Well for whatever reason I've been given an U14 quarter final county cup game this week. Probably due to convenience of location although my ego would like to believe that they've been massively impressed with my 10 games to date! How are cup games different to league? Are they harder to manage...

I never know what to do when warming up. I know it sounds stupid but I always feel like an idiot running about on my own when people are watching. I tend to run between the goal and usually a nearby tree several times and then do some stretches. What do you do?

Had 2 games today, an U14 and an U13. There was 2 incidents across them that I wasn't completely sure how to handle. U14 game was first. Fairly dull game and finished 10-2. I gave 2 penalties, one of which might have been soft as they were pushing against each other 50/50 and the stronger of...

Hi, I'm 16 and a new ref. I have done 3 games which would fit quite well into a traffic light (one was good, one was bad, one was alright). Look forward to meeting you around the forums
