    Fa Youth Cup

    Very untrue. I know level 7s in their 50s that have received FA Vase and Cup appointments this year.

    I cut out the first peep for half time.

    What are people wearing when they turn up to a match

    For Supply and Contrib games or any game where acting as a team of 3/4 I'll go for a suit. For pre-season or the odd county game I'll usually wear my YRDP polo with some smart trousers.

    On the line to a League 1 club tomorrow, who will be playing their first team! Excited!

    pre season games

    Cut out the middle man and contact the clubs directly! Clubs rarely approach referees they aren't aware of and have no relationship with.

    World Cup Final

    Nicola Rizzoli will referee the match! Great appointment and thoroughly deserved after some great performances! Had my backing after his first game which he handled superbly!

    Transferring

    This may not be what you want to hear but I suspect you may experience a similar fate to a colleague in my county. He refereed just below the highest tier in Poland and when he moved to England was classified as a level 5 and put straight in for promotion to 4. I would have thought the same...

    World Cup Suarez......

    Its a Kosovan team. Kosovo aren't affiliated with FIFA so don't have to impose their sanctions!

    Promotion to Level 4

    I would say that the step from 5-4 is probably one of the largest and most significant you are likely to take as a referee. It marks you leaving the grassroots world and entering Semi-Professional refereeing. A few of the differences are.. Administration- Your admin must be extremely...

    Promotion to Level 4

    Could you be clearer with your question...? Are you currently in the English system?

    Referee ID Cards

    Really don't see the point! 'Oh sorry guys forgot my card at home were going to have to postpone kick off by an hour as I live an hour away'.... End of half-time... IT"S DARK... Game abandoned... Why on earth would someone fake being a referee! Down here if a match has no official clubs are...

    Vanishing spray

    What you have to remember though is that your refereeing level does determine the level of games you get! I can see the scenario where a Level 7 gets the U18 or U16 County cup final and may want to use Buzzers or the spray, but for your average match on the village green or even something like...

    Vanishing spray

    Everyones entitled to their opinion! Its less about the price its more about what it represents. Its a real luxury, and therefore players might see it as being flash and you wanting to draw attention to yourself. As I'm sure you'd agree any unwanted potentially negative attention should really...
