    Nike KNVB Shirt

    I think it's a horrible shirt!! Ask yourself this - if it didn't have the Nike logo, would you still like it?

    Which umbro shirt?

    Haven't used diamond, but having seen others with it I think I prefer my respect. I wouldn't go with Wembley unless you have a pair of socks with white tops because otherwise you'll have to buy a pair of those as well.

    Abandoning the match

    What are the circumstances when you should abandon the match?

    Age Group Card Leniency

    You have no right to instruct a manager not to substitute a player. I know some say 'sub him or I'll send him off' but that takes some of your power away, meaning your decisions are affected by the manager's decisions. Similarly, if you did this, and then later on an opponent said something so...

    First Impressions

    For me it's always either FAMOA tracksuit or tie, never jeans.

    Age Group Card Leniency

    Certainly from U13 upwards I agree that you should use your cards, but I'm not quite sure why not OFFINABUS at lower levels?? With regards to DOGSO, it's really hard to do it, but even at u11 you do have to send off. My county told me with DOGSO, you can have no leniency, and never consider...

    Junior/Youth Unsure about a call I made

    @HarryD - at that age I don't think you need to take the fine into consideration as it's almost certainly his parents paying it. For me me that's not dissent. It's either red for OFFINABUS or nothing. For me, red.

    Ref overrules AR

    I agree when the AR is wrong in law they have to be overruled, but this was simply a matter of judgment.

    Junior/Youth Toughest game yet

    As it happened they weren't too bad. Even though they had won the league they were beaten comfortably 4-0, and just a couple of cautions towards the end for bad tackles which were out of frustration.

    Ref overrules AR

    Yes, the ref got it right (my seat looks right down that line)

    Ref overrules AR

    He wasn't quick, he waited to see the AR's decision but ignored it. The correct decision was made in the end though.

    We love you, Blackpool, we do

    It's obviously sad to see such a long history come to an end, but from an entirely selfish perspective I am glad it was you rather than Wycombe or Northampton simply because they're a lot closer!! Good luck in non-league, and hopefully you'll be able to do what most teams can't and return...

    Ref overrules AR

    Would you ever do what the referee at the Southend match did yesterday? He gave a throw in when it was tight, but the ball went out but the assistant referee didn't give it (it was clear that he thought the ball didn't go out rather than waiting to see which way the ref gave it).

    Assistant Referee Pathway

    With regards to the question above, I voted yes but I don't think that means that people who want to do middles as well should be stopped doing both.

    Assistant Referee Pathway

    I love both! I reckon they could do a separate promotion scheme from level 6 up where it's called 6A, 5A etc. and, for example, when you have a league with level 4 refs and level 5 ARs, as well as the level 5s, they could also have 6As on the line.

    Absolutely Disgusting

    I just don't understand what goes through your head when you do that. It's like the three officials all beating up a young striker because he misses a shot.

    Europa League Semi Final

    Didn't see the game but I did not believe for a minute what the Juventus coach said: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27253555 If he said that in england he would get a hefty fine (rightly) but I fear that UEFA will allow him to get away with it, and maybe even be influenced by his comments.
