Our local team hosted Swansea pre-season and had a Level 6 as AR, with comms and everything!

I have never been at a high level, but have sort of experienced this. I had a County Cup game where neither team knew me. When chatting to the managers pre-match I mentioned what games I 'd done and they assumed I were a much higher level than I was (was a 6, they assumed 4/3). That game was an...

Two refs I know haven't failed as such, but have had it paused; one has to complete a fitness test by the end of October, as didn't pass one this season and the other didn't get any observations so on hold until he has one next season.

Congrats @RefJef ! I got 6-5 too with Somerset. Probably one of the only ones who did over the games required, lines and all observations! Oh, and the mentoring. Busy..

From the FA: REFEREEING UPDATE The Refereeing structure is separate to the National League System (men’s and women’s) and it remains the intention for promotions and reclassifications to be implemented across the Refereeing pyramids. As I am sure you will all know, the footballing environment...

Blackburn! If I answer 'Blackburn' to every question I'm bound to get one right! (although I'm confident this is right)

Blackburn! I grew up there

Mine was an adults Royal Marines match :wide: Sent one off for second bookable offence, forgot to show the first yellow though!

He received it in the opponents half..

No, that got me too! it's the defenders penalty area, so a DFK is correct.

Just seen from A&H that Nike aren’t releasing a new kit for the new season. Might be a good time to renew your tired kit now while prices are a bit cheaper!

Considered this, but at £180 for everything (or £135 if sharing a room) I'm probably going to give this a miss. That's before the fuel/ costs and travel time 🧐

Managers get fired and rehired all the time though... ;)

In the middle - probably 100 On the line - about 200 ish Playing - about 5k on a FIFA approved pitch in Ivory Coast :p

Might be slightly different but me and another ref were at a loose end and were going to watch another refs game, but we both needed lines for promotion so asked our Appointing Officer if we could do it. Also went to watch the same ref on another day and one team had no subs so I ran a line...

A few weeks ago I turned up to a County representative game as AR1 in a suit. Bought myself a new massive roller kit bag so had to sort that out before I set off. Getting dressed I realised I forgot my socks.. The socks I had on were black, but with little green monsters on one of them (thought...

Just after your thoughts on the following.. I've had a few instances of an attacker being within a metre of the defensive wall (of three or more defenders) this season. What I'd like to discuss is how do you deal with it? Do you.. A) Wait for the kick to be taken and blow for an IDFK - it's...

Taken from FA guidance on glasses (from 18/19 though): FA guidance for players playing with glasses 2018/19 Referees should check each player’s equipment prior to kick off, or the player entering the field of play as a substitute. Law tells us... A player must not use equipment or wear...
