Evening all, Been reffing for a few years now but got my first 7-6 observation tomorrow. May sound like a silly question, but would I get pulled up for substitution procedure? Match is 7 out 7 rolling subs. I always make sure player entering field waits until player leaves the field, also...

With new FA refereeing strategy being published, there’s also been talk of introducing a direct AR route from Level 5 going forward, as opposed to the route now which is after 3 seasons at level 4 (correct me if I’m wrong). Not sure wether this would be a good thing, but ideal for people who...

Hello all, Just a quick one from yesterday. I done a Supply league line and was senior due to the other linesman being 17 and having only done a couple of lines before. I’ve had about 15 games or so under my belt so always pretty confident. Yesterday was one of the worst I’d had in terms of...

Evening all, Does anybody know what the AR match fees are roughly from say National League up to League 1 level (before hitting SG). Was discussing this at work today with 2 lads who are both level 4 & 3 referees and at what level people would consider going part time etc to further their...

Evening all, I know this has been briefly covered before, but does anyone know how I can access information about the direct L4 AR route that has been introduced? Apparently it got changed from L3 to L4 2 years ago, however I can only see 1 small article online on ref support about it and my...

Evening all, I quit refereeing back in 18/19 due to work commitments but thinking about getting back into it. Am I right in thinking I’ll have to ‘start again’ with the course and initial 5 games etc or is there a way or re registering? Also, back in 18/19 season, it was my understanding that...

Just thought I’d run this past everyone to see what you think. It’s my 3rd season refereeing OA football on a Sunday and I’m also going for the 7-6 jump. Although I think the rest of my refereeing Is decent, I still seem to struggle with offsides in games with no AR’s on a Sunday. Ball will...

I know this has been mentioned a couple of times before but thought I’d bring it up anyway. Howcome in the system there isn’t a direct promotion route for people who only want to A/R? I’ve been refereeing for around 2 years now and I’m not too bad, but don’t enjoy it as much as the line...

After reading up on alot of promotion related threads, one thing I've come across alot is how things become more demanding when you reach L4. Is there really much difference in terms of the amount of middles/lines you would do at say L5?

Finally getting the first one out the way tomorrow. Local U18 relegation six pointer. What can possibly go wrong! Nervous to say the least but looking forward to it. Hopefully the training over the past 3-4 weeks has paid off and I won't be blowing out my backside after 20 mins!

Evening all, I think I seen something similar to this a while back but can;t seem to find it. Does anyone know what the rough match fees are (both middles and lines) for each of the levels and their respective leagues. I believe someone posted a one that went up to Championship level. Thanks.

Evening all, I'm about to undertake my referee course in the next couple of weeks and just wanted to know about availability and if that has an impact on promotion etc. I tend to work weekend on/weekend off and straight away halves the amount of games I can ref. Are you able to pick and choose...
