I agree, sometimes yes and sometimes no. It can be a good way to build rapport with players/management etc but sometimes it's best to get the hell outta there lol

Any reckless tackle/foul is a caution so spot on and as the law states to trip or attemp to trip your also correct. I had one of those today also an I did exactly the same as you

Thanks Andy

Nothing like that here in south London, well not that I know of. Am in contact with schools, academy's and sports centres so will see how it goes

Afternoon guys and girls, I live in south London (Croydon) and am looking to get together like minded people to assist me in setting up activities whether it be football, racquet sports or fitness for disabled persons what ever age. I know this will take a lot of work with venues and equipment...

do you know any of the app names, i only know 'you are the ref'

Sounds good!! Nice one Ross

How about a section for members to post photos of themselves in action on the pitch, I can't remember the site which this was on but was really good to see other fellow referee's in action and brought up some good discussions about positioning etc'?

Found this on the combined counties website, could be more in-depth but it's a start? http://www.combinedcountiesleague.co.uk/downloads/Club_Report_On_Match_Referee.xls

Does anyone know of or even better create an app for iPhone or other smart phones that helps referee's train? Not the usual apps like Nike training etc' as they just do running and alike but something with sprints, distance and overall heart rate? I know it's slot to ask but if you dint ask you...

I'm in favour of it, however only if it changes. Currently I agree that the winning side will give you a high mark and the loosing side will give you a low score and that usually gives you a below par average for the game which is unfair, if leagues issued managers with a set list of scoring...

I agree... was technically correct but it was harsh. He didn't stop his run or blaze it into row z, it was an attempt on goal which makes me think he hadn't heard the whistle?

I am not sure on the Hutton incident as was it an obvious goal scoring opportunity, Gomez was only 2 yards away and then did the attacker have the ball under control? I am not sure but at full speed it was very hard to see and MH is a top ref. the disallowed was bizare but from the reply the...

I think the problem lies with the way The FA and FIFA deal with retropective punishments, MC would have been asked if he saw the incident and he would have to say yes, otherwise what would he give a free kick for, and then he would be asked did he take the correct action for what he saw and he...

haha... i like the sound of that! i might try that this weekend! that must break the tension and also scare them into not doing anything stupid again!

this website also has some useful information, links and documents if anyone needs it: www.corshamref.org.uk/

Cheers Andy... that's the same as me when i use my notepad, I think i kinda answered my own question really as it has to be better not to make a bad situation worse by taking a red out and then asking their name!

Morning Guys and Girls, I currently use the write on card system (made my own) and also a notepad (i change from game to game) but cannot settle on one way of doing things, i know each to their own but i was wondering what others thought of this or how you do things: if you use a notepad then...

I totally agree... for me MC is the best. I have the upmost respect for all our senior officals but i think MC takes it for me, his rapport with the players, fitness and positioning is exceptional and he is not shy to take charge when needed. I really do feel for him at the moment and hope he...

I find this really sad. In my opinion MC is the best referee in the premiership and I would really like to see The FA stand up and defend their officals at what ever level they are so we can stop this torrent of abuse from players, managers etc
