Thats what I said, if thats how it is in your area, so be it
Technically, it's an assistant nominated by the clubs. Hence the suggestion made before about asking the clubs if they'd like to nominate these two guys I've turned up with, which I think would be totally within league rules, and certainly something that some clubs would go along with.And forgive my apparent lack of expertise on this but if CAR is Club assistant then, no, two pals or a 12 yo son are not club?
CAR to me implies supplied by the club. Surely in the name of consistancy if you are duty bound to use CAR then they are club supplied.
The clue being in their title.
I really think you should wind your neck in on this one. That's in the opinion of this referee, no offence intended.What purpose would a friend holding a flag at a U11 serve?
If you cant keep up with play enough to see ball in and out of play at an U11 game then I stand by my comments, come back when your fitness level has improved because even at that age, if a team are paying money for your services, they deserve someone who can keep up with play
Offside, same, you be lucky if any of the players can kick a ball more than 30 yards when its moving, nevermind from a dead ball
If you scared you cant judge offside yourself in a U11 match then again, I accept saying "resign" is harsh, but, come back when you are more confident in your own ability
Its U11. There is, or should be, no reason why you be more than 12 yards away from the ball at any given time and no reason why you cant get a wide angle to detect offsides. Having "friends" on the line will just hinder your development, go do what you qualified to do and referee on your own merits.
Can't be my game that Arsenal kit clashes, they'd have to wear bibs.......View attachment 1493
I offered to be Mintys AR but he said he was fine on his own!!! They even gave him his own shirt!!!

Just out of order.
Nothing mentioned in the op about fitness or keeping up with play. Something you have introduced and even then a pound would get you ten that even you could be out of position to accurately judge an offside even if they are under eleven year old players.
The concept of non disclosure checked people taking part in an organised official league game of football is alien to me, that's why I ask
You can't be DBS checked until you are 16, so all officials below that age are non disclosure checked people.
Harsh? Your opinion has stepped way beyond the original post. A question was asked and answered then you have waded in implying that this inexperienced referee is not up to the task.Wind my neck in! Because my opinion seems harsh! A better retort would simply be to say you disagree.
Exactly.As an aside from the above.......Just because someone has had a CRB / DBS check it doesn't mean they are 'safe', there are many examples of teachers and even sports instructors and coaches, all of which would have 'passed' all the CRB / DBS criteria who've rightly being jailed for a variety of activities!
one example... http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-primary-school-head-teacher-13628253
Its absolute folly to think otherwise!!! These are clever people who do stuff not to get caught!!
Really? I think I have every right to attempt redress for the implied slur on a very inexperienced new referee and member of this forum. Unless you'd care to take up the mantle?Very thin ice chaps. Very thin
So you wouldn't be offended by your post I have repeated below?And there is no slur. It is my honest opininon that if you need CAR at U11 level then no, I personally do not feel you are yet capable of officiating
If you are duty bound to use them, thats different to needing to officiate with them
I bloody would be and I'd also be offended on your behalf!if you need CAR at an U11 game then just resign your badge now and admit its not your thing
