    Playing Advantage in EPL

    Advantage is an artform and as RustyRef has said, possession _can_ be an Advantage depending on how the team likes to play. It also relates to the state of a game. For example: A team might be guarding a 2-1 lead with a minute to go. There is a minor foul on the half way line, you play...

    Flagging for a GK

    Well, for what it's worth, here's what I do: * Check placement position at edge of penalty area (These are the Directives). The exception is if there is a defender further back than that in which case offside line applies (as I can still check from there). * Move as fast as possible up to...

    Flagging for a GK

    Certainly at National League (PGMO) level, observers have been told that it is development advice should an AR continue to flag every obvious GK and corner.

    Help - Positioning on the pitch

    I go with the approach of thinking that the centre circle is full of sharks. It's okay to cross through it, but you want to be out of it ASAP.... ;)

    Wolves V Swansea

    VC for me. I was involved in a National League game recently where there was a very similar incident. Attacking break, far side, half way line. What was interesting was player reaction: Expectation was yellow card, and this was given at the time. Whilst one set of benches did ask why it...

    Correct. If you elect to go Football League line, your refereeing stops there!

    Concentration

    You do. After 3 seasons you _can_ choose. After 4 you _must_ choose. Also, if you get promoted to either 2B as a referee or Football League as an Assistant, that's your choice made for you!

    Concentration

    That's refereeing on the contributory leagues (e.g. Isthmian Premier / Div 1 North and South), and assistant on the National League. Level 3s will start by assisting on the National League North and South but can be promoted upwards from there (I'm now on the National League 'proper' as it were).

    Concentration

    Well done on your honesty. Like some others above, I also run a bit of a commentary at times (which is inspired a bit by the mics at National League, also). Generally, I am saying to myself "Yellow" or "Red" when there is a clear run at goal and I sense danger coming (I.e. keeper rushing out...

    Who played him on Lino?

    If in doubt, "The right back" (unless the right back is asking, in which case, pick a different position) ;)

    Racism/abuse from spectators

    Protocol for Dealing with Discriminatory Abuse As a result of high profile incidents where players have been the targets for discriminatory abuse from spectators at stadiums it was felt that guidelines needed to be drawn up containing advice for dealing with similar situations were they to...

    Distance Tracking

    I'm a fan of the Garmin series that have always proven very reliable for me. That said, the stop / start nature of refereeing means that any calorie calculations will be VERY inaccurate (as it isn't steady-state cardio).

    Fitness tests

    Mine has always been free, via the practice nurse, at the two different GPs I've used so far.

    Fitness tests

    3000m for me so job done. I think one L4 pulled out during their run, and one L3 pulled a calf muscle after 300m so needed to withdraw. Record on the day was 3650m (!)

    Mercenary goes Forth!!

    Interestingly, it IS level - a trick of the camera angle etc. It is being rotated to my right at the time of the screen-shot !

    Youth football; sending parents away

    I've done it once before, I think (back in the day!) and it was a case of approaching the Home manager. It was clear the offender was someone who did this regularly: All the parents were on one side of the pitch, _apart from this one person_ which made him stand out even more. As a result, the...
