Obviously what we do varies from game to game.
But generally are you the type to blow for everything or do you let things go a bit more from time to time.
I try and let the game flow as much as possible as think there is nothing worse than hearing a referee blow every couple of minutes for a free kick. But I obviously crackdown when need be. I've only really done youth football thus far and find you sometimes need to let a few more things go to get the game going a bit. I've been really strict in a few games and it does send a message to the lads which I think at the younger age they sometimes take it on board a bit too much and you end up with a really lifeless game as they wont go in for any challenges etc. The adult games you really dont need to encourage them to put their foot in most of the time so try and crack down on them a bit more.
