Thank you for the advice! Maybe a subject of another topic but are you meant to have a mentor? Been refereeing for 5 months now and been pretty much on my own other than this forum

Hello all, Interesting one that I’ve not thought about before, am I correct in thinking you can bet on football if you are level 7,6,5 referee as long as it’s not on a league/competition you are involved in, doubt most bookies cover Sunday league anyway! It’s not something that gets mentioned on...

Thank you for the reply! Yes mine is via Zoom

Brilliant, thank you James! Bit worried when I first saw the email come through!

Hello everyone, Had an email today asking me to attend a personal hearing, I’ve only been refereeing for 4 months so this is my first one and I’m not sure what to expect! No allegations against me or disputing a red card, but something has allegedly happened during the game but not reported to...

100% and this is something I have learnt from this weekend!

Thank you for your advice! Will defo take that into next week, think it being a cup game made it a bit worse as the opposing team were chasing the game and getting frustrated!

Hello everyone! What is everyone’s view on players kicking the ball away, do you go for straight yellow or a warning first! I have one today for a player doing it for a second time, although thinking back I could’ve nipped it in the bud with an instant one straight away, obviously easy to look...

Thank you that’s what I initially thought but then saw the reckless play option!

Hello everyone! My lucky day today and gave out my first yellow cards, they really do come like London buses! Both for reckless challenges, would this go through as a C1 and then reckless play? Or foul tackle? thank you

Is this still the case if it is mentioned after the game? E.g the day after the club secretary emails saying one of their players has said they had racist comments aimed at them, but this was not mentioned throughout the game to me, or is this a case of letting the club make this report?

I thought as much, and if I did hear what is the punishment? As an ex Sunday league player I’ve been called many things and the referee has never got involved!

Hello, 6 games in and enjoying it, learning new stuff every week! Game yesterday one of the players (U14s) said to me that one of the other players swore at him. I didn’t think there was much I could do even if I did hear it, what does everyone else do in this situation? Have a word with the...

Thank you! As this is my first game I’m not sure if I’ll get a team sheet beforehand, if I do I’ll write them all down, if not I think I’ll just record subs, goals and cards!

Out of curiosity how does everyone complete their scorecards? I have my first league game on Sunday, and it’s not something mentioned in the course. Do you fill it out beforehand with all the names or leave it blank and just write down any players that are cautioned or scored? Understand it’s...

Brilliant, thank you!

Quick one hopefully, do you have to record friendly matches on the whole game system? Or is this optional/ only if there’s cautions etc

I did my first game last week which was also a 9v9, funnily enough @Big Cat game sounds like my one lol! Forgot to start my watch and missed a goal that bounced off the crossbar (luckily the opposition coach was fair and advised me it crossed the line). But I would say enjoy it, the players were...

First game done u11s friendly match, few little tackles here and there but nothing major! Forgot to start the watch at the start haha but was quickly rectified! Probably need to work on positioning a little bit but guessing that will come with experience. Thrown in the deep end with no ARs so...

Thank you, I’ll probably just confirm with managers in the morning! Only a friendly so should be good
