Never had any issues with battery, the only issue I get is at a particular venue which has the 4g signal of a nuclear bunker and I can’t get the game to load on my phone. If you have Twitter/X, DM them on there, I always get a really quick response on there!

Cool, was just asking a question. Appreciate the replies… Buon Natale one and all!

Clip doing the rounds on Twitter. Could the referee have blown for the small foul prior seeing the ball was loose and big impact coming? Horrid tackle and chaos ensues…

First game in this comp for me on Sunday. What are people’s thoughts on this competition?

I’m so annoyed…. Failed my abseiling course this morning. can’t believe how badly I let myself down….

I was on an Eastern Counties line last week which would’ve been my first game of 2022, then I caught covid. Ultimately the game was called off anyway. I’m on the line in the same league this weekend, Saturday being my 2nd day of freedom, absolutely can’t wait! I’ve got 5 (4x line and 1x...

Am gonna read it today on the plane, will let you know what I think!

Thanks @JamesL, very useful feedback from you. I’ve been called far worse than a clown in my line of work, so for me it was easy to brush off, it was more a case of knowing where I stood if there was a next time and the abuse was worse.. With the RC, for me I felt it was an OGSO, the pace at...

Hi @Anubis, thank you for taking the time to read and comment your thoughts. I know that you cannot sanction the coach for the behaviour of a parent, but at age-group football where I am there is the expectation that they can/should help the R if there are any issues relating to parent...

U18s Reds (home) vs. Yellows (away)… fast start, an early goal each, then in 23’ yellow attacker and red defender running towards goal, red defender only very marginally goalside of attacker heads ball into the hands of GK who is out of the box… for me, if gk doesn’t catch the ball, yellow...
