had a very good game this evening, very competitive and had both teams been able to finish it would have been much closer than the final 3-1 score line Anyway I had an incident of OFFINABUS today from the away team goalkeeper who turned and rather loudly shouted “you f&@cking *****” at an...

I apologies in advance as this will be a bit of a rant thread but I really have no where else to vent After taking around 2 years out, I've returned to refereeing. A decent pre season has got me up to match speed and yesterday was my first competitive fixture. Now this fixture is notorious for...

I’ve incorrectly purchased 2 x referee shirts in size 2xl They are too big and I’m looking to move them on to anyone who is interested BNWT £40 + postage (each)

Just going through areferee.com, I know some of the questions/answers are wrong but this one is confusing A substituted player just got a water bottle from the assistant coach. An opponent walks on the field of play before the bench. The substituted player throws the water bottle at him. The...

Not really after any advice but my game sunday gave me an opportunity to "appreciate" one of the new laws. The game itself was going quite well, decent banter between two sides albeit a little one sided. Then, what i thought was a harmless miskick, caught me square in the gentlemans area...

Gave a penalty in my game saturday, unfortunately it was on the opposite side to my NAR. However, striker entered penalty area and cross the ball. I divert eyes to follow path of ball and then look back to see the remains of a late challenge from the CB. I didn't see the point of impact but...

Think I missed a caution on saturday for Dangerous play but as I was lucky enough to have NAR's this week one thought i got it spot on the other said he would have cautioned so wanted to get some clarity. Reds v Greens in an evenly contested affair. High Ball from Greed defence heading towards...

Sunday league game, Two players 1 from grey 1 from blue get thier handbags out, its clear AA at worst with no actual punches just bluster and bravado but 3/4 grey team fans run on the pitch to get involved and as a result blue team player gets his shirt ripped. still no punches just chesty...

Been reading on on the LoTG and law 12 has the following RESTART OF PLAY AFTER FOULS AND MISCONDUCT If the ball is out of play, play is restarted according to the previous decision. If the ball is in play and a player commits a physical offence inside the field of play against: an opponent –...

Think I missed a mandatory caution yesterday, pen awarded to the blue team as the bule player goes to place the ball on the penalty mark a grey player walks by and appers to deliberately scuff it. I walked over to the penalty mark and couldnt see anything so any damage was minor so decided...

Obviously dissent is subjective and everyone will have a different limit but I had a situation in my fixture on saturday which I want to reflect on. Almost half time, probably around the 42/43 minute mark and a blue player (9) in the penalty area goes to challenge for the ball with the red GK...

Bit of a random post to be honest. Been refereeing for 4 years or so recently promoted to L5 and was on the promotion track to get to Level 4. I had been really enjoying my refereeing and have "achieved" quite a lot in my short time including appointments to FA Vase, FA Cup, Cup Finals, League...

After a 6 week absence due to injury and a small health scare, thankfully given the all clear, I am back out in the middle this weekend. Fitness will no doubt be a minor issue but hopefully its like riding a bike!! Hopefully I am still on track to get my 6-5 promotion, I need 1 more...

Local derby in the top division of the local sunday league so always likely to be a competitive affair. Away side leading 2-1 with around 8 minutes to go, two players go up for a ball and a clash of heads occurs. I stop play and get the player treated and get everyone to restart via drop ball...

Yellow v blue today; blue tackled and feels it’s a foul, I don’t so blue player runs at me telling me how frustrated he is. I take a couple of steps back to give him breathing space but he continues forward. At this point it’s An easy YC for dissent so I blow the whistle to stop the game to...

First off, I thought the old way of observers hiding was a thing of the past but apparently not as today I was observed and I only realised he was there when I saw his car pull up after the game Anyway, mostly a good observation although one comment that came up was checking the substitutes...

After a short 2 week layoff due to injury I have been given an AR appointment which is quite nice and means I’m easing myself back in However, I have an issue with the referee appointed to the game. I have no personal issue with him, he’s always been a pleasant chap during any interaction but...

I did very few fixtures during preseason although did keep my fitness up throughout the summer. However, this weekend I picked up an injury. The injury occurred after my fixture Saturday and knowing I had a game Sunday morning I called the ref sec on the way home to advise him its unlikely I...

Had a couple of questions today about a law change and thought I would get some clarity from my colleagues on Refchat. What is the law change regarding players leaving the fop after an injury?

Had an incident today; Red v blue Red player heading towards corner flag in opposite corner to the blue CAR he is being closed down by a blue defender and I am running toward and looking directly at them. The very next moment a red player runs right across my eyeline so all I see is a ugly...
