Are you a 5-4 candidate? I've had 45S added to mine, guess 45A = Annual, 45S = Season?

To be fair to him, he'd already become a L7 before this initiative came about. Clearly had an interest before the PGMOL/PFA initiative. Looks like Carl Baker (formerly of Coventry) might be another one of the group judging by posts on X. Interesting how he gets on and where he officiates this...

I'm on pair three now. Have to get a size down compared to usual shoe size but perfect for the job. If anyone has any recommendations on any tongue straps for them I'm all ears. Currently lacing over the top of the tongue and think it looks a bit messy.

For those who haven't seen/heard the Mic'd Up footage Mentioned earlier in the thread about AR2 and how he was very agitated with the flag. The feedback he gives Kavanagh back up what I thought at the time and the influence he had in the decision. VAR's got to recommend an On Field review...

Brilliant, that's what I did but thought I've dropped a ball here somewhere.

Had a odd one in a game this morning and whilst I've sold the restart I reckon it was wrong in law. Attacking FK for Red team. Wall is two yards inside the penalty area. FK taken and two members of the wall have attacked the ball early and one of them has turned and hit him on the back inside...

I've seen him 2-3 times in the flesh, and knew about this reputation he's built particularly on dissent. But my word, he was relentless! The armband isn't a free pass to constantly question the decisions of officials. Will be interesting to listen to this incident on Mic'd Up, as surely this...

I was at the game yesterday (neutral, no skin in the game for me so no fan nonsense coming!) and didn't have a great angle of the contact for the SFP incident. AR2 was flagging very agitatedly when it happened and I thought Red by looking at AR2's action. What did strike me however before the...

I would let the Referee know it's your first game too as they'll no doubt give you pointers. Pre-match should give you a good steer as to what to expect and the Referee's expectations of you as an Assistant. The basics such as keeping your flag in your left hand you'll pick up too, remember my...

There's also the Lancashire Football League which is midweek U23 football, East Division covers some Manchester clubs. Usually a L4/L5 in the middle and always in teams of 3. If you need information I can point you in the right direction to the Appointments Sec.

I've been doing OK, ticking along. Few aims for the rest of the year from a 5k / 10k and looking to continue to reduce my Body Fat % (26.8% in January, down to 19.3% the start of this month) and incorporating hill sprints / box to box runs as part of my usual exercise. Was all going great, then...

Just read the A&H email and this bit at the bottom has confused me no end. PGMOL Match Officials will continue to exclusively wear the 2023/24 jacket & pant for the 2024/25 season. Therefore, the jacket and pant you see on choice here is purely to match with the training top, polo and midlayer...

I think my tolerance levels have changed somewhat over the course of the season too to be more confident in identifying cautions (especially the more technical cautions of C4/C5) Working on the line with more 4s at Step 5 has given me a lot more confidence in what I'm doing in the middle. Can't...

Calf injury in late August (3 weeks) Hamstring in November (9 weeks) Got lucky to a certain degree too with the amount of midweek games at the back end of the season, just checked my spreadsheet and realised I'd missed off last nights last game. 18x Midweek 18x Saturday 18x Sunday 31 Middles...

Also gained my Level 5 this season. Plan to have a full year as a 5 before considering whether to push for 5-4. The time commitment with two kids and a fairly commute heavy job are the elements that's making me hold off 5-4 for now. 53rd game of the season last night, that's me done now until...

After some help if possible. I've managed to get hold of a couple of Match Shirts but they currently have the EA Sports badges on the sleeves. Is there a safe / easy / non-damaging way of removing them at all? Don't particularly like them and would rather remove them if I'm going to use them...

There's a directive from the EFL for Academy football between U9-U16 to have no cards shown during games and enforced substitutions to be in place. All games played on a friendly basis and no results to be published externally. I've attached the Matchday Provisions pack if that helps (and is...

100% this. I'm a 6-5, and personally I've learnt a lot this season from being an AR to L4s (some now at L3) at Step 5/6 as well as doing Academy games. Lots of little tips and different ways of working, but feel that my own middles have improved as a result. Well worth it.

Newitts worked out cheapest for me if you're buying 3+ items (£7 delivery). £50 for the current Tracksuit but look under Football Clothing rather than Referee (Black/Volt match shirts and the shorts/socks available in that section) Kitlocker with new buyer discount / free delivery over a...

Captain & Manager name of both teams (teams initialled home & away so for example Abbey United v Bradley United would be something like the below): AU Ben / Steve BU Dan / Brian When R, I'm using a YC that's a self-made write on with the following columns: Team/Number - Name - Minute - Code...
