    Huge charity match - advice needed!

    Hi all, Got a huge game tonight! It’s a charity game at a local football club to raise money for a charity which was founded following the death of the owner’s son. 1 of the managers is from the Premier League (yes really!) and the other is a former Premier League manager. I think Sky Sports...

    Some useful words to calm down players/coaches

    For me, players and coaches seem to argue because either (a) they don't agree with a decision or (b) they don't understand it. I'm not very good at speaking to players and coaches and is something that I am trying to work on. In scenario a, there is a limit to what you can do. You can't change...

    Who was playing him on then ref?

    I try and use the number when I can. If not I say 'the centre back' or 'left back' or 'player on the far side'. That seems to work for me

    Unsure about my decisions

    Agree with what has been said but I would have cautioned for PI. 3 fouls in a short space of time, or the game is enough for PI. Un-needed, especially when 6-1 up!

    Player Name

    Agree with you there!!!!

    Player Name

    It is another thing which comes down to interpretation. If you look at it in black and white, it is disrespectful and therefore should be a red card. However, football isn't black and white. As @zarathustra said, it depends on a lot of variables - the feel of the game, how the player has acted...

    Open Age My first red card...

    My first was this season. U16. Defender goes to tackle the striker by kicking the ball away from him. Misses. Striker goes down. Before I can blow for a free kick and caution, striker whilst on the floor kicks the defender! Red card for violent conduct

    Player urinating - what would you do?

    I saw a similar incident to this somewhere else and emailed IFAB about it a couple of months ago, had a reply from David Elleray! He suggested that the 'sensitivity' of it would depend on what you do. If the player left the field of play without your permission then he should be cautioned for...

    Food for thought

    If they persistently took a long time over the kicks then yes for time wasting

    Food for thought

    I'm not giving them a load of time. Once the wall is ready, normally the defence is. If not, I give them until I get into position then we start. Normally a player has made a foul, not the team...

    Food for thought

    I didn't say I would. I said that I would tell them to hurry up and that I have never cautioned a keeper for taking longer than 6 seconds...

    Food for thought

    Part 1: If it takes that long to get a free kick taken, the referee is doing something wrong! It may break up the game but in some occasions as referees, that's what we want! It is only fair on the defending team that they are given time to organise and most do this fairly quickly. If I know...

    Junior/Youth Kicking the ball away

    Thank you all! I've never really intended to caution for it. My approach is add on time if the ball gets lost and tell the players when they are getting the ball to hurry up if they are walking...

    Junior/Youth Upcoming Tough Game

    As the player went to kick the ball, a defender shouted something (can't remember what now!) clearly about the attacker causing the attacker to put the ball out of play. Also on a different note, blue started with 9 players because of injuries and suspension!
