As regards to the stoppage time, my understanding is that it would be a "minimum" of 4 minutes, and if there are any stoppages within that allotted time, its added on which could quite easily take it to 7 minutes

Never get double booked funnily enough as I'm quite organized and have a good memory lol

I referee in the Central Ayrshire Youth League, Paisley District Amateurs, Scottish Womens Football League, Club Academy Scotland (Pro Youth) , Strathclyde Churches League (Open Age), West of Scotland YFL and I also ran line in Scottish Junior Football last season too !!!

I thought he was weak especially with the Garcia yellow

Macedonia's fault as far as I can see, shouldn't have "Switched off"

I've had the 3 halves scenario before, always during friendlies or at the U13 proyouth level in Scotland

In the absence of vanishing spray, I sometimes make marks on the ground by dragging my studs across ground to indicate where the 10 yards are so they don't encroach, so should I stop doing this then? As it would be setting a bad example

I'm quite a shy person so When I referee a match at any level, I always wish I communicated more with the players

My fees at moment are going to wedding fund :(

Whether or not I show cards is irrelevant to how I feel a game went. If I come off pitch and Im still smiling, then ive had a good one, none of us are perfect we will miss the odd foul or throw in the wrong way, but I tend to go into a match with the mindset that if I focus on the offsides, the...
