What is wrong with groups of workers standing up for their rights and bargaining over terms and conditions? It actually shows strength in the conviction to stand up to try to change something perceived to be wrong and push for an improvement in the workplace.

Well - having digested the awful news from Tunisia - I'd like to pay tribute to Joel Richards. I knew Joel personally - he helped out refereeing many of the BUCS League fixtures on a Wednesday afternoon for me (in my position as Referees Appointments Officer) at the University of Worcester. A...

Dammit - I enjoyed going around cautioning all those who took their shirts off to swap after a shootout ;)

As lincs said - this was the correct positioning for a corner back then. It made more sense for corners on the opposite side - as the Linesman would then cover anything happening on the back post - and their presence there would make the players hopefully think twice before doing anything. The...

When I did my exam back in 1995 - one of our group failed the exam. The instructors took the individual back in - and ran through the wrong answers with him to answer again - coaching him as they went along. He came out with a pass mark.

Just be prepared for comments from players when they feel you're not performing well during a game...

This is very similar to the ESPN Axis system that has been used in NFL and College Football Coverage in the USA for the past few years.

Play on - corner has been taken in accordance with Law I'd be stopping play as it's intended to deceive the opposition - without the shout - defenders should be coming across to close down anything - with the shout - they will think "he's not taken it yet" and won't bother to go across -...

Not as far as I know - the halfway line is a "neutral zone"

Over the last couple of games I've officiated in on the British American Football Senior National League - we've been using a set of comms kit. http://www.baofengradio.co.uk/2016-bf-888s-plus-5pcs/ It's a set of the above radios that are clipped onto the belt (as we wear trousers with a belt...

@one - if you have cautioned the same player twice but not dismissed him in-game - and you have his name confirmed, plus he was the same player you dished out two cards for - send in the reports to the FA as usual with a covering letter stating that you made an error and did not dismiss (aka...

FA Guidance: Following the recent increase of cases that relate to Social Networking sites, we would like to issue this memo, as a reminder to all participants, that any comment they make which is offensive, threatening, violent or that is deemed to have brought the game into disrepute will...

13 a-side Course The full 13 a-side course is available in venues across the country and ran over one day or two sessions. The course costs £25 or £12.50 for Under-16s and combines both practical and theoretical elements to give participants a developed understanding of the international laws...

If this happened in one of my games in the past - I would have setup a beach chair at the side of the pitch - cracked open a beer and let them pass out the last five minutes without disturbing me

I've been using a product that may prove popular amongst football referees - a different take on the pencil. They're called "Bullet Pencils" - and as you can see - the actual pencil bit is stored inside the barrel when not being used - so they are about the size of an Ikea pencil when not...

Even the best in the world make similar errors - Terje Hauge in the Arsenal vs. Barcelona Champions League Final springs to mind...

Any 3i promotions?

As everyone knows - you can get anything you want in Llansamlet...

If you have a VPN setup in the browser then you can get around that. www.HotspotShield.com is the one I use ;-)

The actor who played "The Ambassador" (the one who says "Excellente!") in those classic adverts is an actor called Wolf Kahler. He also played the part of Dietrich - one of the Nazis who melt when they open the Ark in the Indiana Jones film. And he is also one of the presenters on the German...
