An interesting scenario arose in an U14 match today and I'm not sure if I dealt with it correctly. Blue player is just beyond the half-way line attacking the yellow goal, which looks to be a very promising attack. Yellow player clearly grabs hold of his shirt and attempts to pull him down. As I...

Paid my registration fee today, look forward to hopefully meeting a few of you guys out in Paris!

Thanks Brian, info is much appreciated! :)

@jack.prescott I've just sent an e-mail out stating my interest in it. What are the costs that we need to cover for the tournament? I know last year they paid for pretty much everything except the travel to and from Paris, is it similar again?

I assume a few of you may have seen this, but for those who haven't there's a link at the bottom of the post. For those who can't view it, I'll describe what happens. Basically, Accrington play the ball into the box. Player turns and shoots, and the ref blows for half-time just before the ball...

Cheers for the responses guys, felt it would be an interesting one to bring up. On a a quick note, for this situation I was imaging the players were about 35 yards out, so my personal feeling is that it would be a yellow :)

Been reading a few posts on here and came across one where people were talking about how our interpretations of situations can perhaps prevent something from being DOGSO. Since reading it, I've thought up this hypothetical situation and wanted to get your guys' take on it. Say an attacker has...

Think you're absolutely right here. I had a similar incident where after a pass-back the keeper scuffed his kick and the spin brought it back to him after it bounced. He then picked it up and I blew for the IDFK. LOTG clear that the keeper cannot use his hands in any way in a situation where the...

Thanks for your responses guys, much appreciated. I'll just clear a couple of points up. Firstly, yes the match was properly sanctioned. Secondly, the reports were filed after the match. I take on board the point about the original comments being enough to warrant OFFINABUS, but I'm fairly...

So I was refereeing my first ever charity match a few weeks ago (no assistants), and two things happened that have stuck in my mind since then; was whites v blues. Firstly, I penalised a white player for offside. Immediately after I blow the whistle, he picks the ball up, boots it half way...

Thanks guys, I was certain I had made the right call awarding nothing and playing on. Just wanted to double check.

My referee association advises that match fees be collected before the game kicks off, to avoid that sort of situation after the match.

So today I had a game in which an incident happened that I haven't seen or heard about before. It was Orange v Blue, and the Oranges were winning 3-1 with 5 minutes to go. A long ball forward from the Blue team came to rest at the feet of the Orange GK. She kept the ball at her feet until...
