It sounds very much like a game that would be classified 'not suitable for assessment' and therefore I can't see it counting. With a long time still to go in the assessment season I fully expect you to be assessed again

Definitely keeper has control. If you feel he has control with ONE finger then that's fine. I hope you cautioned a player or two for dissent.

Echo the points made above but I do the coin toss first as I have the skippers with me I ask them to call their players up for the minutes silence, saves me shouting at both teams and looks more respectful.

Had a number of nasty shoulder dislocations but the worst was over 10 years ago. Winger chased a long ball down and crossed on the slide, centre half blocked on the slide. The greasy surface meant both players kept sliding and into each other resulting in the winger breaking ti and fib in a...

I find that if I'm questioning anything it's not a good sign. I know and am expecting that sort of game on sat between first and second in my local premium division. I'll look to bung a couple of cautions in before the ten minute mark.

I thought I was fortunate that my game was on and it was a div 3 first v second both 100% going into the game. But after a decent first hour all hell broke loose and I ended up with 6 cautions and 2 reds, with a number of the yellows particularly stupid!

Wasn't a penalty as was outside the area. Attacking side was already 5 up with about 15 to play. But I'm sure somewhere in LOAF it mentions to play advantage at every possible opportunity or words to that effect

You tend to doubt, question or reflect on decisions regularly. It's all part of the self improvement package. The reason this one bugged me for longer is simply it's a situation that I've neither had myself or seen at all anywhere since that particular 'recommendation' came in. Even after nearly...

Had an interesting one in a game a few weeks back. Attacking side get away two on two. Defender brings down attacker who'd got 'wrong' side of him. I'm about to go free kick and dismissal when in my two second 'assessment' time the second attacker seizes onto the loose ball, rounds the keeper...
