There seems to alot saying red card for the coach, would you not go YC first and if it continues go RC?

So are we saying yellow card for the coach and if it's just between the player and me, and not public then a quite words, watch I've used before and it's worked. Disappointed that I let the coach off with it TBH, but onwards and upwards

Hi all, I done a tournament on Sunday and thinking about it afterwards, I let slip some dissent go that I should have clamped down on. First up was a tricky little player for one of the teams who, when he lost the ball claimed for a foul, every time and on done occasions went on a bit too long...

Hi everyone What do you all do regarding time keeping when ball is out of play, i.e retrieving ball for throw in, goal kick or corner kick, do you stop the clock or let it run? Same for when a player goes down and coach comes on, stop the clock or let it run? Cheers

Hi I didn't intentionally ignore it, just totally caught me off guard. A good learning for me, it ain't over till it's over

Delaying the re start. Never really thought about the dissent side tbh. He was whining about the other team kicking the ball away so he was trying to make a point, badly.

Hi all Couple of incidents I think I could have dealt with better. 1st one is time wasting, away team 1 up and the underdogs going from league position and the keeper was walking to retrieve the ball then walking back, then selecting where he was putting ball down, I asked him to speed it up 2...

Morning I had a busy Sunday trying to get my 5 games in before the call back. First up was a U13's, no drama. Second was a U14's, 2 YC for reckless reckless to away team. Third was U15's, 1 YC for throwing the ball away after giving a few kick against said player. After the match, they had...

Hi everyone I'm only 2 games into this refereeing thing and I'm wondering if the clubs have to submit a score for your performance after each match? I'm only doing older youth league games at the moment. One of the club secretaries was asking for my full name, she said was for the app (...

Thanks for the replies everyone, it's just as I seen it on Sunday but I'll definitely be more vocal on why it's not a foul

Had a few whines about hands in the back at throw ins during a U16's match. From my POV, I seen various hands on the back of the person in front but it didn't seem impactful on the individual. I could of blew at every throw in for hands up if that was the case? I'm only knew to this so would...

Thanks !!

Ref the glasses, the game was done, weather horrendous and I got the impression that this lad doesn't get many minutes, so I'm glad I applied common sense (more luck than judgement in this case). Ref handball - I think officially it was a deliberate handball so should have been a RC and a...

Hi everyone Had only my 2nd ever game as a referee and it was U16's which I thought went pretty well but a couple of incidents I would like opinions on, First up, home team shoot after a bit of a scramble in the penalty area and a defender blocks a certain goal on the line with his hand (left...

Had my first 2 games on Sunday 23rd, first one U14's and second U16's. For my first game my assigned mentor was there and afterwards said that everything I did was fine, correct penalty call (no arguments from anyone at the time) and also we both noticed towards the end the temperature was...

Hi everyone I've got my training booked in for February and one Saturday I had nothing doing so went to the local fields to watch a OA game with the intention of watching the ref. I have to say it looked hard work. Goalkeeper consistently shooting ref aren't we playing foul throws today over...
