Level 4 demotions are out, as of this morning

Seeing as that's a generalisation rather than a dig at one particular member, yes I prefer that. Alternatively of course, I could just thread ban you, as it would avoid potential harm........

I have a basic Adidas watch that has a "timer" function. Nothing fancy at all, but more than adequate

I remember when Watford beat Leicester in Play-Off semi-final and Michael Oliver had obviously said something similar to his far-side AR, as he was 25 yards on FOP when the whistle was actually blown!! I also recall, from the same season, Mr Stroud blowing for full-time from pretty much in his...

Funny Farts, cos I was about to say the same about Stevenage...!

This is pretty simple @Russell Jones, @Padfoot made a generic statement in relation to those who like to play more advantage, without singling out any one individual nor naming them publicly. @Cheshire Ref & @CapnBloodbeard both did, directly to Padfoot. My grievances with the post are just...

No worries Paul. Just re-read my post, and it should have said "L4's" within those Counties, although I'm sure it feeds down through the levels!

Cheshire & Capn, I'm going to quote Cheshire here, please choose your words carefully. Padders, whilst often controversial (it's a forum, isn't that the point?!) hasn't made any personal comments within this thread. Both of you have. It's wholly obvious that he's not in a "1vsALL" situation as...

Don't stop & flag, you flag whilst on the move. Not only does it not look messy, it looks brilliant! As the AR, it's not your decision as to whether the advantage is to be played, you just need to tell the ref that an offence has been committed!

As others have stated, guidelines clearly state here in UK to immediately signal & call for the advantage. It's an enormous bugbear of mine and, certainly at L4, something I really had to concentrate on, especially under assessment. Again, that's an FA guideline thing. "Red, Amber & Green"...

Painfully, I find myself agreeing with Ruffle! I think you should continue with your refereeing but hold off on the promotion attempts at this stage. Whatever anyone says about refereeing, your 'real' job is far more important, until such time when refereeing IS your 'real' job! For you, right...

Man walks into a bar. Ouch. Dyslexic man walks into a bra...

A similar type of story to Ruffel. A few years ago, I referee'd an FL u18 team (shall remain nameless). Their attitude was simply disgusting from the moment I arrived (for the rearranged 10am Sat Morn KO, from 11 originally scheduled!) until the moment I left. I reported them post-match for...

Promotion season is March-March, therefore any changes announced this summer wouldn't come into place until the following March

Did I tell you about the time I worked a cardboard factory? I earned a packet.

I highly recommend double sided floor tape (it's the padded kind) and then stick badge on!

Don't think so, think that's A&H exclusively too

You are correct. As far as I am aware, A&H have exclusivity on the sale & produced distribution of the FAMOA badge, meaning any other kit you get, you'll have to stitch/stick your own badge on.

There's also one at the start of "warn" ;)

Should be a capital "w" on both "why" and "what", Charlie. Should also be a "?" after "started".
