Welcome @James Meacham, hope you got sorted out and are looking forward to a game soon. Oh hope you brought your thermals and waterproofs we don't really do sunshine in this country! Enjoy :p

We learn every game and I think that's why I enjoy it so much...never the same thing twice! Next challenge accepted.

Ladies season only kicked off over here and lots of tournaments, only break I get is when I go on holiday however absolutely love it so don't mind!

I find it generally lasts six seconds every time? No longer or shorter pmsl :smoke:

I find ladies/girls football to be so much easier to referee and whilst we have male coaches who give it loud when told to stop they do cos the girls wont tolerate it either.

Happened to me earlier in the season, player went ballistic because of it and their manager informed me that something was said, I said I would report. I did the Association didn't want to know as I hadn't heard it directly....would still report it helps association build a picture of teams.

Hmmmm...eh...err too many to pick out, I just love football and refereeing so every game is a favourite moment.

It's a personal choice and shouldn't be imposed on anyone. I am sure there are millions of people who didn't observe it earlier in the week and nothing is being said. When the home nations wanted to wear poppies they were told they couldn't etc etc etc this is just to stoke anti Islamic views...

I could take Dawson anyway...not so sure about Richards? :blackeye:

Sorry knew it was a high profile rugby player couldn't remember who and can't be axsed looking it up!

If you gave a caution to a player it was hardly a quick one? Rather a normal one? A quick one I allow provided I don't have to talk to the player and can see it being taken, include it in my pre match and advice teams unless I hold my whistle in the air and clearly state on the whistle they can...

Exactly @Brian Hamilton...I also believe was it Matt Dawson a few years ago used a capsule or nicked the inside of his mouth (physio) during a game to get a fresh sub on. Agree in the case where there is a blood injury player has to remain of for a minimum time period before being allowed on to...

Would that not be the same for any injury then not just blood? We could get into the scenario of WWE and people taking the wee capsules onto the pitch so they could say they were bleeding to be taken off especially after all the subs have been used? Rugby a different game altogether they use...

I wear dimples on 3/4g pitches and on most grass pitches when the weather is wetter and pitches heavier I switch to mouldies never had a problem.

Thought Madley had an absolute mare tbh don't like him as a referee and yesterday reinforced that thinking.

Have to say prefer to give a bad offside decision than a bad goal decision, you also get to know the players how quick they are do they play of the last man etc and experience lets you get into the best areas also if you see the hoof coming a quick look usually tells you. Only ever made one bad...

You will be surprised how much better your game gets...you have to be sharper to make the decision and your positioning improves as well, ok the 50-50 ones you make a judgement call but 99% are clear cut! No arguments about the lino being a homer either!

@richard ramjane simple instruction to CAR - ball in out direction, don't be annoyed if I overrule you it simply means I saw something you didn't, thank you - nothing else makes life so much easier.

They are already wearing Ralph, tattoos and bling they only need to work on the fake tan!

Or Rolph Lauren with the five legged horses!! :eek:
