Just after Abit of advice...
I have been Reffing for about 7 months now I have reffed mainly U14/U16 aswell as U18s games.
I recently have been advised to start Reffing open aged matches.
I had my first game last week on the Sunday morning league (Pub League)
I really didn't know what to expect, I felt I handled the game well, there was a red card incident and two penalties.
I felt like I didn't get any respect from anyone wether it's my age (18) or just people didn't agree with my decisions. How do people cope with these games? I was vocal and clear with my decisions, I defused a few situations, there was a lot of challenges flying in and the game was very aggressive, I thought I did well a few lads coming off the pitch said I did well for my age and they wouldn't do it at my age.
I have my second game Sunday, just after some tips on controlling the game and player management with Sunday league
I'm also Reffing this Saturday on the line in a local county league, and have gone for my promotion so looking to try and get as far as I can
Thanks
