Darren is one of the nicest people you can meet, he probably thought, he's done everything, and we have a lot of very talented assistants, so give them a chance!
I spoke to him last Monday at my local RA meeting, and he said to me that FIFA had lifted the 45 rule, maybe himself and the premier league decided to loose it so another assistant could have a chance!
Your not the only one buddy, I had a game recently as a senior assistant there was a goal scored and about 2 or 3 mins later I was at the half way line and the manager of the conceding team asked weather the player was in front or behind when the ball was played as he believed it was offside...
Look I don't think we have met before but I'm the referee on this pitch, not you!
That is the end of the conversation!
One that I have heard and really want to try:
Right lads, he is getting a caution, anyone else want one form an orderly cue or go away!
Have a word using the stepped approach, tell them anymore and they will be carded, they don't need to know you can't really card them if it's not direct :p
90% of games I turn up suited and booted, other games with a changing room I come in a tracksuit and get changed if there isn't one then its kit underneath a tracksuit!
I once had tournament and a bloody great dog ran onto the pitch mid play, quite funny to be honest, it's not that often you get a streaker as hairy as that :p
