Was at my looking recreation ground again last night watching my local village team. Only a reserve team battle but one that the locals cared about as if they won they would go back to second. A good 60-70 people turned out which is good considering the level of football (level 11 I think)...

From what I have been told, the Home team are gonna get fined, deducted points and lost the fixture without rematch which I think is very harsh seeing they were 2-0 up.

I turn 16 on the summer and will have qualified by then so will I jump from 8-7 straight away? (Won't necessarily do open age straight away!)

At what point do you caution for dissent at youth level? I referee u12 and U11 at the moment both being competitive (have to report score and discipline) and let most things go. But I have have had some Lippy kids recently. So at what point do I clamp down and start dishing out cards?

I agree as a referee abuse from the spectators is wrong but he claimed he had received too much dissent from players even with zero attempt to use his cards to put a stop to it which is what confused me.

I agree completely. Just felt like he didn't know the rules well and he didn't use his cards. They are there to control game management and he completely lost it due to not using them.

I hope so, but he shouldn't be swearing at players.

Ok so I've never Seen like this, at a local game just at the park whites vs reds. First half uneventful but the second half was when it all kicked off. Firstly ref striker gets fouled and the white defender grabs him by the throat and red tries to walk away. Ref comes over and books red for no...

Was watching a local game today , at a standard recreation ground on a public pitch. Cup semi final with many supporters for home and away teams even if it was at a park. Ref lost control very quickly booking 7 of the away team for dissent in the first half. But that wasn't the talking point. It...

I'm with Berks and Bucks after doing the course with Northants and they said nothing about a mentor. They simply said record your 5 games. I'm sure it will be fine, just a tough second game!

Hi all, Recently took my course and currently a trainee ref. Did my first game at the weekend but was only a U11 game that wasn't technically 'competitive'. I have my second game this weekend and my first real game. It is still only U12 but means a lot more for the players. Its a Division 2...

Debates being had already about that Yaya Toure Tackle on Can, want to say red but lets hear everyone's view.

Is it worth contacting my leagues fixture secretary or does he not have the power to set it up?

Ok, I can get on to my Whole Game account but there isn't anything about refereeing. Does every game get added or something?

new referee been in email contact with referee secretary in to ref for and he mentioned in the unlikely account of using my cards (u12 games) he said I report them to my 'game website' . Could I ask what that is?

Still very impressive, I hope to up at the dizzy heights one day

Play on, not deliberate

That's pretty high up to referee at! Are you a national listed ref?

I have little experience yet as a referee but I would say you'll get your rewards eventually

What game and role did you do at six fields?
