Yellow card in front shorts pocket, red in back shorts pocket. Yellow AND red in left shirt pocket. Use the left shirt pocket if it's a second caution.

It says his FA is Dorset. Your geography really is poor, hopefully you won't struggle in finding all the new grounds on a cold Tuesday night!

Darius didn't start off in the cream of the crop that is West Riding :)

I recall 2-3 seasons ago something like 12 being promoted in WRCFA.

That seems rather contradictory to what you were saying about the 4-3's on the other post in which I replied saying nobody gets 4-3 without being any good. Edit: Also, it's worth noting that I'm not being pushed. I qualified in 2012, if I get Level 4 at my first try, I'll have been refereeing 5...

I still swear by my FitBit Surge, wear it all day long and during games and workouts.

Sorry was napping haha. Can't believe you actually text me and woke me up due to your excitement at this hahaha 1:30 sounds good to me, I'll probably be there a bit early since as a new driver I'll be leaving with plenty of time

Because if I'm not good enough then I won't get promoted. Your mentality is what do I have to lose in waiting a season, my mentality is what do I have to lose in failing? If I fail 5-4 then I have learned what it takes, I have become a better referee as well as training hard enough to pass the...

Oh I haven't got it I've only just got my Level 5, this season is my 5-4 season.

Yes, the beginning of the season fitness test is done by your county FA in order to ensure that you're up to the required standard before accepting you on to the scheme. Now they have to pass the FA fitness test.

I would do it but as a new Level 5 about to turn 21 I feel I've still got a lot to learn myself and wouldn't be overly credible. If I get to Level 4 next season then I'll put the wheels in motion, if I don't, then maybe in a couple of years I'll do it.

Becoming an assessor is something that has interested me but I think I can be overly critical, something that stems from my evaluations of myself as a referee. I can chat to another referee about a game and make it out like I've had the worst game ever when I've had a decent game.

And then rang me screaming in a high pitched voice ;)

Coincidently the same method used by PADI qualified divers.

I'd read that there is now an assessing pathway right to the top? Think it was something @Brian Hamilton wrote although I may be making that up.

Firstly, taking the advice of your AR is not dismissing based on the consequences. Secondly, it may be worth viewing the incident first.

And a good assessor will identify that a referee has made a challenging game look easy. Is that the excuse we're going with? ;)

If I'm honest I don't think the games differ that much around here for 6's and 5's. This season I've been getting better games than some of the 5's. A league cup final. A district cup semi-final. A county cup final.

From what I gather the belief is that the new system will identify the experienced 7's and reward them for their experience. I do believe it is somewhat mislead as I know some 'experienced' referees who shouldn't be refereeing full stop.

I'll allow a quick free kick if they take it quick. What I won't allow is a player putting the ball in place, taking his time, players are starting to organise the wall, the goalkeeper is at his post organising the wall and then he says "Can I have it quick?" No, it's ceremonial at that point.
