I know one ref who always gives his coin to AR1. I think it has become a superstition. Not even a special coin.
TOSS OF THE COIN TO START PLAY

We've had zips in the Patrick shorts for years. As a ref I think most are unzipped for cards/notes but ARs are left zipped typically right for notes

What if the 4th was given a WC final coin....
And realised during the first half he no longer had it..

I always let it hit the ground BUT.... NEVER pick it up until the players have walked away.
Often one of the players picks it up and hands it to me.
Nothing in the LOTG saying you should catch it. Putting your face low by the players' boots and not being able to see is a good way to get a cheap shot from a disgruntled player. No rush to get my coin.

Why would the referee march over, surely he would give it to the senior assistant who was going that way anyway? That's actually fairly common at senior levels, but I've never seen the referee had it only to the 4th man, only the assistant.

I cant and wont say any names
But somebody used to have a WC coin
And after toss, he stride over and gives it to 4th...

Thread of the week
Played football all my life, a number of seasons as skipper and I never once gave a hoot about the coin toss and neither did the opposition. There's enough for referees to be conscious about before a match starts without worrying about formalities like this surely?

Slow news week!
When you see many of the same teams? Yep. 4 red cards in three OA games including a mass confrontation. Some of these guys don't move on very well. I wouldn't put it past some of these guys to "accidentally" lose their balance or something else.Disgruntled players before you've even kicked off?that good?
Oh and on the games today. I was AR1 when we had a mass confrontation resulting in two VC RC's and CR sent another off for SFP.
On the game I centered, only had 1 YC for DRP and a RC for OFINABUS

I tell them Home heads away tails then toss and catch the coin, show the captains, kick off job done.
Didn’t realise it was that big of a deal

When ever I have decided to let the coin drop on the floor it always ends up on the edge, so now I catch it and show it to the away captain. I would be sad if this was noted on an observation as surely it is the least important decision you have to make, whether to catch a coin or let it drop!
I once started a game without them whilst being observed.
I had failed to notice during my pitch inspection. Had to hold the game up a minute whilst I had the home.team go fetch them..

Did you get bonus marks for proving no one is perfect?
