Likewise I accept your view as one that many will share, footballs about opinions lol

The post wasn't about promotion or progression, it was aimed at incentives to progress. Fair play to the parents who took their kids to the event and I'm sure they had a great time and what to give their kids the best opportunity to go as far as they can in the game, but we all live different...

The stopping of the kit wont affect me, already purchased but what gripes me is what incentive do the FA offer to progress? Absolutely they offer the online training but they make it mandated! If you dont do it youre likely to get demoted, if you do complete it it increases a chance at promotion...

maybe they have a 3d printer? i know a few who do this and sell them

Where and how are you able to get these? Interested

In my experience it's only ever been in youth football has a wall been requested which I simply say if you want a wall you need to set it up but I'm not stopping play

you managed to get a link? if not let me know. been away for a while in the States

We had a friendly at the weekend with 2 step 5 teams but the Ref was a EFL Ref who would neither need to use or would be trained to use Sin Bins so guess what....... no sin bins its a friendly! if anyone oversteps the mark he'd just tell the manager to sub the player.

Who told you that? I have been unable to attend a brief so emailed the FA who sent me a link to online training. You get a nice certificate at the end so again I emailed the FA to see where this goes and the response was nowhere needs it.

Hey Fellow Referees, Im Moving to central London (Regents Park area) end of July. I’m looking for leagues to referee on Sundays and midweek within a reasonable distance! Possible Saturday mornings also Saturday afternoon will be covered by FA Any advice will be much appreciated Regards Ryan

If your committed it's not difficult! My back ground is Mon-Friday 8-5 Job so the commitment wasn't difficult. I played at a good level so fitness and understanding of the game wasn't difficult. Like I said you need to live and breath it, if you do it's not difficult! working weekends and...

Ben, Double jumping is fine especially the 7-5 jump as the stranded you referee is very similar. I wouldn't recommend the 6-4 as I know a few referee's who struggled due to the leap in skill level. What I would say is to do the double jump and gain the experience you need to live and breath...

Really? I think it’s wrote really clear and understandable. I think it’s an improvement Time to move on to a law that really is grey...........handball

You’ve never seen a player stick a leg out to stop a quick free kick? That my friend is challenging for a “dead ball”

Out of curiosity then how would you have wrote the rule? I genuinely think they’ve wrote it well, easy to implement and understand but...........as with any rule players will manipulate it! I’m pretty sure we will get players trying to stop a quick goal kick, caution them! You’ll get players...
