I’ve had 2 so far in a year, one as AR and one as R. 1) The way I’ve done it so far is to stand back and observe rather than writing down notes as it goes on, if you can get your book out and scribble down some notes while still watching that’s great - someone with more experience can I’m sure...

I’d assume that the club would receive the fine and somewhere in the contract would decide whether the club or players paid the fine for it

Completely agree with the Digne red card today however Ancelotti’s comments were IMO completely out of character. I know he’s defending his player but surely a breach of the interview protocol calling the decision a joke. I have also attached a link of the interview where he says it was not...

Yes it’s a league where they think they’re kids are the top players and most JPL leagues have representative teams and the parents think of their kids get into them they’re going to be the next big thing and often the players are very gobby. It’s a National thing but they do it region by region...

To be honest usually in youth football I think they should be behind the respect barrier for safeguarding reasons like he’s not likely to be DBS checked and sometimes they can cause problems when they stand there. Obviously in a park you can’t enforce it but like Brian said he’s being quite OTT...

Very fair point, I think part of what baffled me is that Maguire didn’t get that penalty given against him earlier but that was given. Agree with the point about Fabinho the one he got turned in about the 80th minute and Burke went through exposed that especially. Apparently (don’t shoot the...

Clear pen IMO

Opinions on Fabinho pen vs Oli McBurnie? IMO no foul but contact was on the line so if given as foul pen was correct decision although I thought the tackle was OK personally?

Wow, good luck hopefully you get 2 half decent linos 🤣

Taken off the jpl rules stating 4 periods so the manager would have been correct. Apparently they aren’t in the county’s boundaries although they’re an affiliated league

Just quickly I haven’t personally covered a JPL game due to not having transport however I’ve been to a few mates games in this and it has been 4 quarters for development of the players. One is playing tomorrow u16 and I’ve just checked with him and he says 4x20 so quite possibly is

I agree with the above advice completely but if desperate, ask your RA secretary if they’re willing to ask. I too would advise against it as I was disappointed and hadn’t had the advice at the time.

Wow that’s brilliant Imo - responsible coaches too🤯👍

Wow out of interest are you in England and if so what county? My local league in Birmingham has lots of parents/spectators and unfortunately social distancing doesn’t seem to apply to them for some reason 🤷‍♂️

@PinnerPaul for my dad not to charge me for it says something 🤣🤣 ive always had to pay but not for this one but don’t worry I didn’t say anything at the time just accepted it and got on with the game as I wish players would 🤣

When I played youth football (u15) last year my dad was billed £20 for when I was given a yellow for a foul tackle - he payed it because everyone there disagreed with the yellow and was because the ref was pressured into it by opposition managers.

I have 2 that I use, the fox 40 classic which is imo great never had any problems with it and if you can get the right tone is perfect, not too loud but loud enough that everyone knows what’s going on and gives you enough authority. I only use my Fox 40 Sonik Blast for mass confs or when a ref...

What does everyone think of the Jimenez kick out on Koch, very similar to the Son one and even with the contact, that looked like a more violent kick than the Son one although the Harry Maguire vs Chelsea ones wasn’t punished either. Red card for VC imo very obvious kick out towards the player...

Thanks all👍

No, my county doesn’t support the purple shirt campaign, from others advice that it’d come back badly on me I’ll probably leave it. I am 15 and wasn’t too happy with how he spoke to me but unfortunately that’s how it seems to be with few but some managers and have unfortunately had a lot worse...
