I got L6 last week too. At 57 it's about pride more than anything but I'm well pleased to get it in as I had a month off injured. I did a few finals too, as AR, enjoyed them. No more babies for us, mine are 18 & 20 😁

As a town fan Id have been happy with him, us refs know we are impartial to the core, despite what some team managers think!

I agree. Player name first, card second. Why would an observer have an opinion on this? Seems simple enough either way

Had this the other week. Goalie booked early in match, was very angry and wouldn't give name. I'd booked him for AA and then as he carried on ranting about a pen decision I sin-binned him. Got his name at full time after he'd cooled down. It all evens out in the end.,...

No, I'd only ever hold a restart if asked to for laces

Isn't it by late Tuesday after a weekend game?

Cheers that's good advice. I don't do a lot of U18 really but it's the first time this has been challenged and setting the time pre-game is a great idea.

Had it today with a pen for handball. GK runs up shouting it's the same as an earlier hb I didn't give (arm natural position) and is raging. Basically I give him a yellow for USB and then, 20 secs later, sin bin as he is still going on about my 'mistake' This despite engaging captain to calm him...

Funny one, losing coach was complaining I wasn't correct in allowing a retake of a foul throw. U12s, both teams guilty of it. What's the verdict?😁

I've only ever abandoned one match for a wet pitch which turned into a swimming pool at half time owing to biblical rain 🌧️

Good to know as I'm 21 games in but gonna struggle to hit 25

It rolls to a player who is almost stationary, def stop and red at that point

On my course advice was "Mickey Mouse is it? Is that what you really want me to submit to the league?" "OK then..."

Not only do the players fight, some hero runs on to give a player a whack. Disgusting behaviour. Not my game fortunately but I did these 2 teams back in early season and red team got 2 reds then as well...

Had hail last week but it only lasted 2 or 3 mins so carried on. Then sunshine 🌞. Then rain. Then sunshine 🌞. Funny weather at the moment....
