So to give you some background, the red team had a player winded but the ball was in play. I continued playing for around 20-30 seconds to see if a) he got up and b) if the ball went out of play. Neither of these happened although within that time the red team had regained possession. I...

If you can't be sure then you can't give the decision. I'm inexperienced but learnt quickly that you can't guess, interpret or anticipate things happening. No one should be abused like that for doing their job. You gave the spectator and the manager the opportunity to remove themselves and they...

Thanks for the advice, in hindsight I should have just applied for a single league it seems. Although the leagues won't talk to one another, do we know if the full time systems knows I have a fixture on a day and once assigned removes it from being available to the other league? I'm hoping...

I'm fresh out of my training and as a follow up I was sent an email with a list containing the contacts from all of the local leagues. I picked a couple of Saturday leagues and a Sunday league. Over the weekend I received some fixtures assignments via the FA full time website. One of which is...
