Attacker through on goal yesterday and goes around the GK who trips him inside the penalty area , clear penalty which I duly awarded. I notice a defender between the goal and the attacker so not an obvious goalscoring opportunity in my eyes as the defender could of intervened at some point which...

Thanks McTavish . I haven't encountered any back passes as yet but I would like to implement the ruling for them as the kids at some point have to come to terms with all the Laws involved. Some coaches are not keen on their players getting pulled up for foul throws but like I said at some point...

I referee my lads U10'S home fixtures which is how I got involved into refereeing. Now more recently I have pulled up both teams for foul throws and given the player the benefit of the doubt and allowed a retake but if they foul throw again I pass in on to the opposition. I am now looking at...

Cheers guys , I knew you would provide the answers :-).

Cheers deusex , learning more every day :-)

This might sound like a daft question so apologies if it does. A player commits a straight Red card offence and you issue the Red card at once but how do you go about getting the players name ? (i told you it was a daft question). You see it on games especially TV games all the time where a...

The only concern is that he is quite vocal when he is on the touchline and isn't shy at saying what he feels. Yesterday he was appealing for decisions like I knew he would but if it had got to the stage where he was abusive I would of had a quiet word. To be fair to the rest of the team who have...

Teams only exchange team sheets in the Saturday leagues here I believe and only in county cup fixtures on a Sunday . It would certainly make life easier and the sooner it is implemented the better. Just a quick update on yesterdays game. All went very well and the suspended player (who was...

My initial reaction was not offside for the reason it wasnt deliberately played forward but the commentator and the summariser didn't make a fuss about it and just agreed it was offside.

There was an offside call in last nights Carling Cup game between Tottenham & Sheff United where a Sheff United player cleared the ball and it rebounded forward off a Tottenham player to another Tottenham player who was stood offside and flagged offside by the Assistant Referee , my thinking was...

Thanks for the positive feedback. With me a newly qualified referee I didn't want anyone (local refs / ras etc) assuming I postponed the game too hastily bearing in mind the other two fixtures opposite went ahead. One other referee did walk onto the side of the pitch say 2/3 yards in and was...

I called off my game yesterday because I believed the pitch was unplayable due to frost but referees allowed two more games to go ahead on pitches opposite and the conditions where the same. I went home thinking I acted a bit hastily in calling it off especially that two games opposite the...

No unfortunately we don't have team sheets , just receive the names of any substitutes which cod be anyone in all honesty. SM he shouldn't be allowed onto a football pitch again in my opinion , he is a nasty piece of work and won't be bothered about the fact he is banned and if he wants to play...

I am refereeing a game on the 25th Jan and I know a player who plays for one of the teams and he is currently serving a 5 match ban and he will be unavailable. Now the type of person he is and the team he plays for he will no doubt in my mind attempt to play. I have spoken with my local RAS...

Thanks for the feedback. I did feel my mentor was a little picky on the signalling and I will continue to use the same signals I do every week. Will be my 4th game this Sunday and I am definitely enjoying it , not made any major errors so far but I know one may not be to far away (hopefully not...

Thanks ASM , I did feel the signally I was using was okay but he felt using one or two fingers was the right way. I am sure everyone does it differently and as long as the signals are clear that is the main thing.

I have recently refereed my 4th fixture in Hull Sunday League. My appointed Mentor was with me on my recent fixture and he gave me the low down on my overall performance. Apart from the odd little niggle such as positioning etc all is going well. One thing he did say was get into the habit of...

So if I blow for an attacker offside and his centre half team mate calls me a useless so and so ( without using abusive language ) I can award an IDFK to the opposition say just outside his box where the centre half was stood ?

Can you give a free kick for Dissent ?.

Thanks Dan - I assumed that was the case to be honest and I will implement this in future if it occurs again.
