I'm not really 100 per cent sold it was a genuine attempt to go for ball from that clip particularly as he clearly was confident would only be a yellow and chance of saving it if seen as a genuine go

Sounds fine to me the offside call you made and the rest tbf. Fortunately we aren't there to give decisions on who protests the most!

Still find it half to believe that can't comfortably be done in an hour but then who am I to say! Respect any ref particulately those who have gone up the levels.

What do you actually even do for 90 minutes before a game?

Eh? Made a clear attempt to win ball. Not a red for me no

Agree to a large extent except on last point. If you give yourself a second you can often work out what actually happened. Genuinely no idea then ye by all means

If you didnt see it yourself and based on everything else no I wouldn't bother personally

We have all been there, I can relate to loads of what you said not just in my first game either! In my course thing that stuck with me is that it isn't the good games that will define you it's how you respond to the bad ones. Choose your battles wisely when you are getting used to it all, go...

Did anyone notice right on the stroke of half time (wisely timed) Ederson slid out to collect ball with his hands, almost slid out of area so let go then picked it up again barely a second later. I have seen this many times but yet to see this penalised? You guys would give this as a IDFK...

He started off wth under 18s

No one should feel too sorry for samps on btw. Apparently was on between 100-150k, contract got paid up it was due to expire 2019 will no doubt walk into a new job soon as well

Won't be long before it comes out what and who he has cracked off with papers will be all over it https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/sep/20/mark-sampson-fa-england-buck-passing-daniel-taylor

I suppose it depends on the circumstance. If someone is stood on edge of box unmarked but onside and they are about to take a quick free kick it's one thing. If it's in a general attacking area and they are potentionally about to take a quick free kick no reason not to stop it and allow the sub...

As soon as the free kick is given the play is stopped. Up to referee when the play restarts otherwise how would you ever get a substitute on for example?

Is that why you are called goldfish because you referee using imaginary water lol

If it turns out to be a thrashing they are usually the easiest games if anything.

Hardest thing to do but most beneficial is to take a second before making a decision even on throw ins when feels like everyone is watching you. Also in general get behind the ball when you can.

In terms of kit there is very little to no guidance around what referees wear I believe but first impressions count. Would get a proper top though even if it isn't one of the expensive ones, try gumtree or ebay etc for a used one perhaps. Shorts need pockets but plain black wouldn't be a...

You make it sound like he ended up sat on top of his legs!
