Perfect example of why the handball law is so challenging as a referee albeit anyone to interpret.

Funny story.. I have had another appointment through (my third ever) and I upon looking at the location started to see a pattern… they were a very long way away.
Having then checked my MOAS account my address is completely wrong. Tomorrow I am travelling a 142 mile round trip to run the line...

Last year I had none, this year I have two already.
I know my county nominated me but how do they decide? Random somewhat?
Hi all
I have got my first MOAS appointment. An extra prelim game. This is my first via MOAS and will be the highest level game I have ever officiated on. I am an AR.
What badge do I wear to the game, county ok?
Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks
