I have seen quite a few level 3’s using one. I know some football league refs use them too.

IFAB have just put out a tweet saying that they have a new website called ‘rules of the game’ and also called them rules multiple times in their tweet. I have always avoided calling them rules as I thought it was strictly laws!

Looks like the EA sports logo is changing on the side of the referees’ shirts. One of the EFL Referees has just posted on Instagram all the new shirts for this season in a box and all the EA sports logos look different.

Yes. The manager came in afterwards asking us not to put it through. He then went on to ‘remind’ the referee of the mistakes he made against this particular team last season! Then said that not putting this card through would build rapport with the ref and the club!! He’s a level 4 and was...

I hope he does get suspended! To be honest, I’ve never had a red card in a friendly before this (and I wasn’t even in the middle!) Hopefully he gets suspended.

I had two games (both on the line). The first game was a step 5 team Vs a step 6 team. 1 straight red card for violent conduct. Away team player punches a home team player twice! Second game was a step 5 team Vs a team who I have no idea about but they weren’t used to NAR’s. 1 yellow for...

I presume that rule doesn’t count for friendlies and cup games? A level 2B in my area uses comms in our local step 5 and 6 league friendlies And I’m sure I’ve seen a 2B or 2A use them which involved a step 2 or 3 team during a cup game.

They don’t usually but we have (I think) 2 level 2B’s in my county and they both have comms kits. However, that is to do with their levels in the womens game. One of them is a 2W womens and the other is a FIFA Referee in the womens game. But I didn’t think that 2B got comms kits normally.

I never knew that. Thank you.

Oh really. I never knew that. Thanks for sharing! I am guessing that they can pick any referee in the PL to do these games then?

Sorry- I meant Salisbury. I know Gillet was fifa listed when he was in Australia.

The PGMOL have just put out a tweet saying that Jarred Gillet is leading a team of 6 PGMOL officials. Michael Salisbury is the 4th official? I didn’t think he was FIFA Listed? Or have I got this wrong? I thought you had to be FIFA listed to do any international matches?

I got picked up on an observation last season as I used a Dolfin whistle and the observer said I wasn’t able to change the tone on it so I should consider a new whistle! I’ve just stuck with the fox 40 since then. I still sometimes get a ‘f*cking hell ref’ So it seems to be loud enough 😅

I like the fox 40 classic. It’s loud and you can have different tones on there. Works perfectly well for me.

Write on cards are okay. Producing a red card will be more ‘difficult’ than a yellow as you wouldn’t really use it the same was as a yellow card. It depends how reliable your team sheets are over here and level. You could get away with isolating the player and just telling them what they’ve...

Do you still need to be invited onto the FA CORE programme? I’ve just emailed my RDO about it as I’m interested in the programme.

I usually wear black but I do also have lots of other colours. Some leagues I do (like the county league, isthmian u18, etc) only allow black. But the youth leagues I do tend to allow any colours. Sometimes I use purple, orange, or turquoise. If a team wear a ‘dark’ blue or black and white...

Ah. I didn’t know they had changed it.

I believe they go straight to 2W? That’s what I was told.
