Due to a waterlogged pitch my game this weekend was postponed, luckily I got reappointed to a different game. It was a pretty even affair although there was the need for a dismissal mid way through the second half for stamping. The chap apologised to the player, the manager etc so no issues...

A game of two halves yesterday, Away side 3-1 up at half time and clearly dominating but Home side grew into second half and got it back to 4-3 The home team were on top and got an equaliser, goal kick from away GK got to half way line and immediately headed back. Home striker runs onto it and...

My sunday fixture has been called off and have been suitably notified. My Saturday fixture hasn't been called off formally but I do know informally that all fixtures at the ground are off I have sent a text and emailed the home team manager for confirmation but no response as yet, but its only...

During a match yesterday between yellows & blues, there was a bit of jostling and I saw a blue player strike a yellow player with his elbow in the blue team penalty area, the ball was outside of the penalty area. The yellow player retaliated by tripping the blue player as he ran away I blew...

Not doubting the red and feel yellow was right too But as I'm being picky, is it inconsistent to give a yellow for swearing then a red or as above should it be taken in context

I'm not doubting the cards I feel both were correct was I unjust, would 2 reds have been correct

my fixture got called off but was lucky enough to get a reappointment Spoke to both teams prior to the game re foul language "i will you the courtesy of not swearing at you but I expect the courtesy in return" that kind of thing Game kicks off and way team 2-0 inside 11 minutes with 2 goals...

Thought I should post an update, the away team referred to in my OP were once again the away team and they once again started poorly and were 3-0 by half time No real incidents and the mouthy player to his credit was well behaved. 2nd half was a different story, had to tell one supporter to...

had an incident occur this weekend, home side taking a throw in as he runs up a supporter for the away side steps forward and shouts loudly in the throw in takers ear much to the delight of his fellow supporters. When the ball is next out of play I walked over to the spectator and politely...

Interesting feedback and some food for thought So hypothetically speaking reversing the roles had the keeper won the ball fairly and the strikers momentum carried him into the keeper, it would be a foul awarded to the keeper and a YC/RC if obviously reckless or endangering the keepers safety?

Striker has won the ball and contact is made afterwards as the ball is leaving the FOP, no way goalkeeper could stop I would have given the penalty had the striker been impeded but it was a collision caused by player momentum! I have always wondered though, would the attacking team have...

This reminds me of an incident that occured a few weeks ago; Cross came in from the right, was travelling quite fast towards the goal. Goalkeeper likely to win the ball and is setting up to punch away in a crowded area, striker bravely goes in to challenge for it, keeper obviously now in the...

This saturday will see me officiate a team I have had some difficulty with in the past. To add some context, as an ex-player I never wanted to be "one of those refs", the ones who are pedantic and appear to be a "jobsworth". As a result I have been (notice past tense!) a little more lenient...
