    Refsix (July 2025) and Garmin Watches

    Finally got to bottom of it with Jon’s help. On the iPhone ensure the garmin watch is in connected mode by launching the garmin connect app. While that stays launched you open REFSIX on both phone and watch and the sync will work. Sometimes on the iPhone the garmin connect app is active in...

    Refsix (July 2025) and Garmin Watches

    Thanks for replies. Absolutely I've found loading up the refs app on the phone first helps. I've also found that once it get messed up the only way forward seems to be uninstalling/restarting/reinstalling the app on the phone. It's a great little app, but I'm a bit nervous relying on it given...

    Refsix (July 2025) and Garmin Watches

    Hi all. New thread ;). Does anyone use the latest version of Refsix on a Garmin watch with success. I've wasted about 4 hours over the past few days trying to get the bluetooth working between watch and phone. Having tried all sorts of remedies, in all sorts of combinations, I'm coming to...

    RefSix

    I'm a new user of Refsix. I'm using a Garmin Forerunner Watch. I'm having constant problems getting the bluetooth connection to work, and consider myself tech savvy. I have finally got a pairing between watch and phone after uninstalling on both, performing a hard reset on both, and removing...

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    Great explanations, I might add with the example of a parry the keeper isn’t in control of the ball, whereas throwing into his own goal he is?

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    Yes as Chas pointed out that’s a thrown own goal from open play, yet a thrown goal from open play into opponents goal is not allowed… (law 10).. seems inconsistent..

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    I’m coming to the conclusion that understanding the laws better is the best way to project confidence. I’ve tried to style it out before …

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    - can’t score a direct own goal from GK, CK, FK, KO - can’t score any direct goal from a throw-in - GK can’t score direct thrown goal into oppo’s goal. - but GK can’t score score direct thrown goal in his own goal….

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    Thought so. Seems a bit inconsistent with all the laws against directly scored goals..

    GK throwing ball into his own net.

    Hi folks. Just reading the LOTG again. I note you can’t score direct from a throw in (inc. own goal). Also in Law 10 the GK can’t score directly from a throw into the opposition’s goal. Which left me wondering where do we currently stand with GK throwing direct in his own goal? Cheers

    Heading U7 - 11 rule changes

    Confusing statement. Looks like it's U11 and below. The U12 year was just part of the trial.

    Thanks for clarification, makes sense.

    Forest Vs Liverpool

    Thanks for reply. Another example: Blues have ball it deflects off the ref to the Yellows, ref blows up and gives drop ball to Blues. i.e. the whistle comes after the decision to stop - the whistle isn't some absolute time/position of when play is stopped. So..... why are so few...

    Forest Vs Liverpool

    Newish referee here. Asking you as L4. My understanding is the referee stops the game, and then some time later blows his whistle. i.e. the whistle isn't an indication of where the referee decided to stop play. So in this example the ref may have decided to stop play while still in the box...

    Social Media

    Newish ref, had a break, restarted doing the odd line. Today was a Step 7 game which was a bit depressing. Players questioning the refs ability with many of them not up to date with the recent rule changes. Top it off, finishing with tarnishing match officials on social media. Is there, or...

    Tournament Cards and Reporting

    Morning, Newish Ref here. Was spectating at my son's tournament yesterday. It was U16, and some pretty rough tackles, ending in one large lad punching a couple of the opposition players. No one hurt thankfully. He was given a red card, and the game abandoned. My question is do games...
