Obviously I'd rather he got himself sent off - but - he may need a helping hand to push him over the edge / off the pitch ...

@es1 - match control ... until I bin him I'll be pre-occupied with him - sooner the better for my overall match control ...

I've seen referees go out of their way to antagonise players, provoke a reaction - am hoping for something a bit more subtle - but at the same time - effective - I'd rather bin him early on ...

I've got a game this coming Saturday - they'll be someone playing who I really want to send off He may not commit a foul, take his top off after scoring a goal, may not even give me any dissent at all ... but I really REALLY want to send him off !! !! Hints & tips please how I can best find a...

From 3:10 onwards ... runs straight towards the AR too - has it off almost immediately too!

Top flagging too Snr Jones - it being on the side line of the box over your side - I couldn't see it :) ... this from an orange team who said they could take a free-kick anywhere on a parallel line across the pitch ... even more amazing was the GK obeying my request to put the ball down and...

The CFA next door - yep @HRW ;)

Ref'd a very enjoyable charity game this morning - kids coming on taking penalties etc. Ended with 34 players on the pitch :) Anyone beat that ..?

Unfortunately - people will make mistakes / wrong assumptions or things change - if you can make re-arranged games it helps everyone - especially the Competition Officer ... just be clear why you can't make one (helps if you've already communicated your closed dates) We have a county cup game...

My link pops up with the same copyright - stopping it being posted here :( Yes he's a metre inside the area (having encroached through the D!) - but - that's OK for 99.9% of refs out there - at all levels ... let it go ...

They've changed the appointment officers since then - give it another shot next season :)

@DanRicketts - @Monotone Whistle is right about nominations for finals - I'm on 3 leagues in Essex plus regularly put my hand up when the RDO asks for availability for certain games - this all helps - and helped me get a cup final this season ... The Seminar was very good last night - included a...

I blew for an attacker taking a short-cut on Sunday ... did make me wonder if I could have played an advantage should the attacker not really interfere ... Picking on the honourable @Brian Hamilton and @lincs22 - is this situation similar to a foul throw-in that falls to the opposition - to be...

Highlights on the bbc - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35336628 (scroll down a little) 2 reds ... 00:42 03:20 Given the temperature of the game - I like how the referee handled them - especially the 2nd one ...

@Tealeaf - good call - honour in-tact all round :)

@HRW - we'll take this referee if we can have (keep!) Sir Alf Ramsey - born today - in Dagenham, Essex :) @David Sutton - very handy TFL extended out to Romford, Essex recently :)

I still think the ball probably goes out for a 'throw-in' before the attacker could get to it @Tealeaf - still needs to be an obvious opportunity ... in theory there's an opportunity from everywhere on the pitch @Russell Jones - agreed ... extremely tricky does not = obvious ... I noticed on...

Doesn't matter what you toss with - just make sure it flips ..!

You'll get lots of differing answers on here - my own preference was always at least 60 minutes - irrespective of what type of game it was Think of the things you NEED to do as well those you WANT to do and how much time these all take (the list would change for each type of game - but some...

I once managed a 61 minute half (excessive adding on rather than watch malfunction) - hope to beat this record one day :)
