Have been using Refsix since I started last year. Really, really good, especially with a pro subscription I've included a link from Refsix that list all the watches that are compatible with it https://refsix.com/watch-selector As I said, been using it since I started refereeing last year...

They probably expect a penalty on top of the goal 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yep, should be how it’s done, that’s how I’m supposed to do it. I’m assuming in the example I gave, the referee just didn’t manage that part of the procedure well on the day

Yeah I have a spare pair of old white/black/pink Nike mercurials from when I used to play for that, but I think that will be the odd game out for me and those artificial ground boots will do. It’s more of a comfort thing since I don’t have to worry about kicking anymore

Ah yes forgot to mention that too since he wasn’t playing the ball

I use these haha. Got a bit of a raised eyebrow when I AR'd in our top league a few weeks back because apparently these are for artificial ground?

I might have to look up exactly what happened. It was in 2006 so I'm going back a loooong long way here. EDIT: I was wrong, it was a substituted player who ended up taking the winning kick. Yoogali (the losing side) appealed the result of the shootout and the tribunal initially decided to...

Yes it is very interesting. I think I would be doing what was done in the clip. Defender commits the foul first, however the attacker is probably on borderline VC, so that's probably the only variation that I'm a bit torn in what I would do as the referee.

#2 happened in a cup final years ago in my hometown. The offending club won the shootout, but was fined after the fact. The losing club (from my hometown), left the league and joined another association and brought the cross-town rivals with them. It was a red carded player I believe that took...

It's something I actually haven't had a discussion about (or have been told about to be honest), but the consensus at games has either been: * Home team provides both CARs or; * Home team CAR where the Senior AR would be positioned on the sideline with the technical area. Have a education...

Yeah, I think I can understand that a bit better. I guess I was just a bit peeved on the spot at what seemed like an act of trying to game a penalty for his team, which is why I was a bit pedantic at how he had his flag out. I mean, other than that incident, I didn't have an issue with the...

I'm sorry for resurrecting an old-ish thread, BUT this situation accurately describes an incident that occurred in my first game yesterday (and sorry Ryan, I did come across this post by stalking your profile, just wanted to see how you were progressing, again considering our similar levels)...

Good advice mate, and that's coming from a 30 year old 2-year referee at pretty much your level. I'd probably add to that, rather than take it one season at a time, it might be better to look at it one weekend at a time. Considering you seem to be at the same level as me (Level 4 in Australia...

Well.. it kind of already does, doesn't it? If an AR delays the flag until after the ball goes back in the net, VAR can overrule, correct?

Going to add to this how I've been trained with regards to DOGSO, especially this year: If I'm going to give that DOGSO AND a penalty, I would only be giving a yellow card, because he is playing at the ball and the penalty restores the goal-scoring opportunity. In addition to that, I can't see...

Yep, today was my first games in the middle since then, and I made sure where everything was. I think it's easier to stick my hand in my shorts pocket, than my shirt pocket (considering I don't use a notebook at all unless I'm making notes for a red card), so decided from this week that I'm...

I did the opposite a few weeks back. Pulled the red out and held it behind me while I spoke to the player, and then glanced at my hand before I pulled the card right out, noticed it was red (that, and could see him almost s***ing his shorts through his eyes), and told him "Sorry mate, it's a...

One of our development managers told a great story about using humour. I can't remember the whole lead up, but a striker from one of the teams was giving the referee a bit of strife saying he was making a "stupid decision" as one example. Striker's next shot at goal ends up going out near the...

I wouldn't say so. I'm speaking for a grassroots level, but I've been instructed by my association to only put Red Cards on the match card after the game, and not the code, because it helps with administration and appeals. But, do put the codes on the incident report for the red. All this...

I watched without realising which team is which. But DFK to black team it should have been yeah? I'm guessing that's Lincoln by the way things panned out..? (posting this without reading anyones replies..) EDIT: I wrote blue initially, but I meant black. I just got home from work, forgive me. I...
