I certainly wouldn't.

As I said before the internet is bad for communicating sometimes. Allow me to explain. I asked "Did you caution the keeper" You replied: "Why would you" This can be interpreted in two ways. 1) Why would you need to book the keeper? (The way I and somebody else interpreted it) 2) Why? Would...

I must admit I didn't think my game would survive today when I saw the rain coming down in the night. Got to the venue and they were brushing the water out the goalmouth, but it was fine to play. The best part is that a Step 7 game was played on it as well this afternoon (pitch was still ok...

You can understand why me & @zarathustra got confused with your post though? :)

Agree entirely with all that post.

hmm, this is where the internet is bad for communicating. I guess we will never know how you intended it originally but will give you the benefit of the doubt. ;) And yes I would caution the keeper, I just hope other ref's are doing it as well so that I don't become a victim of 'last week's ref'

Nothing worse....

New law change says it's a yellow card now. Not that I ever really expect it to be enforced, which is why I asked the question.

Thanks @Trip

Out of interest, did you caution the keeper?

Games in my league kick off at 11.02 tomorrow (usually 10:30), always have done. I did a minutes silence in my u16's game today, and will do a 2 minutes silence tomorrow at 11.

Another one if you don't mind. "Are you blind ref" I couldn't be sure who shouted it as when I turned round there was a group of players together, but it got me thinking. Standard yellow?

So it appears my RAO was spot on telling me to put it in as Micky Mouse and file a separate misconduct report. I never doubted him because he comes across as somebody who knows his stuff.

Yep that's exactly how I was told to do it. I was originally going to put it through in his proper name but my RAO was adamant that I should do it the way I did. I think he said something about the County FA taking an even bigger dim view of him this way.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Similar incident recently. Player was being sent off for OFFINABUS towards me, asked him his name and the tiresome 'Mickey Mouse' reply came back. Asked his manager in my changing room after the game what his name was, he gave it to me. I checked teamsheet and that was indeed his name. So...

I suffer from bad circulation and my hands go blue quite quickly, I had 2 middles on Saturday and Sunday morning this past weekend and didn't wear gloves and whilst I was a bit cold I could still write in my notebook. However on Sunday afternoon I was on the line & I wore my nike running gloves...

Thanks @Trip Nice to see that I am generally on the right lines with how I am handling these situations.

Thanks for your detailed thoughts Graeme, much appreciated. Going back to the drop ball situation, I could easily have sold a foul, but I knew this keeper was struggling to kick off the deck. Why should he punished by having to kick the ball off the deck when he has made a good save and gets...
