What is the best heatmap app to use?

Heard the Garmin watches are very good with built in GPS which is nice as I dont carry my phone when refereeing so at least then that allows me to see a heat map scenario and see what positions Im getting into

So any watch with a GPS you mean? Do you have to carry your phone with you while you ref though or is it just through wearing the watch alone?

I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a smart watch or app that I can use whilst refereeing so I can track my runs whilst refereeing, like a strava/map my run scenario so I can see what areas I am running into etc Please could anyone let me know.

Hi Guys, I like the look of the new Nike kit, where is the best place to buy it? Any tips or places or anywhere online would be great.

Im not sure as I thought if the ball crossed the goal line from but in an incorrect way then it would be a goal kick, thats my way of thinking of it...

Has anyone seen this? Surely a goal kick would have solved all the problems...

Thank you for the clarification. I knew those so am glad I thought it correct then, what happens if there is a high foot in the box, is it a penalty or an IDFK?

Fair enough...I wasn't to sure if its a DFK or not, I had it in my head that its an indirect FK

I got a county cup final last year as a 4th official in an U15s cup game which was a great experience but didn't get one this year unfortunately, I'm not too sure why cos I have done 8 games for county from U13s to OA so not sure why, I'm a bit gutted as to why I didn't get one as I have done...

I had a thought earlier about this and couldn't quite get my head round it... What happens when a keeper picks up the ball or makes a save outside the box with his/her hands What is the procedure and the punishment etc? I couldn't find it in the laws of the game and just wanted clarification...

It was so quick, cant really remember to be fair, the ball was there to be won and the striker missed it and caught the GK. Was definitely not malicious more accidental than anything else.

Thanks for the reply guys. I saw the striker go for the ball which was down low like just below knee length and as he kicked the ball he missed the ball and caught the keeper on the follow through who dived at his feet. There wasn't a lot of force but still quite hard anyway, they both went in...

I Had an U14s game today which was a top of the table clash as well as a local derby, I had the privilege of 2 assistants who were qualified referees so it really helped me in the end. However here is the dilemma/issue I had today. The striker from the red team went in for a 50/50 with the...

Your assessors give you marks out of 100 and you have to average 70% for your games, you have to do a minimum of 3 games. I got 69% so missed out unfortunately

I received my promotion letter yesterday and I missed out by 1%, I am absolutely gutted and feel like I am not a good enough referee, I know its only 7 to 6 but most people I spoke to said that 7 to 6 is really easy and you will be fine and because I missed out I feel useless and annoyed as 1%...

Had a strange one today which have never come across before. Boring U15s division 2 game. Green team are beating red home team 4-0 within 20 minutes and everything is fine, the green team manager is running the line for his team, he is wearing a scarf around his face because its that cold so I...

I had an incident today where the keeper made a last ditch save and got his hands to the ball, he didn't have 10 fingers on the ball but he definitely had control of the ball. The attacking player then kicked the ball out of his hands while he was on the floor and into the goal. I then...

I had a game today whereby the red player slipped on the ball and was not able to get up off the ball and the blue player was trying to kick the ball, the red player wasn't doing it on purpose he just wasn't able to get out the way of the ball... I gave a drop ball... Is this the correct decision?

Please can someone out there please show me a picture or diagram of where the referee needs to stand at a Corner and where to stand at a goal kick as I am starting to think I am not in the right place and just wanted some advice with this please. Any help with this would be great...
