Hi everyone

Do we all record sanctions every time?

Had a text just night from one of the managers wanting to 'confirm' that I'm going to submit a YC for his U14 player.

Thoughts?

Yes.
If you fail to report then it will be you that gets charged if found out and you will be the one on holiday.
If you show the card it gets reported.
In reality the manager should also be reported for contacting you after the fact to even ask the question!!

Done before I’ve even left the changing room.

All the answers you need already stated. But just state you've already submitted the sanction and that is the end of it. Coach should know better.

And this is on the fa website, yes?
Centre circle is used just for tracking your games?

Yup. Grassroots discipline must go through Referee Portal. Whether your competition also requires you to submit using another platform is up to them.

Yep. Always put them through (especially if it is a competitive game!).

I am a complete square and will put them through in friendlies too. Just less hassle!
