I had to abandon my game today. Goalkeeper received two separate blows to the head in the space of 20 minutes. His manager cleared to to carry on the 1st time, I wasn't entirely comfortable with him carrying on. The 2nd time he was down and stayed down leading to an ambulance being called. My...

Yeah that's what I thought but I was told that I couldn't apply for 5-4 until I had become L5 which wouldnt be until after the deadline, therefore meaning it would be March 19 before my 5-4 marking season could begin

I have completed all the requirements for 6-5 promotion and thought that was that but have since been told that it has to go to the county FA council to be granted. I've not heard or read anything that suggested that, is it normal procedure? Also I was hoping to go 5-4 but with the other...

Team is down to 7 players. Their centre back then picks up his 2nd temporary dismissal. Laws says the referee must abandon the game. Is this still the case even if the team still have a substitute they can use?

I have just read this article and i had to check the date, as i thought it was April 1st!

I shortened one this week it was a 18:45 kick off, which was far too late for this week. Spoke to both managers then reminded the captain's at kick off. I was also assessed for this game and my assessor notes in my report that it was a good thing

I went over to him after he realised it had been disallowed and the look on his face was of a resigned one. And it was one of the most apologetic cautions I will give all season!

Last few minutes of a tight cup game away team number 15 scores and wheels away, shirt off round his head. Look over CAR flag up confirming my suspicions off side. Caution for shirt off?

It's okay cos the comentator (Martin keown?) said he was perfectly happy with that tackle!

I had this earlier this season they'd had a former referee walk by and he had said it should be playable. Cue 4 hours later and you could have performed the nutcracker on ice on it. Safe to say I didn't play it

I love Shaggy but he is a very poor commentator, in fact it's a good job they do have Mr Webb because they aren't very law knowledgeable.

Yeah i use these as well. Few extra minutes writing all the names down but worth it.

What's the best way to remove the pencil from the write on card skins. I tried a rubber, water, nail polish remover etc but nothing seems to shift it

Before the kicks start (or indeed during the kicks) can a team swap their current goalkeeper with an out field player who was on the pitch at the end of the game?

With back pain I recommend an osteopath. I had back pain 6 or so years ago and where as an operation sorted it out the osteopath halved the pain in the half hour session whereas the doctors/physios pre op did nothing!
