Reading that makes me think in your shoes, I'd be speaking to the managers before the game and saying that verbal abuse will not be tolerated, set a low bar. If you need to bring a card out after 5 minutes for it, so be it. Tell them you will consider abandonment if you managing participants...

My worst is where I sent a manger off and they lost 6-0...

Are we having an issue with a player who just 'grabs the ball' and doesn't attempt to take the throw in? Grabs it off the floor to underarm throw to a teammate. That's more what I think GraemeS is getting at.

I usually look at whichever team has completed their walk out first and ask them to start.

I'm still waiting for mine...

Sent a captain off after the final whistle whilst we were doing the handshakes all round, had been a good game, home team won by a goal after being 2 up in the first half, some of away team were a bit vocal but I didn't feel it went above my threshold for dissent, I was managing it without a sin...

Me

I add all my games but only to stay in the habit. Takes all of a minute or so to add games (unless you've been busy with the cards 😂) so I find it's easier just to do it.

Correct. Ref top and mid layer

Correct, no sin bins. And congratulations OUMW! Edit - no SB in the main FA Cup. Not sure about women's 🙈

177! (Though I did count double yellow reds as 2 cards, not 3. Not that it would've made much difference)

31 games in the EFL today. I've just worked out (according to Livescore) how many cards were given in total. Let's see who gets closest 😉 (no cheating!) I'll post the answer tomorrow at midday (if I remember).

Couple of cards coming out for DRP after about half an hour. Let's hope the players at the lower levels are watching the game and take it onboard for tomorrow...

Makes things potentially awkward for me then as I'm a driver for work, my latest finish is usually 4 ish, but based on your example, surely I'd be better just closing my full day? Or are the FA generally understanding? I wouldn't want to close every weekday fully on the chance once in a blue...

Does anyone know the times that each of morning and afternoon relate to? For example, if I close the morning and afternoon of a day, what time would afternoon finish? I would expect tea time, so 5pm ish. Anyone know? Just because I usually finish work by about 4pm, so can do evening fixtures...

That's the issue with Lloyds, I had 1 local that I could use quickly. I had to travel an hour for the test that I actually passed and even then it wasn't a Lloyds, had been taken over a couple of weeks before. The booking system still had it down as Lloyds though. I rang in advance and told...

Lloyds Pharmacy will do them for you. Costs £7.50. Some have closed/are closing, but worth using their online booking service to look at where and what's available. It may also be worth ringing those pharmacies that do the over 40 and see if they'll do it for you if you explain the situation.

1 middle yesterday at late notice (day before). Had nar's. Step 7 team Vs a team made up of youngsters from a couple of Saturday afternoon teams (they said they were a new Sunday League team). Away team matched home team to be fair in terms of quality. 2-0 to home, goals on 36 and 39 minutes...

I think the ball is actually just still in play on the second one
