Helps Chelsea's financial fair play a fair bit apparently. Means they can offset the cost of him all to one year and this year they will end up with a profit (if that makes sense). One of the Chelsea journalists is fairly sure that's the reason. He never had a future at the club anyway so I...

This one @Tealeaf ? Skip to 0:40.

Thought he did very well, although I must admit that I thought it would be a bloodbath after the Cattermole foul 10 seconds in. Not a criticism of his reffing, but one thing I don't like is that one fingered points to everything. No particular reason, I just don't like it!

That's cause it all goes to you refs in Scotland... In all seriousness, they can't afford some bits of plastic and a rope to stop spectators? Very clear rules in my youth league, a respect barrier must be present else there's a fine, and coaches have to stand on the opposite side of the pitch. I...

Did I read that Craig Pawson has been promoted to the FIFA list this week?

Hertford @HertsFinest

If it's a TV game then yes, I get annoyed when people think the ref's made the wrong decision and back it up. If it's at Stevenage, no chance, I'll be going with the viewpoint of any other horrendously biased football fan...

Well, not as bad as the two the other week so that's good. Pitch was in horrendous condition, it took considerable effort to run up the hill through what would have been more at home in a farmer's field (although ball still rolled okay and no water around). Ended up running around it or it...

To be fair I'm only going off the Vine, didn't see the resulting shot.

I really like it, a lot more modern. You can change back to the original style if you wish at the bottom of the page where it says 'RefChat Style'. Edit: On a side note, I've notice that the forum now has 1,000 members. Well done @Ross!

https://vine.co/v/OrOM0QQxzKH It's a very poor touch by Diame, and I think a tad harsh to send off from there.

Lovely. 1:30 kick off, so best of both worlds.

Wouldn't have happened if it wasn't Messi though would it...

Yep I'll take that bit out. Left it until now because I was waiting for my kick off time to appear. It hasn't :(

We did, until injuries kicked in.

Right, I've decided that I can't leave my team with just 10 players. It would make no difference if it was and Under 10 game or an Under 16 game. Does this sound alright? Feel quite bad about it but hopefully he'll see my angle: Hi Norman Thanks very much for the appointment next Sunday at...

Baldock actually, but guess it could be worse! (agree with you re Stortford/Sawbo). Coming down on the side of doing it tbh, what's the worst that can happen... :eek:

Great cheers.

Well enough for me to order an organiser @Ross :D

So, I've only ever done up to U14 (although up to OA on the line), and have only ever had two County Cup matches (which didn't go too well... http://refchat.co.uk/threads/one-of-those-games.4214/). This afternoon I get an email sending me about as far away as is possible in Herts for an U16...
