Evening all, Took a game on today, which was a women's open aged fixture. Game went ok with the exception of some women, whom I think was the secretary of the home team. After 80minutes with the home team losing 1-0 she shouts to me "your an f***ing joke ref" all because I didn't give a foul...

Just a question for advice. I referee in different leagues and normally work alone. But one league I'm in we go out as a three. My question is, as a referee how can I make my assistants feel part of the team and respected more. I usually offer them lifts before the game and also do my usual...

Think you've gota book them all. You explained that they can't come on and the haven't listening to you. Make them look the fool not you.

Its a really good point because players what a referee to be fair and use common sense. If you listen to an assessor and apply to rules fully to the laws of the game then players do resent that. At lower levels I think a bit of common sense doesn’t hurt but if you want to progress in the game...

I did a school's final a couple of seasons ago and the abuse I got from the PE teacher was a joke. It really shocked me that a teacher could act in that way. You should ask him: Was you asking me to bend the rules because I'm are a student? Disgraceful sir, you really some know better! :)

Good reading. How do you feel about the comment of lower your tolerance level? I understand what he's saying but this can sometimes be hard to put into practice. We are only Human.

Like everyone else has said, go what what suits you best. Personnally I use the finger grip and find it great altought in the cold winter months your figures do get abit numb from been held together for so long.

Just wondering. Do you carry a whistle in each hand?

I had this happen to me about a month ago. I called one kick only - No rebounds, so all the players knew beforehand. The goal was scored anyway. :cool:

I had similar to you this week. I had three games on Sunday, which I don't normally do. My last two games were fine but in my first game I awarded a penalty which was probably outside the box. I think I reacted to quickly and didn't want to change my decision. Fortunately for me the penalty was...

Suppose we should lead by example. Hate seeing players wearing gloves all the time :) Will look into sports direct and under armour. :cool:

Hi all, I’ve been going short sleeve all season, but with December hitting us I think its time to wear some extra layers. Don’t know about you but my hands get that cold I can’t even write on the match report forms by the end of the game. I was wondering if there are any good gloves us refs can...

Just ordered mine. Should get it in time for when i join my new league. :D
