    Spectators on for a fight

    Good luck trying to get them to change that at this level!

    Level 4 - What Happens?

    Neither of those two lads deserve half of that! They walk the whole time 🤣

    Level 4 - What Happens?

    Bloody hell, some immense fees there. £35 for ARs at 5/6 here, £48 for refs. However, expenses on top of that

    Trouble in Paradise

    On this topic: Player SinBinned yesterday (Herbst). Off for 7 of 10min before the 4th/AR (touch judge) allowed him back on. Some unhappy bunnies this easter

    Open Age Ridicolous

    What was the charge for, to warrant just £10?

    Match Official Mic'd up

    For what it’s worth - if we gave everything that could be careless in the PA, we would be giving a fair few penalties! That threshold does change, undoubtedly.

    Dropout rates

    Yep, if said aggressively in any way then it can absolutely become something different. A player forcefully slapped me and tried to wrestle my red card off me. He claimed it was a joke… hm.

    Dropout rates

    I honestly found that slightly funny, but it’s easily open to interpretation of being abusive - just not for me!

    second yellow or straight red?

    This is why I’m constantly advocating for a SinBin to act as a normal yellow card, in terms of accumulation. This player shouldn’t be returning after 10m, they should be gone for the rest of the game if they’re stupid enough to carry out those two events together. It actually creates leeway...

    Ending the match early

    You could have the losing team bring on another player to make it 10v9 or 12v11 etc. - providing they had someone available

    Dropout rates

    Yeah I guess refereeing can quite easily drive you to learn new skills in handling things and people - and can really build skills in that sense, but it can also be a debilitating experience for some, and comments made on and off the field can probably have lasting impact. As you say, fine line...

    Dropout rates

    Yeah - fair comments about age etc. The game is brutal, and somethings are far easier to take on the chin. For what it's worth, I agree with your definitions of what is/isn't abuse - I must just be getting unlucky with some of my games!

    Dropout rates

    What are you defining as abuse? Interested, as obviously it's subjective, but don't know any official over 100 games near me who hasn't experienced it.

    Team Official Second Caution

    If this answer isn’t what I think it is, then I’ve got some rethinking of a couple of incidents this season…

    Changing Room Disturbed

    All I can really say is ask the club to lock it for you? No winning with some people/clubs is there…

    "You're biased ref!"

    He’s allowed to be on the pitch to shake hands. He’s not allowed to be on the pitch to make a beeline for you, and then remonstrate with you. That remains a sending off offence. It is written in law, “including at half time or full time”

    Wolves vs Coventry

    From that still, it is not even close to blatant for me

    What was the right call

    A lovely word in this instance

    What was the right call

    Never reffed 'no header' football before, but if it is banned, the sanction should be covered in competition rules, and not within the LOTG themselves. My gut would be IDFK, meaning you'd be correct, however there's likely to be someone here who can confirm or deny that hunch with competition...

    Players taking a drinks break

    Ultimately its their fault, but good practice to give the whole field a cursory scan after prolonged stoppages, just to pick these things up :)
