Never have I ever done and never will I ever walk along the players checking their boots. Ever.

Goal Kick, check the LOTG ;)

How many of us would actually notice this when we are out on it?

I'm young, and the best tip I can give to you is get the older guy on side. Usually the centre half! Have a chat with him during your warm up, and keep talking during the game. Usually, in lower games, the older players have more say and control than anyone!

Yes Tealeaf! I stopped as soon as I started refereeing, not just because I e joyed it more, but It was too demanding to give 100% to a game in the morning and in the afternoon.

Where was this?

My name's xxx, this is xxx and xxx my assistants. Lets keep the game going, and keep the language down. You help us and we will help you. Toss, and were off!

It sounds vain, but if I ever find myself drifting off a little, I imagine that I'm in a 30,000 seater :P

I really liked Poll's book, and only just started Halsey's, but very much feels like a competition between them. Did anybody hear Poll's reaction to Halsey's book on TalkSport?

Like has previously been said, this for me is a yellow for time wasting, not taking off the shirt. Either way, he did take of his shirt so technically a yellow. As far as the poll goes, it should be at the referee's discretion and come under time wasting. There is no need for a separate...

Thats a dangerous thing to say Aled...

I only do 1 minute silences if requested by the clubs or by the league.

Welcome!

To me that looks like bad communication between the officials, and possibly a case of lack of pre-match instructions or lack of listening to pre-match instructions! An awkward situation that could quite easily be avoided.

Trust me, not speaking Welsh will make zero difference! The same as above. Make sure you listen to the referees instructions and ask any questions no matter how silly you think they may be. Remember to flag clearly and confidently.

Well done. Who are the teams?

It has always amazed me why so few (if any) referees have told me to 'mirror', as it makes so much sense! Especially as far as subs go.
