The officials have been announced for SG2. http://you-are-the-ref.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/SG2-Lists.pdf

Was you not tempted to battle it through to the end of the season and then have a good 3 months off?

I'm expecting some supply league games to come in May as well as 2-3 middles for the supply leagues non-marking divisions but that's about it. Only got one Sunday league game left.

For CAR's I'd recommend something along the lines of the £8 flags from Sports Direct.

It's harsh, yes.

At county level you encounter more poorly written reports that don't reflect the mark. They get better as you go up.

Well for me that's a reason not to use the whistle to communicate an obvious goal. In England players do not expect the whistle for an obvious goal. If you're blowing your whistle for an obvious goal then they're going to be double checking you aren't giving a foul. If I'm disallowing a goal...

The only reason we are having an EU referendum is due to the rise of parties such as UKIP. UKIP became more popular and the Tory's moved to gain some of their votes by promising a referendum.

I think it's a great tool if there's a slight deflection but as stated, overuse. When there's the slightest of deflections a quick blow of the whistle and signal is very convincing to the players. If they all start walking away for a goal kick and you're stood there stubbornly pointing for a...

Same as with the ball been in/out of play decision that are tight whether that be a throw-in, corner or goal kick, I'll use my whistle if there's a potential for play to continue unaware. If every man and his dogs knows it's crossed the line, whether that be for a throw-in or a goal, there's...

The only issue I see with getting hooked on the occasion is IF you make a mistake because you'll overthink it during the game and miss the next big decision. I always find my best games seem to be the bigger games which is probably a happy coincidence or maybe the occasion makes me up my game. I...

That one irritates me. Just because the hand is touching his back, does not mean whatsoever that any sort of force is been applied against the player in front of him. Literally, the slightest of a raised hand and you hear "in the back ref".

That's how it is in my local junior league. One side parents. One side coaches and subs.

Bet he let the referee get his pre-match out though...

You have to break it down and calculate it. The first and third sections read as standard so they'll be given a mark of 7.5 more than likely. Whilst there is a positive mentioned in the 2nd section, the last line has knocked it down from a 7.5 to a 7. Now, admittedly I'm not assessor and not...

Given that the discussion with the spectator is only mentioned in the additional comments and not in the three sections, I would assumed it isn't reflective of the mark, or at least, it shouldn't be. As far as I am aware if it is affecting the mark then it should be in one of the three sections...

I always think you put up with some **** during the season and it all becomes worth it when you get your finals, even if it's league, district or county.

Adidas Copa Mundial's for me too.

If I'm not mistaken the timeframe is 3 days, so if he's said it may be late and 4 days has passed I really would not worry.
