@GraemeS , we've been specifically told not to do that by our Governance Manager. If a player isn't listed, we contact the FA. As you say, Whole Game therefore creates a new player. That becomes a massive ball ache for the administration side of things. Also, as per the topic... for me, for...

Paddy has apologised!!!! Holyyyyyyyyyyy crap! Where is Padfoot and what have you done with him?!?!?

Correct. It's just Padders being pedantic.

I talk to myself, especially when on the line. That way I have a visual memory and an audible one.

If you haven't blown for a foul and the ball runs out for a throw, what is the most advantageous restart for the team? If their most advantageous restart is a throw, then they will obviously rather that. If you haven't blown for a free kick, then yeah, nothing in laws says you can't restart with...

Padders, just because a player hits a ball with enough force to reach the goalkeeper doesn't mean that he/she is deliberately playing it to him/her. The only thing that matters in any of this is whether the referee believes that the ball was played to the goalkeeper deliberately. Did the...

The question is... in the opinion of the referee, was it deliberately played back to the goalkeeper? I didn't get that feeling by reading the original post.

What is this game you talk about?!? :rolleyes:

Just learn from it. Don't dwell on it too much. We all have these moments. What you have to understand is that the payers are rightfully going to get a bit frustrated. You understand that and you have accepted that. That's the hardest bit done. Next game will be here before you know it and...

Harry, still report it. Your County wont be able to do a great deal about it but at least you've made them aware.

That's the answer I was waiting for. An actual document :) Now I can have a read to see what I've agreed to lol

That's all well and good... but I'm asking where these formalities are in writing. If I'm under "contract" when officiating; that contract can be breached. Where are the details laid down? If I was to breach this contract and the CFA/FA wanted to challenge that, they must have a formal document...

Paul, you enter an agreement. You pay a charge for parking a car on someone's property. You agree to adhere to the terms and conditions. Which is you pay the amount in which you intend to stay (or have stayed). The point I am trying to make here is that I am under no contractual obligation to...

Implied... that's not a contract. So, we are in agreement then that there is no contract?

How are referees the most hated people in football?

@Brian Hamilton why don't they issue these instructions to referees? I mean, some of the thing she you go out and look for, referees may never have heard of, but you're "marking" to this criteria. Are referees expected to read and learn from the observers handbook? It's kind of me being an...

That's the thing, we aren't employers nor employees. Yet some on here think that we are contracted ("to the home team"). We really aren't.

That doesn't answer my question. Where is this specifically documented? Where can I see these terms? Where can I see what I am bound to and by? We are obligated to carry out a role using the LOTG as our guidance. There's a difference. What is the definition of an employer? Do they pay me a...

Okay... a contract, I would suggest is a legally-binding agreement. Where's my signature for that? Because, in a court of law if you say "he said he'd look after me" or "he greed to it"... the defendant could say "no I didn't".... You don't go to buy a house and the lender say "Mr DB, do you...

Have we signed anything? No. Therefore we are not under contract for anything at all.
