Hi all I know there are threads on pre match briefings with ARs. However, I was wondering what people brief their Neutral ARs in relation to penalties specifically, do you allow them to get involved in the decision process? How? When? I have experienced a lot of different ways of doing...

Incident - Injured player for Team A and a free kick. Physio comes on player goes off. Some of Team B players stand at the side of pitch to get a drink 2-4 players max. We are ready to go Team A put ball down I blow whistle and off we go, I then notice the 2-4 players still at the side of...

Hi all I wondered if people do any summer tournaments? If not why not? And What is the best way to go about finding some to get involved with? Thanks

You are also 16 so he has assaulted a child.

As @OldNavyRef eluded to as well .. you have to be a great people person.. you come across people from all walks of life. A willingness to learn and take on board things and a high level of emotional intelligence will help! Some people it’s their way or no way. Some will deliberately throw you...

People on here more qualified to answer that than me.. however I have keenly followed all of the answers on this to make sure I know what I am signing myself up for.. In short yes .. more to loyal time out of house… earlier arrival time, longer travelling and stay after game etc .. for...

If it helps .. I qualified when I was young but I stopped and have recently just taken up refereeing again. I’m now 32 years old. I have done two seasons now and went for promotion from 7-5 in this time. I said to myself that I wouldn’t rush it but I wanted to push myself so I was challenged...

Do you HAVE to be available midweek for 5 to 4 or at level 4? At least once a month?

Try being a teacher! Nothing wrong with what you said in my opinion. Did you put the safety and wellbeing of the child at risk? No.

I had an issue today where an adult from the away side following a goal against his side shouted at my NAR ‘****ing Joke’. I went over to him and he was standing next to the manager. I asked the manager if he was a named club official or not. He said no. So I said that he needs to leave the...

Let me apply some context then. Attacker has a close shot 10/15 yards out goalkeeper is well placed to make a save. Defender between attacker and goalkeeper (on six yard line) falls backwards to block shot in a goalkeeper like motion and ball hits his chest and then arm which is slightly out...

Yellow card for the tackle so didn’t require to. Yes, I should have noticed them but I didn’t. So I moved into position and blew whistle for kick to be taken and it happened quickly. I then noticed as they were complaining but too late technically in law to then stop the game and restart...

Injury happens to player on red team, physio comes on. Treatment is over it’s a free kick to red team. I blow whistle and plays starts, I then realise there are 4 players from green team having a drink on the sidelines. Red team go through and score. Could I have done anything different...

If the keeper is in the vicinity and could potentially make a save surely it can only potentially be DOGSO .. my point is, if the keeper is likely to make a save had the handball not occurred does that not make it a red card. Or is it irrelevant what the keeper may or may not have done as you...

So .. if the goalkeeper was likely to save it .. no red card? And if so.. how is this different to a ‘last man’ tackle outside the area when the goalkeeper is still to beat and could save the ball
