If I was given the choice between the two, I would go with the youth matches (typically anything from U16 to U18).

You've done the right thing in pre-empting any potential issue by reporting it as an exceptional event to the league and county FA. I don't think anything will come of it. It doesn't sound like any other players reacted at the time despite you calling out loud to the player to get them to come...

Along the same line as the advice in this thread is: 'Control the controllables'. Nail that stuff that is fully under your control. Substitution procedure is fully under your control. The players' equipment is fully under your control. Where throw-ins are taking from is totally under your...

These sorts of anomalies are rare. They tend to form in the early part of the marking season (due to only a handful of games being involved for a referee) but by the end, a pretty accurate picture is taken. The other reason this can happen is that a referee is officiating differently when NOT...
