But based on the belief that the ball was in play he had a few options; handball, not giving required distance and unsporting behaviour for simulating injury (sounds like he was trying to get the other player cautioned of sent off). If the AR had told me that it was handball I personally would...

This is exactly how I would decide. Interference doesn’t have to be challenging- if the defender makes a decision based on the proximity of the off side player then, in my opinion, there has been an off side offence.

By the sounds of it, if punishing the handball offence, it shouldn’t have been a yellow unless it broke up a promising attack?The AR did you no favours there at all.

Welcome Adam. This place is great for running things past people. I’m 4 games in after the course and loved every minute of it. Main piece of advice right now is to learn the laws as best you can. You’ll get a book on your course. Read it thoroughly and use resources like areferee.com to...

I don’t understand why play was brought back.

I get it’s a flawed system. But tbh I’m still pleased that I got a good mark like that early on. This was the game with the jewellery and the pitch I couldn’t see the lines on. Should add I also made them fix a droop in the net which left a hole under the cross bar.

Think to point at the offending team’s keeper. Then direction will be right. So easy to do things like that when thinking of a million things at once.

I have no issues with giving cards at all. I just haven’t had the need yet. I’m sure soon enough I will need to lol. Just has a message from the league appointment officer telling me that in the under 16 girls match I got a rating of 95. Pretty chuffed with that!

Thanks for the responses everyone. I will be managing subs better from now on. I’ve not been going to the touch line (I check everyone for jewellery etc before the match) but I will be from now on and I can remind them there if needed that they need to wait. The advice here has really helped...

Hi guys. So I’m 4 games in now. I’ve done U16 girls, U14 boys, U14 girls and an U11 boys. Really enjoyed it and have a few things to reflect on which I thought I’d share and see if anyone had similar things at the start of their career. I’m happy with how the games went and really happy...

😂😂

Aye. One of those things. If it wasn’t the grabbing of the breasts I would have just ignore it unless spoken to after the match. Hadn’t really thought through the eventuality or possibility before the match. Kind of caught me off-guard.

Ha ha. Straight to the point lol. Agree though. I wouldn’t have given it a second thought if their manager hadn’t shouted it across the pitch.

Thank you. I suspected as much but thought I’d check with you wonderful lot first.

I should add; it appeared to happen when tackling for the ball, not when the ball was in the air or anything. I didn’t see anything of the sort.

Hi guys. Me again. Just finished U16 girls match. Mostly fine. Nipped and nonesense in the bud straight away. No real issues. Except: half way through the second half the coach of one team said one of the opposing players kept grabbing the breast of the same player while challenging for the...

Oh cool. Thought I’d totally misunderstood the thread lol.

Do you mean onside here? The deliberate play would, for me, reset the off side unless it was the offside player interfering with the player (causing him to slice, challenging for ball or something)

Excuse the ridiculous use of capitals. My keyboard was set to dutch 🙄
