Saw this on a different forum... Apologies if it's already been shown but fair play to the referee ... :) :cool:

RIP Your Majesty. It's been an honour to serve and meet you. "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense".

A & H used to do a nice black one of these (before they closed). Really useful bit of kit for Observers, emblazoned with the FA Logo on the front. Searched for a bit on the net but there doesn't seem to be anywhere/one else that does them. Anybody on here got any idea as to where I might find...

Heard on the grapevine yesterday that the FA are going to do what they considered a few seasons ago (but didn't) and dispense with the current Levels 7 and 6 promotion schemes. Something about going straight to Level 5 but being categorised as 5a, 5b, 5c etc. Anybody out there more clued up on...

Esteemed members, Is there an updated definitive guide anywhere that gives the laws/rules for the above? I'm talking U15/16 age group 5/6/7-a-side type stuff. The only FA guide I can find is dated from 2014-15 season? Grateful any pointers please. :)

Been trying to do this on the FA Learning Site Today. Logged in with FAN, clicked the "start course" tab and I'm presented with the 5 Module boxes to undertake chronologically. Every time I try to click on or load Module 1, it just says "Not available unless etc". :( My 2 previous...

Happy St George's Day everyone. 🙂 Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire. I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant...

Word on the street is that Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham have all signed up to it. Real controversy. What are the members thoughts?

We've discussed this subject on more than one occasion on here before I know. Most of us are of the opinion that only sports glasses or goggles intended for use in contact sport are permissible, even though it's not enshrined as such within the wording of Law 4. I rarely do kid's games but was...

I can no longer survive on the pittance that grass roots refereeing provides. I'm about to move into the big time doing what I love and do best. 20% discount for existing RefChat members. Book now and avoid the rush. You know you want to. :):cool:

Just heard from my County (Army) FA that the rest of the season is effectively binned. (No surprises really). Anybody else had anything from their County FA's yet?

Ever bluffed your way out of a tight spot/bad decision on the field? I have, luckily. :D Thought I'd share with you an incident which took place for me a few weeks back. County League Premier Division match. Tight game, atrocious weather, the score is 0-0 at half time and there have been no...

Got one coming up this Saturday. :oops: Both open-age. 1pm kick off followed by a 3.30pm kick off (same venue). Both 90 mins, both full match fee. At age 54, it's gonna test the old hamstrings somewhat and my sometimes dodgy Achilles but it seems there's a bit of a referee shortage in our...

Okay, just wanted a bit of constructive input on something that occurred on my match on Saturday because I'm not sure if I did the right thing or not. Feisty game, plenty of physicality, some legal, some not. Home team 2-0 down at half time. Away team take their foot off the gas second half...

Anybody feel the 1st goal should have been ruled out for a foul on Jones?

Come on Chelsea!! :D

Maybe I'm being a bit thick (in which case - feel free to slag me off in the usual but polite manner :D ) but, having read the amendment to the above, I'm still unsure as to what option is to be given to the team that "loses" the toss. It's clear that we now give the option of either choosing...

Happened to me in an OA match this weekend. 12 mins to go and, having just dismissed A3 for a Kung Fu challenge on H7, as I'm watching him walk across the field to the changing rooms before restarting play with the DFK one of the home teams shouts "See you later Big Nose!" There were no howls...

From first whistle to first free kick - 19 mins 28 seconds. How often do you see that at any level - let alone the EPL?!! :cool:

As a ref, I was forced to explain, "It's not me, it's the Laws Of The Game" "So please shut your gob, get on with YOUR job, And kindly let me do the same". Just a bit of light-hearted fun you understand. ;):cool: Anybody else feel up to throwing something together? I know you're out there .... :D
