Not sure if Ive missed something major, but to me it seemed like a fairly obvious handball, red card, penalty situation...

Be calm, relaxed, and dont forget the little things. There should be an assessment criteria available from your RDO/RO, so maybe see if you can have a look at that for some more specific guidance. One thing assessors really like from my experience is communication, so make sure you talk A LOT...

Wohoooo! And its my birthday next week :P

I haven't done a youth game in quite a while, but for me, it has always been a caution when a caution is needed and a red when red is needed. You are the referee, not a coach.

Its always useful to have the league/competiton/FA safeguarding officer number handy (usually in the handbook), so you can direct any questions to them. You are the match referee, there to ensure the competition rules and LOTG are adhered too. If the rules don't cover it, then its not up to you.

The only problem I can see in terms of LOTG is ensuring the sock colour is the same as the team's sock colour.

For me its hot water, vinegar and ear cleaning buds!

In all fairness, you need a lot more guidance than that! The flags should only be used, in my opinion, with experienced neutral assistants. The main advice would be that you should not buzz without a flag, especially not until you get higher up the ladder and work with assistants a bit more...

Have you tried refs call?

I don't use them very often, but they have never annoyed me, nor has anybody told me they annoy them.

As Joshua say's, they do, but for me, nothing noticeable.

Wise move :P

With a drop ball?

I don't often use them, but I have a set of the touchlines, non rubber, and I find the size and weight of the handle to be perfect. Yes it could do with being a little bit more 'rubbery' as it can become difficult when wet, but I find them to be great.

I am currently abroad in a country where coloured kits are allowed, and my goodness does it cause problems! I have always been an advocate of wearing colours other than black, but now, my mind has seriously changed!

Spurs all the way.

Hello! Good luck with the course, and go in open minded :P

What league is this exactly? Well done on the game going well.

Well done!

I presume you are talking about the whistle? If so, I have it, and I am not fussed about it.
