    Ref position without Assistant Referee

    That was my first assessment, it went well and the Assessor did pick up on my positioning at corners and around the penalty area. Something I need to work on I guess. If you want to be assessed more often in N.I try to get on the regional development group and go to the monthly meetings, this...

    Ref position without Assistant Referee

    Great advice David and CA I appreciate it. Especially penetrating the penalty area in the closing later stages of the game and not setting up the wall on the penalty area line.

    Hi all, I am hoping to get clarification on the positions a referees should take when there are no Assistant referees. I am being assessed soon nd don't want to be marked down on positioning. During the game I try to run the diagonal as much as possible however not always possible due to the...

In my opinion if it helps the game management then the more communication you give the better understanding and relationship players will have with you. At open age adult games, players don't really have an understanding of the...

    Arm staying raised for IFK?

    Hi all, I've recently completed the ref course and passed the test and a bit confused about what is an IFK. Of course back pass to keeper, keeper picks it up, is an obvious one, obstruction another but what else. Surely if a player jumps, charges, pushes, holds an opponent this falls under a...
