A player is not in an offside position if level with the: second-last opponent or last two opponents

Had a similar scenario to the first before Xmas. A player jumped to his feet and screamed at me less than an arm's length away, directly in my face, in a foreign language after I stopped play. It was not a nice experience. I cautioned for dissent. If that happened again I would be reaching for...

Something similar in my game this weekend gone. Defender gives away a stonewall penalty, careless at most. Pull the defender aside for a little word and to pull him away from the situation. As he walks outside the box away from everyone else he pulls his shirt off and throws it on the floor. I...

I've got my first senior line this weekend. Have only done a couple of lines myself so am a little bit nervous. Do I need to do anything differently? What is expected of me? How do I handle being within touching distance of the coaches and subs?

I've seen a few of these and thought I'd post my thoughts on my first game yesterday. I arrived 45 minutes before the game was to start and found all 3 pitches at the venue were in use. I checked the board at the clubhouse and noted which pitch I would be on. Having met the home team manager he...
