One that has plagued me for a while now. If a player denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity by handling the ball, but the movement of the arm is justifiable by the player’s body mocement for that specific situation (eg: turning the angle of their body on the line), is it still an offence...

Congrats to everyone promoted up to 4, and retained! All well deserved and worked for guys!!

The mentor workforce is run so thin. I wasn't seen by anyone until my first Match Day Coaching - over 40 games refereed before that point. If you find yourself moving up (I'm sure you will), definitely get involved with mentoring!

Nice to hear a positive story about the first 5 games for once! Even though there are testing elements, encountering them now stands you in good stead for the future, as you will build up resilience and the skillset to manage them. As you and James rightly point out however, encountering these...

Email your RDO, they can advise. There is also an automatic update process, that I know others on here are familiar with and will likely explain soon.

He's not a qualified referee, and not to downplay his contribution(s), but in this instance, I can see his bearing on the situation. I am repeatedly told by many football and non football stakeholders who aren't referees, to walk away, and they cannot comprehend how I deem reffing to be worth my...

How would you plan to mitigate Rusty’s situation, with a potential bus chucker a month after a bad mark! Had an L3 observe an L4 this season on Tuesday, who were then on a Step 3 game together on the Saturday.

Wine Gums or Tangfastics are the bankers.

Email your RDO and ask the dates for your County FA. Mine has 5 dates, spanning from May to September.

When SinBinning, the approved signal is to point to the touchline. This can be done with one arm, but I use two (I have a photo of me doing it somewhere if that helps?). This signals to all spectators and participants that the caution comes with a 10mins Temporary Dismissal

I believe they’re getting at something along those lines (trying to attach a working link)

Yeah has always gone both ways. Not saying it’s a prevalent issue, but do hear some use it as an excuse or a reason. Guess there’s the age old accountability conversation to be had there.

Without saying whether I buy into it or not, there are many inklings of older observers not liking new, younger officials. Whole host of reeasons are supposedly behind it.

Rugby runs Stop Clock. Referee will indicate 'time off', usually by whistling and pointing to the watch. At this point, the stadium clock, as well as broadcasting clocks are stopped, until 'time on' is given again. A good system, and works very well (although can lead to halves lasting...

If he wants to be a kn*b, let him. Put the name in on WGS, attach an extraordinary report stating you believe he provided a false name, as it isn't on WGS. Let the CFA Discipline team have him for acting like a U12 player himself.

I’ve done a season on NWCFL. Admin is standard on MOAS. Closed Dates 2 months in advance, must notify the secretary by email outside of that timeframe. Must give 1 Saturday a month minimum. I sit on the boundary of D1N/D1S, and have most the Prem Teams near me. You will get paid expense, 35p...

World famous I am! My new profile picture must’ve tied it off for you. Must have some mutual friends along the way I imagine..?

What level game is it? If we're saying a grassroots, Saturday game. 14-14:15: Arrival, introduction to managers 14:15-14:30: Prepare kit, check the pitch 14:30-14:45: Get changed for warm up, and then warm up! 14:45-14:50: Leave pitch and change into match kit 1450:-14:55: Take equipment...

While the code doesn’t make any material difference, C1-TR I’d say. C3 is more about when you set them up for the fall, and they then commit another offence. Regardless, well done on dealing with what you were presented. Next one gets easier and so on so forth

As others have said, could technically caution him, but that’s like pressing ‘self destruct’ on your match control. Easiest way out is just be cautious of that player, run away from the free kick and get playing moving again. They’ll soon forget! Well done on reaching the end of the season! :)
