    Back On The Grid

    Been off the grid for a while, enforced by injury. Damaged both ankle flexors in my left foot last April and have been unable to referee since. Have been doing observing and match day coaching and got a pass from the FA for this season. Happily (and don't want to speak too soon), I'm starting...

    First Red Card

    Came up on one of my social media memories that 8 years ago today, I issued my first ever red card as a referee. Violent Conduct from the player, as he got up from a tangle he stamped on the player on the ground. I remember calling him over, pulling the red out and promptly dropping it at his...

    General Behaviour Getting Worse

    This happened in the supply league I referee on (Step 5) and I’ve done both teams this season. On the same day, in the same division another game was abandoned by the referee due to an ‘incident’ (I know the details but they are not public domain so won’t comment). We also have had the...

    Pitch conditions

    This was the state of the pitch for my Contrib line at 1.45. Away team had left at 9.45 to travel and were not best pleased. Rain stopped at 2pm - by kick off at 3, it was soft with no standing water and by half time it was like it had never rained. Away side were especially happy with a 94th...

    Open Age Corner Flag

    Step 6 middle yesterday. Local derby 2nd v 12th. First half was dreadful really poor quality and 0-0 at half time. Second half home team right winger scores an absolute worldie from the right hand side of the penalty area, long crossfield ball that he runs onto and strikes into the top...

    Barnsley v Forest

    Forest's second goal last night. AR far side flags Johnson offside, then is clearly told to put the flag down. Cue a bit of confusion, but the right result with the goal being awarded in the end.

    Going To The Dark Side...

    After completing a practical workshop and submitting a sample report, today I got confirmed as joining my local Observer Panel. Looking forward to trying to fit in some 7-6 observations over the course of this season and do my bit to help up and coming referees reach their potential. Was a...

    Referee Retention - Open Letter

    Saw this posted and the follow-up video. Big drop off in numbers of referees in the game and I'm sure it's not just limited to North Riding. https://www.northridingfa.com/news/2021/sep/09/an-open-letter

    Competition Rules Are Important

    A stark warning that not knowing the specific competition rules can have serious consequences, in this case a replayed FA Cup fixture with a lot of disruption for all involved. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.devonlive.com/sport/free-hit-brixham-referees-blunder-5777837.amp

    Team GB v Aus

    Managed to catch normal time of the QF game today. Wasn’t overly impressed by the referee. She seemed late on a lot of decisions. Not managed to catch much of the football in the tournament, however did expect a better standard of refereeing at this stage in the competition.

    Open Age After almost 8 years - It's Over!

    Pre season friendly tonight and had my first ever 0-0. Come close before but the teams tonight could have played until next preseason and still not scored!

    Old Firm Send Off

    Game is 0-0 and referee sends Celtic player off for DOGSO. Neil Lennon thinks it's wrong because he believes Ajer will get back to cover. For me I think it's the right decision, don't see the defender getting back, distance and control boxes are also ticked. Only minor question mark for me...

    First Postponement Of The Season!

    Was really looking forward to my first competitive Step 6 middle as a L4 today. Got a call last night that one of the teams have returned positive Covid tests so the game is off. I’m guessing this is going to be the “new normal”
