do the silence first, gets it out the way then you can ask the captains to step forward after

Its all down to you and how far you want to push yourself, I would give yourself a year in OA football before going for promotion just to give you a bit of experience in the age group and the different challenges you can face.

Every time for me. Football can be a nice game and I wont have any of my games turned into a free-for-all slanging match. The other week I had a player run past me and say "Your s*** ref." I stopped the game even though the opposition team were on for a promising counter attack called the...

I couldn't have said it any better.

I did infact get away with it. I was however questioned on the restart after offinabus as I stopped a counter attack.

Do you not think it was denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity Southend?

I had a drop ball in my game today the first one was kicked while in mid aid and the same for the second by the same player. I decided I would give a freekick to the opposition am I allowed to do this?

First time viewing what would you have given tho??

For me the referee got it spot on, while I agree with the covering defender the attacking player ws in the middle of taking his shot and therefore DOGSO.

Hi Evan, You are well within your rights to dismiss the manager from the technical area for offensive, insulting and abusive language. Will the manager be on his own or will he have a meic with him? If he is the only person and you have do dismiss him tell him that if he had a medic then he...

I was under the impression that you should caution the player for removing the shirt due to causing offence in certain middle eastern countries regardless if it was in a goal celebration or not.

Hi Craig, Firstly welcome to Refchat I hope you enjoy your time here. You sound a lot like me last season, I started off not being very confident etc. One thing I can suggest which helped me significantly to be more vocal was saying things like red corner, yellow throw whilst doing the arm...

BES I would have handled the situation in exactly the same way although you have an idea of who it is you cannot be certain then no disciplinary action can be taken. A word with both captains would be appropriate mentioning that offensive insulting and abusive language will not be tolerated if...

Hi Luke, I'm glad your enjoying your games so far, and don't worry about getting hit by the ball it happens sooner or later. Equipment check - You are correct in asking to remove items that do not conform to the LOTG, if you don't ask players to show you the boots how are you going to check...

Leicester was £35

Glad you enjoyed it and good luck with the rest of your season :)

I would highly recommend getting one I can squeeze 3 sets (2 officiating 1 random) into it keeps your kit dry and clean and doesn't take up too much space

I forgot to ask have you had the teams before? If you have they get to know what your like and the tolerance levels that you have. I had a game last Sunday 2 teams I had the honor of reffing last season, both fairly decent (considering its sunday football) but one of the defenders of a team was...

Hi Craig, Im assuming its your first middle of the year. The best thing I can suggest to you is to use the captains, tell them that you expect them to control the players before you do as they know them better. Sometimes you have to just use the cards and dont be afraid to do so. Dave

sweet. I wanna see them now!! damn the 2 week wait :(
