Common sense prevails here..... if a player at the last possible split second gives a reflex hand to face protection.... no handball...... but if he sees the ball coming maybe 3-4 seconds away then uses his hands, then for me a penalty....because he then had time to turn his head away to protect...

You are throwing big and confusing words at me now :-)

oh! you picky so and so

I will correct myself, if its a straight forward.... player puts ball down for corner, players are in the box and waiting and all is good i just wave it on...... however if i have to have words with jostling players or corner kicker not putting ball where it should be i will then blow the...

As the player is standing at the corner flag and he puts that ball down, I will check its in/on that arc and say " on my whistle player" get myself in position, edge of box nearest to where corner being taken and i'm saying to the players " keep your hands down i'm watching all of you" and i...

Would i be bothered if someone took a photo of me in a game ? .....NO! Have i got something to hide ?.... NO! Am i bothered ?.... NO! Is my kit clean? do i look the dogs b******* ?.....YES No qualms about my photo being taken, bet you wouldn't complain if the local paper was there and took some...

Me looking for trouble ? nah..... I just arrived at the changing rooms i was catching the tail end of the arguments as the home manager was being led away but i took him into my changing room, and said to be the bigger man and walk away and not get involved etc.etc I am not condoning his...

Today was a League match. U18 Red vs Orange, (refereed orange last week, sent orange player off) So orange player #7 i sent off last week playing today, so i am expecting maybe something so how long? Orange much stronger and quicker and go 2-0 up in five minutes, red fight back, score a goal and...

I think it had the desired effect..........

In the match last week player gets a ball kicked in his face,and his nose starts bleeding profusely, i stop play and send him to the sideline to get it treated and i say " Stop the bleeding, clean your face and change your shirt, (was white but now very red)" He trots off and one of his team...

Just had confirmation both games on this weekend, subject to pitch inspections....... Tally Ho !

Have a cup match Saturday, and a league match Sunday ....... and..... let's hope the weather holds out......

I have previously posted that i would not referee a game not sanctioned by my F.A. (my F.A. states that referees are not insured in non-sanctioned games) and this just proves the point........ The best course of action would be to contact your disciplinary secretary to see what course of action...

In a word " RED"......

Had cautioned the orange no. 11 in the first half for dissent, both teams pressing forward end to end footie, five minutes to go and away team winning 3-1... cruising to a comfortable win when the orange no.11 chops down the home midfielder from behind blatant, forceful trip .... no hesitation...

Game on tomorrow..... but we get nothing like that. occasionally we get offered another game if another ref needed, but a blue moon applies here..............

My one and only game this weekend on Sunday is in deadly peril of being postponed, have been to ground before (private) but has been prone to flood or turn to a ploughed field after heavy rain. So i will take matters into my own hands tomorrow and text the home manager to check on his...

if violent behaviour is involved i.e. thumping/kicking violently/head butting.. for me always a red... this way players will know the outcome of their actions..... if they think they can "get away with it" it will manifest in the higher age groups......

I used to ref in Berks & Bucks 2005-2009

I passed my referee course at the ripe old age of 49..... only problem i have is the zimmer frame getting stuck in the mud
