I did a friendly a few years ago as a favour for a mate. Two teams from a league I was registered in as an official, but rarely did games (helped out if really desperate). Halfway through second, two morons decide they're Lennox & Tyson. Both dismissed, game continued (in wonderful spirit too!)...

Young refs, save these posts and use them! Get out of jail fre cards are valuable! "Rolling ball (with the hand action to sell it of course), retake and on whistle this time please fella"

I'd be seriously surprised if that's your season highlight at L4. FA Vase & Trophy middles, FA Cup games deep into qualifying rounds, PL & FL u21 & u18 games, FA youth cup as well as some sensational games in front of big crowds at Contrib level!

We don't want to know about your self-massage ;) Aled, definitely agree with what's been said. Compressions are good, but as maintenance and prevention, not for injury recovery. Get to a sports therapist/physic and have them go through it. Last thing you want as a ref is lower leg issues, trust me!

Report accepted, ban to follow imminently :P

:rolleyes: Agreed.

What a load of bull! There is no possible way for a single referee to spot absolutely everything that happens throughout a game. You might get lucky and guess correctly, or get lucky and the only thing you miss in one particular game is a throw-in or gk/corner decision, but to say you don't need...

Added to this, RefSecs will also put low-marking teams and refs they don't like or want demoted together!

I always handed to home skipper and told him to 'toss it and catch it' and 'away team skipper call it whilst it's in the air'. Never allow it to drop!

I once had a marmite & red bull milkshake (at ShakeTastic) which was...interesting! I do love me some marmite on toast though! :D

I have a feeling I'll be using that in response to 99% of your posts, Mr ShineyFarts :asshat:

Knew I was coming off as a 4, so didn't care. Assessment was end of Feb, report came in (and my response) was March. My best games were post-March 1st, when I'd made my decision and was content with it. It's amazing what a sense of relief can do to an official...! In terms of the recent posts...

Too long to go into here (and way off topic), but due to circumstance, that wasn't going to happen. My 'polite' WhatsApp response to the assessor (sent me a WhatsApp asking if that assessment was 'all good'), after I'd genuinely politely acknowledged his email, probably didn't help my own cause...

Docked me marks (you are indeed correct about 5) for AOL, but also used the same incident in MC, plus 2 further, smaller point-scoring, categories. A very poor assessment, in terms of context and the way it was written. Couldn't appeal due to politics! Yes, agree with Darius. This has the...

An orange card is a 'straight red' scenario, rather than second yellow. As said above, I think it occurs when multiple referees view the same scenario with differing opinions. As we've previously found out, I don't know who said it, but someone on here did once say that orange cards don't...

1. 0 2. None 3. No 4. N/A 5. Watching ;) 6. Registering? 7. Leave RefChat :P

80% That's at least an A, probably an A* - I'm happy ;)

Loose - not very tight. Eg, his grip on the glass was loose, which is why he dropped it. Lose - to not win. Eg, Dan is going to lose it with Charlie if he continues to spell incorrectly ;)

Hart Clyne-Smalling-Cahill-Bertrand Dier-Wheelchair/Rooney Lallana-Alli-Vardy Kane I don't think Wheelchair should be on the plane, but he is. So alongside Dier, you need a creative central midfielder. It's probably the only position I'd play Fat Wayne to be honest. Dishwater replaces Dier in...

Not sure actually. Think it's just word of mouth. I only know L4 demotions were out as a friend of mine put his on Facebook
