Wherever you position yourself make sure you can clearly observe both areas of encroachment. So blow whistle focus on other players just before player takes kick focus on the keeper. It is not ideal however the best in he circumstances

Agreed. No referee wants to give red cards especially keepers unless absolutely necessary. As I am sure you would all expect assessor started debrief with KMIs all of which he supported. I wonder what he would have said if I had bottled it and gone yellow.

Being assessed last year home team losing 3 nil opposition striker played through by long ball over the top. Keeper comes outside of the box to challenge striker who tries to chip the keeper only for keeper to save it with both hands. So blew my whistle I went through the 3Ds & 1C. All were...

Honestly my sprinting technique is like my dancing. Arms and legs all over the place. If like me you are nearer your pension in years than you are years since leaving school then using your arms properly is important. As I said above I practised several times the required distance with iphone...

Apologies Tim. The 10 laps were fine. We were in groups of 5 with each of us taking it in turns to run in lane 2. As in previous years when you hear the double beep just call out 5/4/3/2/1 so as to finish at the cone as whistle goes. Our group found the hardest bit walking slow enough during the...

Morning Tim being a lowly level 4 I only had to do the 2 x 40m sprints in 6.2. My 2nd attempt was 6.25 so there really is no leeway. You get below 6.2 or you go again. Some of the younger lads were recording times just over 5 seconds so they could have done the level 3 with ease. I had practised...

This year we had 2 times for level 4s. 0930 group and the 1030 group. I believe there was about 6/7 who got called to one side and had to do a retake. So you had to put your foot on the line which is 1.5 metres from start gate then head down and go so very little run up. The track does help and...

Morning All So did the " New " level 4 fitness test yesterday and yes the sprints were using the electronic gates. It is definitely an added pressure and more official than before. 50m in 7.5 with the whistle going once everyone crossed the line is a thing of the past. Anyway despite being over...

Just received my observer report from Saturday. This subject was part of my development. No whistle needed for DB as has been stated above that ball is in play when it touches the ground. I accept the points above that it lets everyone know that play has restarted however I was advised to make...

My honest opinion from watching 1st time. NO PENALTY. Both of them were at it.

I hope that when this incident has been fully investigated and suitable punishment is dished out to both assistant and Robertson that we now make it clear. Anyone touching an official will be RED CARDED. This grabbing the arm nonsense (Mitrovic now Robertson) must stop. I know it is easy for me...

As mentioned above these people are helping you manage the game. So make sure you support them ass much as possible. I make it plain to both captains at the start of the game if either of my 2 assistants receive severe adverse comments during the game then action will follow. However if I have a...

For me I go to my 1st instinct so lets say Yellow keep saying yellow to yourself taking in reaction of player who was fouled other players and look at assistant referee if neutral to see if they have anything to add. If at end of incident when things have settled down you are still saying yellow...

Up to you what your tolerance level is. I wouldn't personally have risen to his behaviour instead I would have waited until he serves his 10 minutes then the next time he comes to my attention I would be looking to YC him which hopefully means he then shuts up for rest of the game.
