Welcome. I agree, go and watch some local games and say hello to the referee.... approach in a friendly manner! I remember when I did this before I passed, just for a chat at full time and I remember the referees face thinking who is this stranger approaching me and what does he want. It...

I ordered mine with A&H first day it was announced. I have not had mine yet or an email to say it has been dispatched. I assume I am still in the queue

Oh no. Hope it heals ASAP. I have got another assistant appointment today, evening game contesting a Combined Counties League Premier Division against a Isthmian League Division One side.

First appointment of the 2014/15 season tomorrow as an assistant between two teams from the Combined Counties League Premier Division and Sussex County League respectively so it will be a very good standard. I am hoping to learn a lot tomorrow from the appointed referee who is a Level 3 and...

For me it's unsporting behaviour for deliberately trying to deceive his opponent, no attempt was made to make it clear it was taken. I would have cautioned for unsporting and given IDF to Uruguay. It's not something I'd like to see.

Nice one!!

I was invited to Surrey's Development Group 'dummy' fitness test last night as I believe there are tests in August and September for Level 5-4. I am Level 7 so was good to have a go as such. It will be a while until I need to do it and pass it. I was 30 seconds outside the 2600m in 12 minutes...

I'd like to think that an incident like that... in a World Cup that FIFA will go to town with a ban and MASSIVE fine (Didn't Nicklas Bendtner get a £80k fine for having Paddy Power 'LUCKY' pants once at a World Cup...?) so surely a bite would attract a MUCH bigger fine? Also FIFA have look at...

Just placed an order for these pencils (everyone appears to be loving them)

I always (during winter months) made is very clear a week before the game to the home teams secretary that if the game is in any doubt they let me know at the earliest opportunity, if the pitches are owned by the Council they call it off anyway. Look at the weather forecast for the week and...

Well done Mike!! Have a great season!

Supermonkey is spot on. Referee had to do something and he did; 2 off, nobody really complaining, case closed. No referee wants to dismiss a player in a friendly game, I thought he dealt with it well, if no VC reaction then it would have been dealt with a lot differently, but there was, 10...

When I did the line for a cup semi final this season I loved it, plus I had the 'supporters' on my side trying to get in my ear, I found it funny.

Well done! Congratulations! Yeah report that to your County FA as thats not on under any circumstances so do the write up correctly in your misconduct report. I had a Cup Final this seasons which sounds like yours, the attitude from one team fell way below the expected level which resulted in...

No trouble at all. Very uneventful from a Fourth official perspective. Handled the subsitutions and caught the sun.

My first cup final today. I was a fourth official. Game was played at Sutton United FC. Great day, lovely weather. The match day programme and medal will be one for the collection. The appointed referee and assistants were great, got lots of advice. Invaluable experience, especially as I have...

Congrats

It was one of those games where a referee could say 'is this worth it' and walk away as it's not worse the abuse.

I refereed a senior open age double header, to say it was an easy game to referee is an understatement. First game, it was clear one side were going to argue every decision and scream foul throw every time their opponent took a throw in. I had management arguing every decision also. Away player...
