So had a game yesterday (adults) and the attacker dribbles into box he shoots and hits crossbar but after he shoots is taken out from behind by a late slide tackle. I give pen and keeper who will later be sin binned comes running to me saying " ref he has shot so therefore you cant give him a...

So basically attacker goes down my angle I see a dive with no contact as he was running across a defender. The team who get the free kick give it back to the other teams goalie as they say there was contact ... me well I feel embarrassed 😥

I got a molten valkeen for Christmas and just noticed that the silver bit has fell off and I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

I hear "You can over rule the linesman you know ref" all the time and I'm just wondering if others here ever hear it and if so any advice on what I should reply with (ie what do you say) if anything?

Match abandoned with 30 minutes left to play in the second half of an U16 Cup match (I believe quarter final) because of Coach A (away team coach) becoming extremely violent/ hostile towards me and then refusing after repeated attempts by myself to vacate the vicinity as I had sent him off. In...

So the weekend just gone I had an incident where a midfielder tried to play a ball to an attacker who was offside however the defender tried to kick the pass away but miss kicked and kicked it behind himself straight to the attacker lino raised flag I waived him on as it was an intentional play...

Don't really know what thread to put this, if in wrong place I apologise. Anyways been told by local fa that application for promotion next season opens up tomorrow, and I have a few questions. Firstly, If you apply and pay the non refundable £30 are you guaranteed to be given the chance to...

Had a game today and at the end had someone approach me saying he was my mentor. He said my appearance was poor as my shirt wasn't tucked in which is fair enough as I know mentors like it tucked in. He said I shouldn't blow my whistle for corners or free kicks and let the players get on with it...

Don't think there was a thread on this game but but if there is feel free to take this down. Personally I think both pens shouldn't have been pens but I can see why the first one was given as I though it was a pen until I saw the replay from a different angle. Then in my mind I want to say...

@santa sangria suggested I gave this comment it's own thread to get advice from you guys but also I'm curious to know if you have come across this situation in your career? I had a game earlier this season where the gk had a collision to the head his coach told me that he would be keeping him...

So I was refereeing an adults quarter final an I gave a penalty the player was one on one with gk and defender tackles him from behind not getting a touch on the ball. I give him a red. After the game the coach asked me what i sent him off for I replied for a dogso he immediately replied well...

Hi all I've received an email from my county fa regarding the number of my reports I've been asked to send them the rest of my games for 2018 so they help support me. Is this something I should be worrying about or is this just my county fa being nice?

It's me again ... The Match was abandoned in the 30th minute of the second half. After awarding a goal I was immediately surrounded by Team A players who were screaming at me that it was hand ball I told them that I am awarding the goal as I would be guessing if I said it was hand ball. Then a...

I currently have 1 whistle which I use it is a fox40 (the one I got from my course) now it has served me well the past 2 seasons but with Christmas coming up I'm thinking of investing or asking for (from my parents as they keep asking me what I want for Christmas) a molten valkeen and having my...

The one thing I hate is when I go to blow my whistle possibly for foul and for some reason the noise that comes from the whistle is similar to that of a mouse squeaky noise it really gets on my nerves and I feel embarrassed by it haha.

So on Saturday I'm in the middle for my first adults game (AKA oa) it's 3rd vs bottom with the team in 3rd needing 3 points to get into a promotion place. Not that this will at all change my mindset going into the game but I thought it would be useful context. So any advice bearing in mind I'm...

I gave a red card and also need to file a misconduct report but what I usually type in to find the league isnt working the league isnt showing up. Any thoughts?

Hi I've got my first line on Saturday in what will be my first experience of OA football . It's a cup game where 2nd in top league is playing 3rd in 2nd league. Literally ANY advive would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
