I used my cards which was what caused the issue of that accounts ignorant tweets to come to light. As for your irrelevant point strike action I do not and never will support collective punishment , whereas shutting down one idiot stoking trouble online as this account does is a collective good deed.
I take it from your defensiveness you have either involvement or are friends with the person running the account please feel free to show him the issues his tweets cause.

So you turned up at a ground and the 'club' (guessing everyone from the club, including the tea lady) said that RefSupport had tweeted one of the 3 tweets you posted. (Replying to an injured guy who was blaming a ref for his injury, or some stuff about a Liverpool ref or calling out people for having double standards with ref abuse). These tweets meant the 'club' can cause an incident that has caught you up in FA hearings...

You would rather show up to a game where no tweet had been sent but the referee has been assaulted the week before. As this would make you feel safe.

On Cardiff Strike post, you said you have cards and a voice to manage situations, so why can you manage a game where the referee was assaulted the week prior, but not one where a tweet was sent, by someone who has nothing to do with you.

No idea who he is nor do I follow the account in anyway.

I only use this forum and FA/Leagues for info.

As @DavidObs has correct identified. It is wise to stop probing into your comments until the outcomes have been resolved.
 
I've not read every post in detail but I get the impression he is unhappy with a charity posting a few posts and then clubs/players having a go at him about said posts as if he is to blame for those postings.
So, in effect, he is being abused by those for something he hasn't done.
How am I doing so far?

Then he goes on to say that he won't participate in events that help stop abuse not necessarily organised by this charity and will happily walk over the picket line, so to speak, and let the abusers of refs continue to play and abuse him potentially because, checks notes, other refs decided to strike and potentially make that team not have a game.

How will teams learn not to abuse refs if refs like him don't support other refs?

I get the impression he is a "I'm making money" ref rather than doing it for the sport (I get we don't do it for nothing but it's a difference between being a all for the money ref or a for the love of the game ref".

He also mentions he has cards and a whistle for a reason.
So what happened in the game that he is seemingly in trouble with the CFA then? Did he issue cards? Did he do it based on comments made to him about a charity he has no connection to? Did he get abused? If so, clearly cards and whistles didn't help him that day regardless of whether ref support post or not.

It would not be appropriate for him to reply at this time when the matter is being looked at by the CFA and would be fair enough.

What matter specifically? Again, didn't really read every message in detail so may have missed it.
I got the gist it was an incident within a match by players.
Reading between the lines now, with what you're saying, it could be something he's said?

He hasn’t specifically mentioned exactly what the incident was.
 
Interesting debate. As a match official of over three decades and a league official of one of the largest youth leagues in the UK, I can only speak with my personal experience. When I needed refs support for a young referee, they were there and went over and above. Don’t always agree with there methods well that of Martin Cassidy, and told him so. But they get results and things have changed since they started raising issues. Yes they push the boundaries but do get results.
