referee

Hi there, I referee in the UK for a couple of seasons, should be L4 in January and will try to push for 3. I'm also L2 in Futsal, so I usually do a football game on Saturday and a Futsal one on Sunday. I'm lately losing a bit of interest in the Futsal, for different reasons. I'm considering...

In many matches, some clubs register their official players on the team sheet, but once they return to the dressing room, they secretly switch shirts with unregistered players or unknown people, who then enter the field without the referee noticing. My question is: If the referee discovers...

Hi, I’m fairly new to the UK and I’m going from 5 to 4. I had a good game where I felt my observer was very pleased with my performance. My mark was 72.3. While I’m happy with it, I’d just like to clarify what is considered a good mark and what isn’t, as all the observations I hear about...

Evening all. I hope someone can help me with this. During a game today, a direct free kick was awarded on the edge of the opposing penalty area. The attacking team wanted to hold the ball in place with their finger (similarly to a rugby conversion or penalty situation) whilst the kick was taken...

Having such a great game yesterday evening to such a low today. I sent off a player after about 15 minutes, straight red, for saying the C word after he had missed a shot. He was 1 on 1 and dragged it wide, everyone else at about the half way line. I heard him say that to himself so sent him...

I club referee a fair amount and referee my own school as well so I know a lot of the players. (I obviously don’t always club or school referee so this only really applies to when I know the...

Hi, Usually I use Refsix to referee from my Apple Watch (I’m sure most of you are aware what it is) I have not used paper for a long time properly. At half time I usually right down the number of individual players who are on ‘thin ice’, but apart from that, I don’t really use my notebook. I...

Hello I had a game in Sweden’s division 2 (4th tier). I reffed it with a microphone and have added English subtitles. The video shows almost all fouls called in the game and you can hear how the communication was. Thought it would be an interesting video for this forum. Video is unlisted:
