How do the CFA judge the appointments based on merit is it a word of mouth thing or club marks from your league or something completely different? And is this the case with any county cup appointments or just finals?

I had one in injury time last weekend. High, reckless tackle

What are we thinking of the Jarrod Bowen incident which resulted in West Ham’s goal being chalked off? I’m a referee and West Ham fan. I try my best to understand perspectives of other referees and normally get where they’re coming from but I’m struggling to see this one. The only thing I can...

Thanks guys, I'll definitely take the tips on board and try to implement them to phase out the problem I'm having

I'm just curious to know if anyone else was really hesitant with their cards when they first started. The problem I have is that I see a clear incident which deserves a yellow card and I just don't show the card this then leads to the match spiralling out of control. I'm fully aware I do this on...

Okay!

Has anyone got any tips for positioning when play is in the middle? I feel like I get in the way and caught up in play way too much when the ball is in the centre circle in particular.

Okay, thanks guys!

I'm level 8/Y currently is it worth looking at club marks for the past season or is it something I should leave alone as I know some teams strongly disagreed with some big calls I made?

I thought so, I'm also sure I saw 6 seconds somewhere maybe I'm thinking of gk with the ball in their hands. Thanks for the help

I played advantage a few games ago and the player took a shot within the 6 seconds, once the goalkeeper saved the shot a teammate of the fouled player then asked for the free kick because it hadn't been 6 seconds. Was I right to play on or should I have brought the play back to the free kick...

I've seen something about youth promotion as well from an email from my county fa RFO said he would send more info soon

I've seen some stuff about the promotion scheme changing so was planning to see what happens in that regard. I've been trying to get the oldest age groups where possible as I enjoy them more but I've started to realise that they're best for developing man management. I will also try to get some...

I've just finished my first season of refereeing and on the most part I've loved it. I'm only 15 so I won't be able to referee adult football until part way through next season but I think promotion is something I'd like to try for in the next few seasons. I'm expecting many people to tell me...

One more thing with IDFKs with pass backs it the kick taken from where the pass started or where the keeper picked it up?

Obviously you can’t score directly from an indirect free kick but I can’t find anything about the goalkeeper touching the ball before it goes in the goal. If the goalkeeper or another player deflected the ball would the goal be allowed?

Before it was taken

Ball wasn’t in play but I’m not really sure if it was a jump or just a step towards his opponent with his arm up.

I think I'd probably deem it reckless, it looked like he jumped almost and lifted his elbow up which hit the other player on the back of the head. Both players had their back to me so I couldn't see his facial expression which is annoying because I think that would've very useful.

Thanks, I have no problem sending anyone any age group off for v/c the main problem was that I wasn't sure if it was v/c or not.
