    Just a little quiz

    Goal scored direct from a drop ball? Almost certain the law was changed at the start of the season to say restart with a goal kick.

    Pleasing end to the season!

    I'd rather go 15 minutes to Deepdale for a derby than any game down saaarrrffffff.

    Pleasing end to the season!

    We've still got a chance of the play-offs (just)! Only need a Brighton loss, Reading loss and a 7 goal swing... Blackpool will be fine now, and it'd be nice to go to Deepdale... went once for a friendly when we were a Prem team and got beat 3-0!

    Pleasing end to the season!

    And now a middle on a Football Aid match at Turf Moor... As a Blackburn fan, mixed feelings! ;)

    Anyone?

    I went on as a 7 but it probably depends on how many officials they have already. Six members from my RA were put on the league just to do lines. Watching level 4's week in week out, with regular assessments is valuable.

    Anyone?

    Just done a quick google search, your best bet is probably the Staffordshire County Senior League Premier Division. That's the same level as the West Lancs League which I operate on. Probably be level 4's in the middle.

    PGMOL

    Since I started in 2010 we've had Howard Webb, Mark Halsey, Mike Dean twice and Neil Swarbrick. Had Natalie Walker in as well who was very good.

    Pleasing end to the season!

    Not a bad few weeks coming up! Girls County Cup final line, Men's cup semi final middle, 2 Men's finals on the line and then a junior league final line... being refereed by Neil Swarbrick!

    First line.

    Don't correct the signal! Just drop the flag. Most refs I have been with (including myself) will include a line along the following in their pre-match: "If we cross, drop the flag. I'll take the flak for it."

    1st assessment and development form

    A few points i've picked up over the last couple of seasons in regards to your development areas: 3/ I was told to 'squueze the play'. Essentially, getting wide and then moving in towards your assistant with play between you. I've always struggled with getting wide. I've started getting out as...

    Being assessed during promotion

    When giving instructions to CAR's, brief both together. More important than the signal with the advantage is the voice, "Play on, advantage". As one said to me last year, not everyone will see the signal, but they will hear the voice. Make sure you have a word with either fouler or fouled at...

    Junior/Youth Camcorders

    http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/safeguarding/raising-awareness/photography-guidelines.ashx Everything you need to know. The key points are: It’s not an offence to take appropriate photographs in a public place even if asked not to do so. No one has the right to...

    Absolutely no idea why the Assistant felt the need to get involved there...

    Junior/Youth Spectator Problem

    I know how hard it is but try not to reply to a spectator in a situation like this. If you feel the need to say something, a simple yes or no, nothing more. This cuts the conversation dead, if you reply with a reason they will just argue it and the situation escalates. As Supermonkey, if...

    Level 5-4 Fitness Test

    For the fitness test I would recommend doing an initial 12 minute run see how you hold up. From here make sure each time you run have a set goal to reach. For example if you run 2000 metres and have 6 weeks to the test, try and do 2 session a week improving by a minimum of 50 metres a time...
