    It's just a game of football

    This is, I think the worst fear of what could happen to any official, can't imagine how I would do the game in the afternoon if it was me in that situation. Good for putting it to the FA and hopefully he gets a lengthy/lifetime ban from football, would be a perfect chance for the FA to put the...

    Does this mean my dear Ipswich getting battered every week has a chance of survival?

    Ref equipments

    Also stops you from looking like a bit of a jobs worth, I would back it being introduced at step 3/4 if funding became available but never any lower than that, partially due to the training of level 7/6/5 referees to run the line with comms.

    Minute silence for remembrance

    Similar to this, has anyone bought the stick on poppies to wear and are they only going to wear them next week?

    Academy Refereeing

    In Suffolk we have 2 development groups who will mainly get the academy fixtures. The County CORE group will get some of the older age groups when they are short. We also have a separate 'Academy Referees' group who are seen as the future C-CORE group. And then other promising referees on...

    FA Vase

    My game on Tuesday went to pens with one team down to ten. Luckily the other teams gk took the 4th pen so didn't need to worry 😅

    Standard Liege v Royal Antwerp

    We all laugh but, lots of people saying he should "grow a pair" and carry on. Granted it is social media though so take that with a pinch of salt.

    Not complaining about missing this week, Old Farm Derby would've been nailed on to be included and I cannot jinx it already sweating about it 😂

    A little help……

    Feel free to shoot me down but would it be worthwhile 'archiving/deleting' any forums that are seen as surplus. I'm thinking like the old selling threads. It's clear to see where the bulk of it is but I would be hesitant to remove any of them as it is mainly in the match related ones and that...

    Coping after a match

    A way that could help is the mindset from ted Lasso "Be a goldfish" but that depends what type of person you are as it won't work for everyone. The other way that I prefer is talking about it to someone who is also a referee, and will understand your situation. I've built a network of guys who...

    Offside decision

    When I do remember, I usually ask them to keep it down and buzz me, purely because if it is potential line of sight I can wave it down if I know he isn't, and if there are question marks it means that we can manage it before we commit to an issue. The lack of appeal is probably because the GK...

    Offside decision

    I think with the position I took up I was double guessing myself quite a bit after the game, hence why I was weary to say 100% the right decision. Very happy that the team it went against managed to get what can only be said as the perfect angle to support the decision. With all the moaning...
