I was ball watching on my game Sunday evening - fortunately the pitch was strangely very small. I only did 3.5 miles, in a game I would've done double on a full sized pitch! Predict where the balls going to land, and be around that area. Rather than watching the ball when its 10 foot off the...

I have came across this before and seeked advice - wouldn't say theres a specific answer, just go with what you think is best. Personally, I would treat them as a player. This makes your life hell of a lot easier in my eyes.

Fees across the border are very good in my eyes. Welsh National League prem (county league) Ref £30 I think plus milage, assistants are £25 plus mileage. Cymru Alliance (Tier 2) Ref £45 plus mileage assistant £35 plus mileage Welsh Prem Ref £180 assistant £90. Can I ask, what leagues do you...

Every referee going for promotion has to complete a fitness test over here. Not 100% on what the referees do at grassroots level for promotion, but ones on the Specialist AR complete the above fitness test, but get an extra .10 seconds.

Wow you guys are lucky!! Wish all we had to do was a 12 minute run. We have to do 3 different tests: Change of Direction Ability - 10m sprint, 8 m side step (left) 8m side step (right), 10m sprint in less than 10.10 seconds. Repeated Sprint Intervals: 30m sprint, 5 times, less than 4.8 seconds...

I was on about cards in general, not necessarily violent conduct. Again, depends on the severity - someone I know sent a lad off pre-season for VC and I've not heard a single positive comment. Funnily enough, I was originally with the FA and was offered a place on the academy not so long ago...

Love it. Excellent. Can I ask what level/experience you are at Padders? Never been one for showing cards in friendlies. I have also performed with some very high standard referees, welsh premier & fifa/ex fifa and not one has advised for giving cards in a friendly. Would much rather listen to them.

My first game as an assistant referee was horrible, I will be honest. It is a lot better than it seems, and it is very enjoyable. Penatlies, position where the penalty area and goal line meet, watch for the keeper moving off his line, then once everything has been done, take your position back...

Anybody got any phrases they like to say to the annoying players? My favourite 2 are: 'At what point in the game have I told you whats right and whats wrong (or whats good and whats bad, whichever suits), I haven't have I? So why do you think it gives you a rights to do so?' 'If you want an...

Anybody been to the Donosti Cup? Looking at applying for next seasons.

I use double sided sticky tape week in week out, not a problem!

Can I just say - I don't agree with not having cards in a friendly. I am just going with what I have been advised to do in the past. However friendlies are there for the managers to try different things, if man-management works and no uses of cards, I don't see why cards should be used like a...

I've had 7 pre-season friendlies. Not one of them has been friendly and would say in a competitive game there would've been a red card in more or less every single one of them. Were any cards shown? No, apart from a game I was watching yesterday where the ref shown a yellow (was rightly a...

Last thing I would do is hand out cards in a friendly. The managers saved you a job by subbing them himself - but if it was to ever happen again in a friendly, ask the manager to sub them. I usually say in a friendly to the managers/captains yellow, I'll tell them or red (somewhee where I don't...

Don't blame you:D

Was mainly just refereeing. I do a fitness plan but at the moment I am only on the treadmill. Looks like it will be the M400 as not sure if I fancy spending a good amount on money on a watch I'll use once or twice a week.

I can compare them to the RRP prices I paid for you if you like?
