Got my first big middle of the season tomorrow, division one in the county between two strong teams. Had a tough week at work and was looking forward to getting out there and then wham. Wake up this morning with a sore throat and now I'm in bed with man flu feeling very sorry for myself with...

Just a touch, if he plays on the 13th at Carew I'm not sure the ref will know what is going on when loads of people rock up to watch. I've always found them a decent team to ref, even if their pitch is a little odd.

Basically Andorra spent the second half lunging into late tackles against Bale and Ramsey to try and nullify them.

Just read that Simon Davies, the ex Tottenham Hotspurs and Fulham midfielder will be playing for Solva FC in the Pembrokeshire League Division Two. WTF? He's still only 34. They have an awful ridge on their pitch and it's normally covered in badgers or foxes poop. Shame I'm leaving and won't get...

How can you defend that pitch when to a man they all complained about it.

How UEFA approved this pitch it's beyond me. The black balls arn't even evenly spread. What a joke. Least Bale saved us, unless we smash the next team in Cardiff I'm still dubious of Chris Coleman. Cyprus beating Bosnia is a result mind. I hope we some how qualify out of this group.

Ouchy.

Getting the blood flowing can help so warm baths as well as keeping active would keep it pumping. It should subside after 72 hours or so.

It sounds like you got it bang on and the defending players should be thankfull you wanted to see how play went on as had you blown for the foul straight away then it seems a red would have come out. I remember Clattenburg doing a similar thing with Arsenal last season I think, except the guy...

That is best left for the bar my man.

I just let it go and run down my leg. On a cold winters game there is a certain warmth that comes from lagging yourself.

Did the usual suspect sprint off at a 1000mph lol.

Water, water and some more water. Had two games in hot weather and have been chucking the stuff down my neck. From experience of work in some very hot places indeed it's worth chucking water down your neck until you pee clear. Be careful though as needing a pee mid game is uncomfortable. If...

I doubt I'll need it for that game, was on the line there today and my god it was dull. Awful standard of football and in no way needing three officials. I think there two offsides all game, I did have to remind the away manager that you can't be offside in your half of the pitch, he was...

On one of my first games I forgot my whistle, only realised when I went to blow for skippers to come in. Looked a right twonk as well as the changing rooms were miles away to go get it lol.

Pretty busy myself before I move to Germany. Got two womens premier league, plus a couple of more county games. You're on the line for me I believe Aled on the 21st.

Mate, my game last Tuesday was the same except rather than the players it was the idiots stood on the side, there were so many of them I couldn't identify which pillock was shouting the other. Came very close to loosing my cool. Not sure what it is about the away team but every time I ref them I...

I feel your pain, was on the line last season and saw a player jump in off the floor no more than 20-25 yards away from me. I tell ref he sends him off, assessor is apoplectic that we have got it wrong despite him being all the way over the other side of the pitch as well as in a stand. He even...

I expect you to grip him for that at the society dinner ;).

The crap showers thing is funny as there is a team I run the line on quite often due to living close by, they are a team in the second tier of Welsh football who also host UEFA women's euro qualifiers amongst other high level officials coming to ref them etc. Yet this team have the worst showers...
