it depends, is he stating fact? :p:cool: me personally, i'd go with a yellow for dissent ... its certainly not foul, Ior abusive - I wouldn't call it offensive, the only one for me that @Brian Hamilton very kindly posted for us all, is insulting - and as much as insulting is listed as a red...

.... you say that as if there is 'another' type of 3pc?

oi oi! im busting out my 3pc too ... special occasions and all that! i hate county ties, so crap - need a nice chunky tie and 'knots' properly, cant get my double Windsor on the CFA ones

i wasn't annoyed, but i have just shredded my housing application to move to West Riding :p:p

i was going to say similar things to @RefJef ! I think I great title would be - 'Referees: The most hated in football?' I would then also go to local Saturday and Sunday games and get some opinions of managers/coaches/spectators/players ... as Jef said, do a complete cross examination type...

Hiya @Tom Gibbins - Welcome, a fellow Essex ref, where about in Essex are you based? be good to sign you up to a RA Society. @A Freethinker has covered most things ... just to re-cap a few points: Smartly dressed - 95% of the games you are going to be covering will be park/council pitches and...

I personally think you shouldn't walk off a pitch unless threatened/assaulted ... my best action when everyone is getting to much, I blow for everything - slight clip? free kick, hit hand even though its by his side? free kick - slightest dissent? yellow card ... etc

he also had 2 pints with the crowd t half time

was all uphill apparently

and at that time had been a referee for 11 years ;)

only difference being Swarbrick was a Level 7, new ref at 29 ... Jonathen Moss at 29 was an equivalent of todays level 5/4

I believe Neil Swarbrick was 29 when he blew his first whistle ... (easy @A Freethinker !! :hmmm:) So, a perfect example of no - you're not too old

Clearly what all roads lead too ! If I have 'Purples' soon, ill remind him to stop upsetting my fellow colleagues! ;)

SBO? your first red was in subbuteo ? Christ you did take it seriously :p:p

Mine was a School semi final (I was only 16 myself) ... Away side 3-1 up, penalty - 60th minute (baring in mind only 40 mins each way) I give a penalty, purposely tripped an opponent, plenty of players to cover so not DOGSO, just a yellow for the trip - as I show the card he calls me a...

haha - very true sir, very true

I think it is more a thing of 'the higher up you go' - agreed though! most boardrooms are just cornered off areas from the rest of the bar area

He definitely is mate - although a charmingly lovely bloke when they win!

Sorry, I didn't mean to assume you actually was - I was more poo-hooing @RustyRef advice to contact the CFA and let them know. with that attitude mate you will go far, trust me - like I say, just keep doing what you are doing and the time will come I assume you are signed up to your local RA...
