Phew where to start.... I officiated a fixture yesterday in the U14 League 1 division of the local combined youth league This game was fraught with issues, specifically on the home side. The game was largely unremarkable, apart from a sin-bin for Player 6 in the first half of the game. Time...

thanks all, i'll use some of these suggestions on my matches this weekend and report back.

Hi all, just after a general consensus. I was at a game on Saturday and there was another fixture in a different league at the club. This ref got their team sheet a little earlier and put all the names on his cards/book so he doesn't necessarily have to ask for names if handing out cards. For...

I've listed this as open age but really applies to anything, I've done Vets, Open Age Men and Women and Youth games. This weekend I've done an academy U15 game for Norwich City. Brilliant football, facilities absolutely unreal but the moaning. Players after the game "where do we get these refs...

I thought I would do a roundup of my first five games. I attended my course at the FDC, Norfolk FA on the 29th June. Given it was close-season it certainly felt like ages to get the 'first 5' done and dusted. What I wish I'd realised was learning a little more, as now I am into a full season I...

Hi, My first post so hopefully I've done this correctly. I passed start of August, did my first 5 games at a variety of ages in pre-season and now find myself as a L7 on 7-6. Quick query about kits, I love a matching Nike kit. Not really a fan of anything else, the same as most buying the kits...
