Afternoon all. Consulted the LOTG, but still struggling. Incident today where a long ball is played over the defence. Goalkeeper hesitates. Closed down by the attacker. Goalkeeper is positioned just inside his box almost in line with the corner flag so it’s deep. Then as he panicks he picks the...

Evening all. Advice sought please. During my game this afternoon I suffered my very first muscle pull. I’ve managed 34 years on this planet without one, but today my calf finally pinged in the 60th minute. (This was a low level vets game). Have to say. Both sets of players were great...

Evening all. I enlisted in the 7-6 pathway this year which requires 25 middles (min 10 in adult) and 5 AR’s. After 8 appointments so far, I’ve started to get the feeling that it feels like a lot for my adult life commitments to complete 30 games in a single season. Can anyone advise if...

Evening all, Be gentle - im new to this place and refereeing, and i'll keep it brief. Scenario: Defending team captain is shielding the ball in his own box. Attacking player comes in from behind and attempts to play the ball. Doesn't get it, defender goes down - clear foul in my opinoin and no...
