Only 1 caution to be reported but could not get that far.

Has anyone managed to use this system for friendly games. I followed instructions from manual by selecting other competition and then friendly. When I typed in teams they could not be found even though they are on system. I can key in as if a league game which does work but is not correct as...

How helpful it would be for us at grass roots level if a similar clampdown was instigated in the Uk especially in the premier league. There decision to allow industrial language to be used towards referees needs reversing, as everyone seeing close ups on TV can lip read what is being said...

1.The kick off - player who is receiving pass stood in opponents half and or ball played sideways or backwards instead of forwards. 2.opponents moving to stand in front of ball to prevent quick free kick. 3. at penalties encroachment into penalty box frequently ignored.

bracelets, leather bands, rubber bands etc not permitted according to law 4 fifa guidance notes. I would therefore deem anything other than sweat bands on wrists to be a no-no.

why is Jack Grealish allowed to play with his socks only half way up his shins ?

Last season under 16 semi final. NAR's running line and he flags for an offside but defending team have possession and cross half way line. Team manager of original defending team starts shouting across the pitch about me missing offside flag and wanting free kick. I therefore blew up and gave...

I have had a few incidents when a player has tapped his opponent with his instep. sending offence would be violent conduct, but definition of violent is using physical force to hurt, damage or kill. As I deemed these to be petulant acts that would have been barely felt by the opponent I could...

I agree with you Beezer - I am in similar position to you with handballs causing me more grief than anything else over years. I had 1 coach telling me I missed 10 in 1 game earlier this season. I could have missed 2 but others totally unintentional or did not actually touch arm. I do not find...

Sorry SM problem with my laptop loading. I thought I was on newest post but was actually on oldest post.Did not realise date was 2011 untill after I hit post button.

I tend not to give penalties for these type of accidental handballs, but at the same time would penalise attacking player for it in penalty area if he inadvertently set up scoring opportunity. I had a game a couple of weeks ago when I penalised 2 probably unintentional handballs by attacking...

I have had exact same scenario you had. After ball hit post and came back towards corner taker I immediately thought I bet he doesn't know he can't touch it again. As soon as he controlled ball I blew and explained why. Nobody seemed to understand that this was foul. Eventually after much...

panic within penalty area. ball bounces and two defenders go for same ball, even though no attackers in vicinity. one tries to head it and other launches off ground and performs bicycle kick dangerously close to team mates head. If it had been opponent I would have penalised. I did not give...

I do have concerns with this system. I was contacted by league secretary of my league a couple of weeks ago as match report showed 2 red cards but only one suspension was in force. I was asked if I had submitted the second red card. WGS showed dismissal submitted but because 2 red cards were...

A couple of weeks ago I asked a player his name for a caution. He mumbled something incoherently so I asked him again and as both his names were a long unusual sounding name I politely asked him to spell his name for me. His reply was how do you think you spell it. I had to tell him I was not...

I would guess it relates to mark to be given to ref for his performance. Only thing is he is so out of touch he thinks ref's are still marked on a scale of 1-10 which they used to be until many seasons ago.

Every ref will get this from time to time - threats to report to league or county. Never actually happens in most cases as it entails sitting down and writing a letter which takes more time and intelligence than shouting something at the ref. I do know of a case when somebody did actually make a...

Is it not different in Scotland as opposed to England and Wales in showing more than one red card. I know it was a few years ago but Dean Windass was shown 3 red cards by the ref when playing for Aberdeen. At the time he would have only been shown 1 south of the border but with further...

My son came back from refereeing his game today. Defender passed ball back to goalie but ball may have been going into net for own goal, keeper dived to palm away .My son cautioned him and said only cautioned as ball may have been going wide and that he would have red carded if he was sure going...

Situation - attacker in an offside position a yard inside opponents half. Long ball played, a couple of attackers chase it. The attacker who was in the offside position is first to touch ball ten yards outside opponents penalty area. Should the free kick be taken from the position he was in when...
