NWP need to be all over it. Simple as.

Exact same for me. Very good boots for poor pitches too. Find they grip well and don't roll my ankles with them. Not forking out on another pair right now though

I think it's the sideways motion of lining that has done mine in, was really disappointed when my £130 Adidas pair went, felt copped out on tbh.

Same happens with Allison/Kelleher and AT does this, what do you say? I know your answer will be ‘the same’ - but in practice, I severely doubt it. I know for a fact I am not able to watch Wales’ games impartially, nor Swansea games to any great extent.

I honestly think that the quality of boots all round has decreased rapidly past few seasons. I’ve split 3 pairs in 2 seasons now, including Adidas Predators…

On the technicality he stops for the injury, is he incorrect in law to restart with a dropped ball? Many injuries aren’t apparent, and while in this case the GK wasn’t writhing in pain, he has taken a knock potentially, and AT has applied the LOTG in such a way where he has stopped play and...

Ive seen the incident when it first happened. Don’t remember too clearly where Gakpo was - but regardless of this, AT is going to catch heat whatever way he goes. In this instance he has applied the spirit of the law, and that’s gone against Liverpool. Let’s open an inquest? To say what - a...

Go down like a sack spuds for 4 seasons straight and refs start to catch on

The worst offender of this is the instruction ‘press’, always make me turn my head

I'm from Alty neck of the woods and none of the Sunday Leagues here are any more (although to my knowledge the Alty Sunday League itself ceased, and only runs in summer). NW U18 and U21 aren't, and Manchester League hasn't been for considerable time.

From NW myself - will never line them up below Step 6, and will either observe as they warm up, or check as I count 11 a piece at the start of a half. Lining up would just be suicide, respect gone before KO.

Welcome :) With 50 years on your side, your expertise won’t go amiss, and you’ll figure out which refs are from your side of the pond!! Enjoy it, and look forward to hearing what you have to say :D

Money talks, once again

You’ve said for L4 and above. That means the L4s I’ve worked with should’ve been told they can’t contact the observer, surely?

When I’ve been observed on Step 5/6 lines, every observer has once again closed their debrief saying we can text or call in the event of any issues. Says it to the Ref (L4) as well as assistants
