You will need to leave at around 15.30 to get there in time for the National Anthems, because of the New Forest fire🔥😁

I only need to access it to see who is where🤔😂

I haven't got access to the "Fixture Search" facility so far this season. I can enter the competition name, but not dates. It also doesn't give me access to club details. All of that was available last season. I have reported it to MOAS but no reply yet.

Make sure before the game that the coaches know that a player is going off if you stop play or have to delay the restart. Encourage them not to scream "Ref, Ref!" because a player is down injured/possibly injured. Cooperation is mutually beneficial😁

Law 5 allows you as the referee to decide whether the restart has been delayed. In this instance, perhaps not necessary to make the player go off(?) The referee . . . stops play only if a player is seriously injured and ensures that the player is removed from the field of play. An injured...

In that case, gets another 60 seconds to recover (IMHO)

How long was the delay to the restart?

Neuro divergence can be considered for mitigation, but should be supported by evidence from a health professional. Did the player accept the charge?

I have flagged it up with The FA, as match officials and Observers need just one hymn sheet.

Take the belt and braces approach - inform the FA case officer of the facts, but copy in your County FA as they will wish to contact the club.

I would set @JamesL on the Scottish FA . . . 😅

Whilst supporting the view that 6 substitutes should be permitted when extra time occurs, the competition rule could be read as five must be in the 90 minutes, then one additional in extra time.

Haven't seen anything new, so remains at referee's discretion when temperature is 25° or more in England.

That would give @Big Cat a better chance of refereeing the final, perhaps. Or the sponsors may do without European referees(?) An interesting power struggle! Meanwhile the Wessex League are planning how to avoid the need to follow No10 to Manchester . . .

When the leagues with "rolling subs" start, we will see some interesting scenarios 😁
