old man said above ;)

If you bang the next two as above average and overall you have a good reputation with the league and county FA (admin; admin and again admin) then you are good to go. Back when I was doing it, 2 out of 3 was the norm.

@one great minds think alike!

Yeah a misunderstanding on my part; I originally understood that he was fouled as part of play while he was running and ended up outside the FoP which to me meant that he never left the FoP to start with.

Yeah I misunderstood, a tough sell obviously but should have been cautioned. Take your pick in terms of how you want to classify it. I originally understood that he was fouled as part of play while he was running and ended up outside the FoP which to me meant that he never left the FoP to start...

Playing the devil’s advocate on this one. Now while I agree, him hopping back onto the field was purely tactical as he was instructed by the benches. Can I ask what will you caution him for? Leaving/entering fop? If I understood it correctly, him leaving the fop and getting injured in the...

I’ll be mindful of that if I’m honest, each to their own of course. While i know it can be very very hard not to come into a match with pre-determined mind set, you don’t want to start off the match by a telling off! If you believe you must, use general comments rather than specific...

No, don’t fall into that trap! There is nothing in the laws about intent! Solely the use of excessive force or brutality. BecUse while you might guess the intent, you can’t and are not expected to judge intent!

I would argue not! Picture this outside the area, if it makes it easier? Attacker has no chance of getting the ball defender’s mate rushing to hoof it, the defender nudges the player in the back toward his teammate; what’s your call? Still a foul and YC for that sly push in the back as it was...

@bendan, take this as a personal advice. If you are a referee, that you drop this conspiracy theory. I know that might be a bit hard when it’s the team you are supporting, but as referees we are supposedly neutral judges and likewise so are the FA to a great degree. Yes we might disagree and...

Mate if the game has been already rescheduled as you say that means that the FA are involved. As the decision to reschedule and appoint referees is carried out by the FA solely and not the counties, the leagues or the home club for the matter.

No no no! Not biased, but mindful and aware of the expectations at this level, at the place you are in. In simple terms, you are there to facilitate a game of football to supposedly more advanced players. You are expected and in fact asked to apply the LOTG, but use common sense and loads of it.

Eh what did you say young man!??:D:D

Firstly welcome to the gang! And congrats on getting the first match under your belt. Always a tough one, never mind a doing an OA for your first ever game. So well done. As for the aerial challenges, what I found to be really helpful is to get a side view where the action will be. Try to get...

Absolutely loved the game yesterday! MUFC vs Everton U17 supposedly a friendly circa 300ppl came to watch! Can i have more of the same pls :D:D

Only 2 this month for me and 3 on the line... I need to burn off the extra kg’s I put on during my holidays

3rd game in a row (almost, had Monday off)! My calves are throbbing with pain already! But I’m loving it

Back to action for me this weekend. Middle tomorrow and on the line on Sunday.

Apple and berry picking from the in-laws cottage with the little one then 7.5k run in the forrest and back go civilisation in time for prem kick offs.

Welcome to the madhouse!
