    RA -FA Incentive Scheme , what is it ?

    I found it very good. Basically - everything you do refereeing related can earn you points. At the end of the season, you send your logbook in - all your points can then be used as a currency. I purchased a full nike kit for example, and saved myself ~£60. The number one fault is efficiency...

    Smoking cannabis on sideline

    When I first started refereeing, I use to referee on a lot of council estate pitches. Often there would be the small of weed - but you are there to referee the game, so my advice would be to leave it, and pretend you don't notice it (others will disagree with me) If you feel like it should be...

    Feeling like a school teacher

    1) In my opinion, you lost control. Once you lose your cool, you are no longer calm, and have to resort to aggressively shouting at players (they would be cautioned if it was vice versa) and in quite a patronising manner - "Come on, quicker!" 2) When sending off the player, one could have...

    Hearing Problems...

    Caution him. The player is trying to con and undermine you. He should have reported this before the game. If he really did have hearing problems, then it would have caused problems before - from which he should have learnt and will remember to tell all match officials... If it was his first...

    Positioning-get wider...?

    Indeed mate - many assessors have different views on positioning, so you'll hear a lot! All I will say about this TI position - do you see many Select Group - Championship - League One etc... officials taking up his position?

    Offside

    Not offside by the sound to it. As it is a rebound, the last controlled play was from the defender, thus the attacker is not offside. If the defender had kicked it out, and the Spurs player headed it to his teammate, he would be offside.

    Open Age had a player who refused to take his wedding ring of but had it taped ....

    4 seasons before open age?! I've seen many referees go from 9-4 in that time!

    Worst mistake you have seen live?

    Always remember the restart! Injuries and mass confrontation! Very confusion situation so I feel sorry for the referee.

    Positioning-get wider...?

    I disagree. Being on the touchline is the worst place. Here are some reasons: 1) You need to keep a peripheral view of all players, if you go on the touchline, your view across the pitch is blocked by a mass of players 2) You cannot monitor the thrower (for infringement) at the same time as...

    Pass Back?

    Yacinho - slow down a bit. No where did you say Herts hasn't set up the wall. Also consider the context of the game etc...

    Getting a round of applause

    The worst one is when you've made a great touch etc..., you look around - and no-one has seen!
