this sounds strangely identical to my game last weekend. A clip from defender to attacker, both straight up handbags effing and jeffing, chest together head together but no 'headbutt' from either. Both as bad as each other personally, temperature of the game heating up so I elect to bring both...

Good point I didn't think of it like that.

I think you've missed some of what I wrote to be honest. I said should the penalty decision have been outside the area it would have been a DOG SO, not in the area? However it was and there was a genuine attempt for the ball so no caution was needed. At no point was I surrounded by four...

Typically find women's football has a lot more foul throws, less about the feet more the arms. Law 18 common sense applies really, don't tend to find the first foul throw until it's a certain player. Obviously I can switch it up and just give every foul throw seen but often or not the game would...

Can those that commented recommend some decent trainers that might hold up, I've looked at trail runners before but not there they're what I'm after? The ones I looked at before were the adidas tracerocker gtx, I think these can be worn by referees as they were on refstore.

Just having a write up of my weekends matches. Saturday - Anglian Combination Div4S - mid table clash, arrived in good time, the home Club are an improved side apparently had a previous bad discipline record. Was a bit apprehensive as they had been on social media moaning about last weeks ref...

Hey all, our CFA have booked us with just a 10kg bag and a under seat bag for the plane. No checked baggage, is this gonna be enough - lol? appreciate its only 5 days but accumulated weight + boots. We are flying the Tuesday morning and returning Sunday evening, appreciate the help above I've...

Hey! I've somehow been accepted by my CFA to attend this, this year March 30-April 5th Just wondered if anyone else has done this and can tell me roughly what its like, what I'll need to bring with me etc? Thanks!

The answer I got when I asked was: For charges involving physical contact with a match official, the participant receives a suspension from all football activities for a period ranging between 182 days and two years. When determining the sanction, the disciplinary commission will take into...

Not to reactivate this thread but I heard from the FA Discipline team today. The case was heard and the charge found proven and the player has been suspended for 344 days and given a £175 fine.

Not sure if this is a dead thread but thought I'd chime in as had this with my EI. The league secretary asked for a copy, as his position and also as a fellow referee. My CFA were against it. but I did provide it. The league in question has been running in some form for over 125 years, and these...

this is really helpful, thanks Rusty.

many thanks, trying to find the answer out to that online was much more difficult than it needed to be. Hopefully he admits, would save us both a lot of issues but i wont hold my breath :facepalm:

Just thought I'd bump the post, the player has been charged today: Serious Case under E3.1 for Physical Contact against a Match Official. Does anyone know what happens next as the email just says I'll next get an update when the charge has been heard.

Thanks all, taking a break from the men's game till the new year to do more at assistant & womens game. On a positive note the player has been charged by the FA, thanks for the comments and advice, my support from other refs here and locally/CFA and RA has been outstanding

I think in future leaning on an early card to set a tone could help, not for every game admittedly but a hard affair like this could have done with it. Yes, the vice captain was the goalkeeper and actually the levell-est head on the field just a shame he was so far away to really impact his...

Well.. Just back from 3 weeks break, wanted a game so got assigned a local district game. From minute we kicked off, clear one team only interested in playing any actual football. You know when one team act like they get every decision against them? This was that game. Certainly didn't intend...

Yes, and OFFINABUS was met in this example.

I appreciate some of the views/comments on this, I think it's particularly helpful for others, not only me to go into future games. For context this has happened 15 games in this season, 20 including my 'first 5'. So I can see both sides of the argument here. So this league, NCYFL typically...

so this is what I said after the game to the coach. That the player has chosen to run past me, turn and say rather than run past and try win the ball back. If it doesnt have the swearing then I can argue for dissent or a strong warning, but because he's sworn at me it meets offinabus. Obviously...
