Hi all, Thanks for your support. County FA has offered no further explanation for the decision. In terms of the hearing itself there were a couple of witnesses saying that the incident did not happen whatsoever. But their stories did not tally regarding the incident one said that the offender...

As you may be aware there was an attempted assault on myself recently. I had the hearing at Notts FA and the result has been returned as "Not Proven". I feel let down by the entire process and no longer feel safe refereeing. I will therefore not be refereeing any longer.

Thank you for your support everyone. I have been informed that there will be a hearing regarding the incident , has anyone got any advice?

This was in a County Cup match

There was around 80 minutes gone and the game was niggly throughout with four cautions to that point, but no signs of anything like that happening

Hi Bester, I am fine thanks, OK yeah that's what I have done.

Hi guys, These are becoming all too frequent, but this is the first time it has happened to me. Had a player today who, after being showed a second caution, gets up and pushes an opposition player on to the ground before turning his attention to me yelling "I'm going to F*****g kill you" and...

Hi guys, I am just wondering whether I will be informed of the outcome of a misconduct report in terms of punishment provided and if not can I ask anyone? This is not a major incident (like an assault or anything) I am just curious. Thanks

From my very limited experience of this I only know of one ref assault case and the ban was 5 years, so yes it is lenient but it may be fairly normal as well unfortunately! What did the police do? Hope you are ok and got back to refereeing? I cannot stress my opinion enough: Assaults on referees...

I'm 19, why do you ask?

Just got an out of the blue appointment via email, there was no application process. Rise park LFC v mansfield hosiery mills LFC

Just been appointed to a women's fa cup match as assistant referee. Is that normal for a level 7? Anyone got the same?

Hi all, thanks for your replies, I hope if it does happen I will have the presence of mind to think about what was said here. Killing the game I was slightly uneasy about at first because it may mean giving fouls that aren't fouls. But as you have pointed out match control should get the...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Trying to "kill the game" is certainly a good option, and positioning is something I have given much consideration to and will implement as best I can.

Don't think that's particularly fair, by having the mindset that they could happen surely I am better, not worse prepared for it if it did and having some guidance from other referees as to what can be done to avoid it and deal with it will put me in better stead to react appropriately, please...
