Other than advice already given, not much more to add. Tell him to watch you, your actions/reactions to any potential incident and to take his time. I only add the last part as I was assistant on my dads last ever game (he was middle). It was sunday league that, at the time, had enough refs to...

Not necessarily. You realise when players look up and see black, they could well be thinking team mate, pass, and then realise theyve made a mistake.

Had a game, Sunday morning league, where home team had an approved kit of yellow and black stripes but a plain black back. Their numbering was an outline of white. Amount of complaints I got from their own team passing to me because I was wearing black and it confused them.. said tough...

I stayed in Bracknell and then moved to Bedfont. I initially stayed with BBFA before moving to Middlesex FA where I done games in the Surrey Youth League. As long as you send disciplinary info to correct FA you should be fine. Lots of leagues on boundaries understand that refs locally could be...

I only saw one step, his right foot which he uses to balance himself when striking with left.

I watched this and thought the exact same thing. Was really hard to tell who was who on the tv. Tried to pay more attention, I thought, to shorts and socks but then one had white shorts and black socks whilst the other had black shorts and white socks. Again, watching on tv distance it was hard...

Penalty awarded to Germany via VAR for handball. Stuart Atwell is the referee. He was looking straight at it, no obstruction or anything. Yet failed to give it live. Just dont get it, why it had to go to VAR. Anyway, the penalty itself. When do you class the run up to be complete when...

If it is genuinely a card for Gimenez, that makes the refereeing decisions on fouls even worse as this challenge, too, was reckless at best. He was off the floor with both feet jumping into the challenge. On landing there ended up being minimal contact but moreso because the England player moved...

And this was slowed down.

What im struggling with is the situation with who he has apparently booked and the timeline that at least the tv people are telling us from when they've been told info. On screen, live, it looks like Ugarte is booked. Then Ugarte gets another card, following Whites goal, 10 minutes later. Comms...

Its baffling. They're saying the first one, the foul caution, belongs to Gimenez..

Its now being claimed (and Flashscores has updated itself) that Gimenez was the one carded first (despite the ref pointing at Ugarte, walking towards Ugarte, and shoving the card in Ugartes face) and rescinded his second one on field. Dont get me wrong, we can do that if we've genuinely made a...

Thats what i was thinking. He managed to "change his mind" in a second. Is it a penalty though? He put his shot over the bar and the feet made natural connection for me. He has given nothing to England for worse challenges.

Strange but they do have access to comms. If true, can probably see that ref not go to USA.

Wow. Ugarte, already on a yellow card, was shown another yellow card but was not sent off. According to commentary it now "no longer exists"

Awful challenge. Dont even think he gave a free kick did he?

Anyone notice the player, 11 mins in roughly, from Uruguay badly hurt but not hurt enough to shuffle 3-4 yards back on the pitch. Now a stretcher called. Would it be absolute karma if he has seriously hurt himself more by doing what he done. Should the ref have cautioned him, even if a friendly?

Only switched on when I noticed Igor Thiago came on as a sub. But from the 15+7 minutes he was on, he was pulled back when through on goal and no foul given. Not sure why it wasn't, ITV4 didnt show a replay to confirm if ref got it right. Then a few minutes later, Brazil on attack nearside to...

Have to say, thought Bankes had a very good game.

Now Brentford at it. Though the reserve keeper was warming up this occasion. But I really hate this.
