In England, where there is a team of three officials, it is common for an appointment secretary to appoint at least two officials who live close by, and one who lives further away (sometimes all three officials live close by). It is then the referee who organises travel. The two officials who...

A player can indeed pass the ball to their keeper if it is not kicked (i.e. using the foot). A deliberate trick would be flicking it up to themselves, and kneeing it back. This is circumventing the laws of the game, and is not allowed. And actually in my experience, referees normally notice it.

Gents, sorry, but hairbands are allowed (if they are doing the purpose of holding back hair!). All you have to do is watch a high level womans game - they are all wearing them!

Touchline are exclusive to A&H, so you won't be able to get them from anyone else

Example assessments Edit: These really aren't the best examples really, so quite disappointed in the FA.

Competencies: Competencies | 7-6 Performance Competency 1 – Application of Law · Did the Referee apply law correctly at all times – paying specific attention to fouls and misconduct? · Did the Referee demonstrate the ability to be able to distinguish challenges that were fair and foul? ·...

There are no correlations or hidden agendas - they were all marked against the same competencies as the last years. Different referees, different performances. If you referee the standard required, regardless of who you have upset / impressed, and match all criteria, you will be promoted. Only...

I got my 7-6, 6-5 and 5-4 in three years, one after another, and know many in the same boat - different referees, different progression. Ref1995, disregard the current assessor handbook Matty has attached (sorry Matty) this is now redundant, as the assessment scheme is not completely...

WGS is slowly becoming mandatory across the county. The option for no disciplinary action are for those referees who want to keep a full record of all their matches. The WGS can do this. It's also there for when the WGS becomes even more advanced, more similar to MOAS.

David - the referee assessor should make contact with you several days before the game, directly before the game, and hold a post-match debrief. Report to your RDO / RDM

Is it tape or part of the sock? Is there white lines on the Everton football socks? CBA to check

Cheap buzzer flags! Found some on Soccer Superstore - but can't change the flags from continental to quartered...

My advice is to stay clear. Reputations mainly. There is a possibility that there was a late change, so it isn't the referee you're thinking about. IMO - things will sort themselves out eventually i.e. the referee will soon be found out.

Ring up A&H directly - they have loads of spares etc... and can do you a deal. E.g. I had to get some new end-locks and one plastic tube.

I agree - the tackle itself is a caution.

Yellow card, regardless of whether they know each other. This is a high level of football, with a large amount of spectators. Players should be setting an example.

Not very respectful IMO Steve. Yes, he may have had a 'shocker' but doesn't give you ground to publicly humiliate him. Use his performance to predict why he is wrong, and what could have been done differently. I am sure that you have had shockers too... We all have... All you can do is learn...

Bester - you have proven me wrong - thanks! What a fascinating scenario - I really have no clue what the correct procedure is!

This is certainly a drop ball, it is an outside interference
