Hi guys, Sorry my question isn't really about refereeing but since you get a DBS check when you start your refereeing does the FA keep that or will I have it in my possession somewhere? Thanks in advance!

Yeah I thought that to myself reading it back, in a sense it is towards me but not directly spoken to me.

I do agree with you there, I thought I had to give him a yellow because he did it in a sense that he wanted me to hear him and it was loud and I didn't want other players to think they could get away with abusive language directed at me, thank you for your help :)

I appreciate your apology thank you. I believe it was said in the manor so I could hear it and he could let his opinion be known, it wasn't the first time he had been at me either. Throughout the game he had been complaining about decisions I made etc, but I am grateful for your help, thank you.

I didn't know this, I have just posted it above to a reply to Padfoot. Thanks for your help.

Fair enough, thanks for your helpful reply. The other team scored and I was standing next to the centre spot where two players from the other team were conversing, the player very loudly said "This Ref's Fuc**** Sh**" So I showed him the yellow card, much to his surprise which he said shouldn't...

No I don't actually, I'm fairly new to refereeing which is the reason I joined this forum to get help. Not to receive sarcastic comments from people with nothing better to do.

?

And why's that?

Good to hear, thanks

Hi guys, Today I Reff'd a game and I had to caution a player for abusive language toward myself. I asked him for his name and he was very hesitant like he was trying to make something up. After the match I went over to the manager and told him the players number and asked him if the name was...

Hi guys, just an update on the game. It went really well today, and I had to deal with this player, he dived in the box and when I didn't give him the decision (he was the only player to claim a penatly which it certainly wasn't) he then dived on top of the ball and I gave a free kick to the...

Maybe so, after hearing what people had to say I feel like personal experience is the best way forward though.

Hi again guys, Thanks for all your comments and replies, reading them this morning has helped me a lot. I feel as if I didn't explain myself too well through seeing 1 or 2 comments, I am confident and do have confidence in myself, and I enjoy being a referee. I feel I referee games well and...

Thanks for your advice. I do feel like I am lenient because I often feel uncomfortable and intimidated (even though I am older a lot of them are still taller and bigger then me) and sometimes I know what I want to do or say but it just doesn't come out right or I don't have the confidence to do...

Thanks for the replies everyone, The age group I Referee is u16's, I am only a few years older than them so it's a bit of a challenge for me, sometimes I feel like they take this for granted and that they can get away with shouting things etc because I'm a young referee, and to answer the first...

Hi guys. I referee the team same most weekends when they play at home. There's one player that gives me a lot of stick, not necessarily swear words but stuff like "Do your job ref" "You're useless" "Are you watching the game?" Etc. Whenever I try to talk to him he will usually walk away and...

Thanks for reply, Im quite new to refereeing so it's hard for me in some situations, thank you for your help!

I was refereeing U12s this morning, and a team that were 7-2 Up took one of their players off, this player ran off the pitch and started throwing his boots and anything he could find on the floor, He threw the home teams ball into the nearby woods, and then picked up ice and started throwing it...
