    WGS - friendlies

    Anyone having issues submitting cards from friendlies in WGS? I can’t get anything to load up under ‘other competitions’… could’ve sworn you use to start typing ‘friendly’ or ‘xCounty FA’ and it would show up in the drop down.

    Promotion

    Presumably at the least county FAs will appoint some 7-6s to county cup games sooner than usual to help out?

    Tossing of the Coin

    As someone who does the catch and flip, I imagine it could also come across - to captains that don’t know your flipping habits - that you are deliberately flipping it to heads after seeing it is tails (for example) as an act of bias. Or at least these are the ludicrous thoughts that have entered...

    Tossing of the Coin

    I’m a catcher and flip it over-er and the anxiety of dropping it never goes away

    Netherlands vs France

    It's offside - he affects the keeper's ability to try to play the ball while being in an offside position

    GER v SCO - Euro 24

    I’m not convinced UEFA will hand out appointments based on this tournament alone… there must be also some consideration given to their domestic season/Champions League/recent form. I’d expect Turpin to be among the runners and riders for a big game later in the tournament despite a couple of...

    Promotion Scheme U-Turn

    I’m mentoring a couple of 7s so will chat with RDO. Both of them did lines late last season anyway so hopefully they can be carried over too.

    Promotion Scheme U-Turn

    How does this affect refs already mid-promotion who carried over to next season? Do they have to hit the old requirements or new?

    Moving to spain

    I’ve done it with going to the US and Australia and it was fairly simple… recommend going to your RDO and also trying to contact local leagues/FAs out there to try to find the best contact

    FA Cup Final

    lol we would struggle as refs if we always had to wear different colour shorts and socks to players!

    FA Cup Final

    Not a major point but why are the officials wearing yellow today rather than black? They’re clashing a bit with Onana

    Thinking of throwing in the towel

    Weirdly where I am the Sunday fee is better than the Saturday fee. And yeah I agree that when you’re trying to get your games in for promotion doing Sundays certainly makes life easier

    Thinking of throwing in the towel

    I had exactly the same experience in the 22/23 season with a Sunday league so I decided to start prioritising Saturdays a bit more in 23/24. It was a shame as I am particularly fond of the league - because of the people who run it, how long I have been connected with it and the good nature of...

    long ball getting caught out

    Keep going. They are less fit than you!

    Abuse out of nowhere

    If he’s come 60 yards for an argument he can walk. See you later. Correct decision

    Shoved by player

    Yeah you should be hearing something about it… I submitted an extraordinary at the weekend just because someone called me a ‘****er’ after I sent them off and surprisingly received an email checking I was ok (obviously I was!), so you are far more deserving than me. Sounds like you’re fine -...

    Rainbow Laces

    I can’t imagine anything worse than having to re-lace my boots to get the rainbows on. But if anyone fancies buying me a rainbow lanyard, I’m in

    Second Cautions

    Perhaps I’ve been getting this wrong for a long time (gulp) but I’ve tended to reset after a PI caution. All yellows are equal, I thought, so a second yellow for PI would require the same persistent level of infringement, I thought. Are others doing it differently?
