Never heard of it before has anyone else? Shaming refs that have something else on after accepting an appointment (excuse me for having a life, family members get extremely ill, urgent hospital appointment, fancy whats on screen 3 at cinema - who am I to make such a JUDGEMENTAL call of...

makes it all somewhat farcical as does the midweek games kicking off 6pm that really are a lottery who is available and can actually field a team at that time

regret with what double headers?

it was difficult yesterday i had two youth teams that just wanted to play football no serious incidents no cards required. YES the wind had an effect a pen for example had to be retaken as the wind kept blowing the ball off the mark but with goal kicks I had to [you insert an obvious...

Thanks

Thanks its disgusting that stiff like this still happens in the game

Yeah thanks will be as a protected characteristic is being abused - im sure you can guess what

For sure, combination of info county and league have and yeah including a few misfired communications yep I'm confident I can prove a case here.

Its discrimination for sure

Other refs pick up unallocated matches im refused

I definately woodnt have league support. I already know that. Insurance I guess not as I'd just be a 'Dad/older brother/friend' helping out. Turning up in kit taking it seriously usually gets clubs players etc on board at the start, but of course no guarantees for full duration of match. Does...

Trouble is I know league would get hump yet I could be a parent that just happens to have some black football kit boots whistle handy and kinda knows whats im doing. I know some clubs would jump at the opportunity and even ask if doing an earlier ko can you the game after and vice-versa...

Wish I had that grateful response. Do you find if you contact clubs or vice-versa that leagues get the hump? Could easily collect names and numbers there are so many games not covered.

Gone from bad to worse I will be taking action regarding discrimination. Hard to believe. Its hard enough being a ref without the hassle from within.

Isnt the mistaken identity the role of the county FA? If its sub names spelling etc clubs have their own forms. If its to e.g. provide a mark for home club assist ref why dont the league ask me as ref my own markings? (Yes thats not how it works which is why im wondeeing why would you ask a club...

Youth match return sent to league per normal. Notice of cautions dismisal and extraordinary report (just creation applied to club no details). Nothing out of ordinary. Then get copied in league have asked each team to complete a refs match return 'AS IF' they were the ref. Also request ref...

Are the fitness tests ever properly representative of match day anyway?

Whole game will have entries just make up a report then delete dont save as players name and spelling listed there.

For me enjoyment rather lack of is definately corrolated with respect from 3 areas: 1. colleagues,leagues and other refs 2. Sidelines of coaches/managers 3. Club officials not on sidelines e.g. club secretaries and treasuries. Example of each: 1.can you do game x when ive stated i can only do y...

Thanks for all the replies and there certainly is an advantage of supply/demand for refs to have more freedom of choice to meet personal circumstances.
