    WHU v LEE

    I’m not a happy Leeds fan here 😂 Surely a high boot and was surprised with 11 mins

    PAL v LEE

    I don’t understand what the yellow is for either. Doesn’t look reckless and it only stoped a promising attack because the referee didn’t play advantage

    Women's FA Cup - sin bins?

    Thank you! I was sent the rules but I can’t see any mention whatsoever of sin-bins or temporary dismissals. I’ve found info about extra time but just nothing on sin-bins. I assume I’m just massively overlooking it but any help is appreciated

    Women's FA Cup - sin bins?

    I've got my first FAWC game on Sunday, which I cannot wait for! Are sin-bins in use? I've looked through the rules and there are no mention of sin-bins or temporary dismissals, so just want to make sure. Thanks!

    4-3W AR Appointments

    Yeah I’m hoping that’s the case. Not Southern Counties, but Eastern, which is probably about the same thing - mostly Thurlow Nunn and Isthmian U18s under the lights. Mostly as a back up if I’m struggling for games

    FPL 25/26

    Perhaps my proudest moment of the season in 24/25

    4-3W AR Appointments

    Going for 3W this season. Does anyone know whether the 15 lines (including 5 Women's games) must be open-age? I note that for the 15 middles, it specifies open-age/adult games, but this is not mentioned for the lines. I'm missing most of September and potentially April, so looking at how I can...

    Feral U18's

    Exactly this. When I played youth, we never had neutral appointed refs, and I recall no more than 5 yellows throughout U7s to U17s. Since refereeing, I’ve thought how many things would’ve been yellows or reds, but just never got given. Also had the same feeling when I occasionally referee...

    Cardiff vs Leeds

    Thoughts on this? I’m a Leeds fan, but try not to be biased… I think this is a great decision. The commentator thought Cardiff were really hard done by because of this. For me, it’s only being debated because he’s got up and tried to carry on. If the foul doesn’t happen, it’s essentially a 2...

    EURO 2024 Final - Spain V England

    Referee was really good tonight. Utterly confused at the apparent directive of not exceeding added time. The ball can’t have been in play for more than 1 1/2 minutes out of the 4

    Promotions - Season Ending 2024

    Got my 5 earlier on in the season but have been massively underwhelmed. The abundance of 5s in my county (probably due to the easier promotions) has meant too many 5s for the amount of senior games. I’ve been doing the same as I was as a 7. After speaking with a few people, I’m hoping next...

    Why explaining decisions probably won't make any difference

    I don’t see the point. All they’re doing is explaining the outcome, which is going to happen anyway. It’d be helpful if they explained the process and reasoning, although I highly doubt fans will be willing to listen and accept it anyway

    Middlesbrough v Leeds

    To be fair, it just looks like incredible timing that Bamford is perfectly blocking the AR’s view. With James, it looks like a broken rib. He went down the tunnel straight away with the medical staff after staying on the floor after the FT whistle. However, I was surprised more time wasn’t...

    Women's pathway or Level 4?

    What about refereeing women’s games? Is it 10?
