Hi fellow Referees. Question on off-side with club Linos. I find often the club lino flags too early before the offside ‘position’ becomes an offside ‘offence’, I will then wait until the player touches / challenges before I whistle. There is then sometimes a bit of confusion where the IFK is -...

Thanks James.

So if IDFK and ball not going towards oppo goal Ref can drop his arm? Is this in LoTG or any IFAB documents? Just curious in case I start doing this, develop a habit then get challenged on an assessment. I get arm ache sometimes 😂 .

Hi. I felt the same particularly the first few, but your process becomes more natural and speedy the more you develop the habit. It’s also probably not as long as you think it is. Be wary of a frustrated player moaning about the time it takes, just focus on your procedure. Have you considered...

Thx for the answer

Thank you. Great help.

Thx. Grateful for your advice.

Thx for your feedback much appreciated.

Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated.

Thanks. It was in one of my first couple of matches. I’d treat it differently now. Thx for your advice.

Hi. Reffing for a year. Open age and older youth. I am happy with the principles and sanctions of dissent and OFFINABUS if aimed at officials. I’m also happy with serious language from one player to another e.g. racist comments. But what advice is there to deal with players who use more...

Hi Chris, well done for getting qualified and looking to progress. I would suggest progressing to open age adult football as soon as you feel confident about it. Some factors to consider might be how you are doing at older youth level e.g. U18s and also whether you are used to the environment of...

Well done. You took the correct action if the kick was with any force. If it was no force it could have been considered petulant and warrant a YC only. It definitely would not be a sin bin. C2 dissent sin bins must only be used for “dissent by word” (generally defined as a player questioning...

I wondered that too. If you haven’t been appointed to the higher level weekend matches, rather than not do anything why wouldn’t you then make yourself available for lower level games? In my area there are numerous matches that are not covered by qualified refs every weekend and I’m not talking...

I do exactly that as well.

Hi. I’ve been on pro version for 1 year. No problems for me. I’m on Apple Watch 6. I have seen on Facebook groups that some people appear to have had issues since a recent update. If you have a Facebook account search “REFSIX user group “. Good luck.

Me too, I didn't realise that either, I thought 2 coin tosses, one so one of the teams can choose ends and two so the winner can choose to 1st or 2nd, and I've had three PK shootouts this season!! I also did not realise (until I attended my 6to5 meeting last week) that we do not need to have a...

ok mate :)

If it’s a senior match with team sheets then I’ll mention these things to the manager and also do a pre match quick inspection. If it’s a youth or any other match without team sheets or without an obvious opportunity to inspect every player because they are not entering pitch via a singles gate...

Yep every week
