For what it's worth if it's in the penalty area and it's a foul i'm blowing for a penalty all day, no matter where the ball ends up after the foul. If the team getting the penalty then moan i didn't play advantage i'll take that on the chin rather than having a team moan that the opposition...

i never got anything like a whistle or cards off my course! where they free?

and i'll be honest... i didn't caution him... sorry folks

he was running towards goal for a 1 on 1with the keeper but the opponent who made the noise was faster and catching him up from behind which is why i didnt understand why he done it. another two steps and he wins the ball

thanks for that... now on the course i took the tutor told the group the winner of the toss gets Kick off... "dont allow them to choose its just the winner gets the ball" which as you point out is incorrect. im going for home team chooses heads or tails, i flip coin, winner chooses end... the...

Can anyone tell me if I was right or wrong to do this... A lad goes to take a shot from about 20-22 yards and as he does a defending player who is behind him makes a farting noise with his mouth really loud in his ear. the shot goes nowhere so I blow for an indirect free kick. both teams...

who actually gets the toss? I have just been asking the home team to choose head or tail for KO. but can anyone properly explain?

there is a team in that tournament who offers trials for 6 weeks to kids.... disgraceful for a grassroots team of age 7 etc. anyway, the report says submitted on WGS. Does that get updated when the investigation by the CFA etc is complete? i've never done one before.

Thanks for the feedback, i really wasn't expecting it all to be positive. I submitted the report tonight so let's see what comes of it, if anything. As i've never used the WGS before I just out it all on one report. i noticed some people mentioned catagories etc but I couldnt find these so i...

This is the first incident I have had in my short referee career. Let me also add that it hasnt put me off refereeing one bit. so, under 8's (remember that at the end), cup semi final in a local summer league. All the way through the game the blue team manager appeals for everything. he...

I've been fortunate enough that in the 9 games that I have reffed so far I havent needed to issue one card... Not one

ok thanks

at the risk of sounding stupid... when i enter my details where do i click to sign up? i have entered my details but theres no buttons etc underneath! im on an ipad if that makes a difference

thanks for all the feedback lads. funny thing is this morning i reffed a trialist match for st helens town. foul about 30 yards out, player screaming "ref thats a foul" ball ends up at feet of attacker so i shout advantage he then crosses and the forward heads in. im sure it wont be the last...

Tonight I reffed the final game of my 6 games.... and i made the first big mistake i think i've made. At 0-0 blue gets fouled on edge of penalty area, clear foul, i blow sharply for a free kick in an excellent position... as i blow ball breaks through to blue forward who buries it.... held my...

im struggling with this! can anyone help? it just wont let me sign up!

Quite hard to get hold of the casio RFT-100 though. Any idea where does them for a decent price? I currently use a cheapish (£20) vibrating alarm on my left hand counting down and an even cheaper (£10) watch on my right hand counting up. Seen as im also new to refereeing these do the trick for now

thanks yorkieref i didnt think of the safeguarding! Again thanks hullref i'll try to be consistant with it! Hopefully i'll have as much fun as the kids!

I done my course over easter too so i'm in the same predicament. What is the SCW yorkieref? I have managed to get on to a junior summer league (7v7) so although these games don't count towards my 5 games in 5 months it will get me used to being in the middle, people looking at me, parents...

thanks mate. i will drop them an email tomorrow
