Looking for help in promoting the Facebook page of our local RA that I have set up. Could if possible people like and share the page. Be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt https://www.facebook.com/pages/South-Devon-Referees-Association/409868642537962

I had an incident where I'd raised flag for offside, not been seen for small while but continued with flag. Before id been noticed a fowl was committed and awarded to the attacking side (defender cautioned too) I put flag back down as play had clearly continued. But defending team have been...

Ok so is it ok to call the referee (either shouting him by name or shouting ref) if your flagging but have been seen??

Lee Probert looked tired from minute 1. Maybe nerves zapped his energy or maybe after a long season its fatigue. I think he would have been in a better position to justify the penalty decisions had he been fully fit. Fitness makes refereeing so much easier!

Hes a friend of the manager @Supermonkey Don posted this on the league forum which can be seen at http://pub16.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=1357947157&frmid=6&msgid=0 I like to take this opportunity to give you an update I like to thank referees, clubs and friends for there...

I've spoken to Don and with his permission I'll post his response statement he sent me.

Basically on Thursday night the player was sent off but refused to leave the pitch and threatened the referee, so the match was abandoned. Saturday the same player was given a yellow card for mouthing off at different ref, he continued to swear and abuse the ref. So as he reached for the red...

My friend and fellow referee was yesterday attacked by a player. Im shocked!! I'll post you how it happened but mean while here it is from the BBC. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-27274873

Pull the two captains together after the sending off and tell them in basic terms that it wont be tolerated. Tell them that its up to them to manage their players, if they want to act like that then thats fine, but you will deal with them if they do. Put the responsibility on them. You...

You can now appeal. New for this season

Thanks for the feedback guys. Im glad im not the only one who read is a really good assessment but the marks not reflecting what was written. I too was disappointed to only get 2 development points. Not going to appeal the report because at the end of the day i got the mark i needed for...

Here is my first one of my promotion. Got the mark i needed but did feel they were a little low. Any thoughts? Removed team names and assessor name

Pass mark was 25 out of 35. Yes in one I put it as an indirect free kick instead of direct. In the other was to do with a player entering the field of play. I didn't fully read the question. Not a difficult exam at all

Passed with 33/35. Phew

They always seem like trick questions to me. Plus you start doubting yourself when it comes to it.

7-6 exam tonight. How difficult can it be ?!

dam voted wrong, option c

Would never get away with this! Complete lack of respect.

Unfortunately it's easier to find video's of refs getting it wrong. As we all know that the makers of such bbc highlights programmes, commentators and pundits know absolutely nothing about refereeing.

No worries (not feeling at all ignored) Yeah so basically a section where we can talk about our RA meetings. What we discussed, guest speakers. We could share how the meetings go what we've discussed and what we could take to our own to make them better. Just an idea.
