Question for LOTG lovers. What would you give if the player has left the FOP, and then commits OFFINABUS, but the incoming sub is still tying his laces/having his kit checked and is yet to enter the FOP himself?

I tend to do a lot of senior ARs of late. Same as a few above really, I don’t tend to get too particular about too many standing/managers leaving the technical area unless it’s egregious or the referee has specifically asked for it to be clamped down on. My instruction when refereeing and the...

Suburban League has some teams in Surrey

Thought so! Couldn't get it to work so have just submitted it as if it was a league fixture and emailed county. First game of 24/25 complete!

Anyone having issues submitting cards from friendlies in WGS? I can’t get anything to load up under ‘other competitions’… could’ve sworn you use to start typing ‘friendly’ or ‘xCounty FA’ and it would show up in the drop down.

Presumably at the least county FAs will appoint some 7-6s to county cup games sooner than usual to help out?

Btw this is the ultimate pre-pre-season thread. Well done @JamesL

As someone who does the catch and flip, I imagine it could also come across - to captains that don’t know your flipping habits - that you are deliberately flipping it to heads after seeing it is tails (for example) as an act of bias. Or at least these are the ludicrous thoughts that have entered...

I’m a catcher and flip it over-er and the anxiety of dropping it never goes away

It's offside - he affects the keeper's ability to try to play the ball while being in an offside position

I’m not convinced UEFA will hand out appointments based on this tournament alone… there must be also some consideration given to their domestic season/Champions League/recent form. I’d expect Turpin to be among the runners and riders for a big game later in the tournament despite a couple of...

I’m mentoring a couple of 7s so will chat with RDO. Both of them did lines late last season anyway so hopefully they can be carried over too.

How does this affect refs already mid-promotion who carried over to next season? Do they have to hit the old requirements or new?

I’ve done it with going to the US and Australia and it was fairly simple… recommend going to your RDO and also trying to contact local leagues/FAs out there to try to find the best contact

Great game of football by all three teams

lol we would struggle as refs if we always had to wear different colour shorts and socks to players!

Not a major point but why are the officials wearing yellow today rather than black? They’re clashing a bit with Onana

Weirdly where I am the Sunday fee is better than the Saturday fee. And yeah I agree that when you’re trying to get your games in for promotion doing Sundays certainly makes life easier

I had exactly the same experience in the 22/23 season with a Sunday league so I decided to start prioritising Saturdays a bit more in 23/24. It was a shame as I am particularly fond of the league - because of the people who run it, how long I have been connected with it and the good nature of...

Keep going. They are less fit than you!
