Like the sound of this, will try during a rare period where I have time between games

Got both the new shirt and shorts. The shirt fits exactly the same as the 22-26 kit for me, but the shorts are huge compared the old ones. Had to send back and size down in the shorts, and even in the size down I'm still having to tie the waistband so it holds in place. Big downgrade from before imo

Following The FA's email to all level 2-4s today announcing that the free kit provided will no longer be happening for the upcoming season, I wanted to point those interested in the direction of https://www.afarefereeshop.com/shop where you can get the new shirt and shorts for under £60!

I think a lot will depend on if Nike stay on beyond 2030 as the England national team kit provider. Its clear The FA like these things to be aligned, so I can see them sticking with Nike on the refereeing side if England stay with Nike

Tried it for the first time this season and won't look back. Find it so much more comfortable, and less blisters. Not to mention that the toe area on the Nike socks is awful and only lasts a few months so this solves that problem

Hi, I believe I have these in Large and would be willing to part with

Yes, you'd be reclassified to 4W and have to go on the pathway again. This season was the final season where the fitness test wasn't required before going on the pathway, whereas next season you have to do the fitness test first (like 5-4) so you can no longer do 4W-3W without passing the...

Decent end of season sale at www.afarefereeshop.com if anyone is interested and doesn't want to pay the crazy prices at refstop and a&h

I hear you. Only thing I would say is that the time between the foul, the shot and it going wide was genuinely about one second (two at most!) so hard to make a call in such a big moment about whether the chance is better than the penalty with such little time between incidents. For what its...

Had an interesting scenario in my game this weekend and I'm hoping someone can help find a clip of a previous time this has happened. Striker is one on one with the keeper in the box, takes the ball round him and gets fouled by the keeper. The loose ball instantly drops to another striker who...

Yes 😂
