    Thats what was going threw my mind as I reached to my pocket. I was also on my own for this game and a mas conf would have happened if I was to send him off. He got the message and I didn't hear him for the rest of the game after that.

    Keeping it brief. So today's game I called for a careless foul, the player that committed the offence came up to me asking for an explanation, I gave him the reason why with the captain involved as he was only 10 yards away, when the player turned his back he said ref you're a f'in joke. So I...

    Clearing your mind for the game.

    What do you all do prior to a fixture? For example, what I do is I listen to a bit of classical music to clear my mind for the game while I am driving, yes call me sad but this includes the uefa champions league theme tune. It actually helps me focus for the game ahead, I officiate in army...

    Today's game.

    I understand that. However on a fast pace game with CARs I won't be in the correct position every time. I have done 18 games already and been approached to double jump as they strongly believe I can do it. I also strongly agree that you can't rush experience also. Part of life. Like we all...

    Today's game.

    I had a hard game today few tough decisions I made that I got bang on, I did miss a high foot that everyone was calling for but I didn't see it as it was a fast pace game and my vision was blocked. What made me feel good as a new level 7 is after the game both teams said they enjoyed the game...

    Taking your time when making a decision

    I had one last week, One player pushed his opponent in the back and then got the ball, it was so close to the penalty area I know it was a foul but I had to give myself 2 seconds to process if it was on the line or off. It was just out the box (not by much at all) but still gave myself that...

    Funny incident

    I have only done 4 games in the centre and I came across something I didn't know how to deal with it so I am wondering what you would do if you came across this. It went like this, A tackle happened that didn't need a card just a chat to say next time you're in the book and a few more chosen...

    Stoke vs WBA

    as @Jacko says the intention of slapping him was there as he missed and tried again, Straight red for me for (edit) Violent Conduct. any physical strike to an opponent like this should be shown where the showers are, no ifs or buts nip it and put it to bed right away or there will be problems...

    Info needed

    I would contact your CFA about this. If you was to do this match and then put it on the whole game system I am sure your secretary will be annoyed that they have not been informed of these games, especially if you issue a red card or even a yellow. Cover your back to prevent you getting in to...

    Open Age FAL TOWARDS THE REF

    Red card as soon as he said the first foul word for me. I referee should never been seen to be spoken to like that. Simple. If they use the b word I would automatically assume it was towards me.

    Advantage question

    As it's not DOGSO and the striker gets the ball and has clear control of the ball, play on and if he misses GK. If the striker didn't have possession or in 100% in control of the ball PK all day. If you play on with or without signal and the striker misses and then award the PK the other team...

    Sunderland Norwich - foul throw before third goal

    Why in the first place is the AR looking at the offside position, he should be watching the throw-in as we all know there is no offside offence with a throw-in. No goal simple. The AR did not carry out his duty correctly at this point.
