Most refs I have run the line for will ask for one standing, it looks neater and is easier to enforce than trying to decide when it becomes two people "conveying tactical instructions". But they will also give me some discretion, sometimes a bench lacks enough seats for everyone!

Just seeing if I’m unique in this but being a level 7/4W and going for 3W I’m in a weird predicament with appointments. To prepare myself for WNL and 3W I really need regional women’s games that are closer to the standard and often include NARs but it seems most appointment secretaries in my...

I am a user and ******* thing lost months worth of my games the other month so I don’t trust it at all

I'm hoping my daughter takes up football when she's older just so I can have this moment!

If I get promoted enough at work then this could be an option on all days bar recording/publication days!

That's okay, easier to persuade my wife I'll be home late than my boss I'll be leaving early!

Ah that's a very good idea, didn't realise that was an option!

Yeah I am full time employed, work from home 2-3 days a week and have a two hour commute (each way!) when I'm in the office. It's a job I could move to freelance/part time but 3w doesn't seem the level where that is financially viable or a very wise thing to do just yet. As you can probably...
