    Trouble Reporting - Whole Game System

    Sometimes it isn't loaded properly, so rather than selecting the specific division from the drop list, there is an option at the bottom of the list saying "all teams in the league". You should find it there. Unless they are a new team, you're either looking in the wrong place or haven't...

    Promotion - how's it going?

    Hopefully not Essex. Got a last minute call pre-game telling me I was being assessed, all went ok and got the mark back already, and finished with an average of 75.4 from my 5 games. That's all of the criteria met, fingers crossed...

    Southampton vs Chelsea

    Quite the opposite Jack. Ignore MOTD pundits. The first foul was by the Southampton player on Kenedy, the assistant then flags for the kick out after this. Atkinson rightly indicates that as he would punish the first offence, which would result in a FK to Chelsea, he plays the advantage. He...

    Just Refereed The Nastiest Match I've Ever Had To...

    It's probably because they've managed to intimidate a young referee in the past that they've acted that way, so well done for standing up to it. Sometimes the only way to deal with it is to get one or two off if they just won't stop.

    Promotion - how's it going?

    True, but as you say there are stricter demotion criteria which I've been told means that more L4s will be demoted based on E-E, D-E criteria. I understood the idea was to have greater "churn" in the system. Who knows, currently I'm going to be relying on club marks as I'm one short, which is...

    Belting pair of Player comments....

    This was one of the contributors to my assault a few weeks back. The players told me I had incorrectly penalised them which was one of the reasons why the player did what he did. He was frustrated when I stopped him scoring (he was clean through) when one of his teammates told me Foxtrot Oscar...

    Promotion - how's it going?

    Good for you. Well done. I'm averaging 76 from 4 assessments, so 1 left. I have 2 fixtures this weekend, both with NARs so I am assuming/hoping that I get assessed on one of them, the deadline is Monday...

    Promotion - how's it going?

    It's quite often difficult to slide tackle without some form of studs up action, so that might not be the best barometer to use. It's normally a case of whether the tackle is aggressive, at speed, the foot is in the air, etc. Kind of "you'll know it if you see it". It sounds like your...

    "Double Header" Fixtures

    But you get £30 for a 90-minute match, and in this scenario you're getting £40 for 120 minutes. If it was properly pro-rata you'd get £45 for the double-header. However, for a kids match, which at a certain age is 30 minutes each way, you get £20. Therefore the £40 is a the correct value...

    Where to Stand ??

    Oh well, I'll think up something more eloquent should the situation arise next weekend when undoubtedly i'll do the same thing. And no, it's not the same over here as it is in Oz. I don't do much kids football, so I have little knowledge about Respect barriers and the like, I was just making a...

    Where to Stand ??

    I went over my local park with my dog today and needed up watching a youth game for a bit. I was standing behind the goal. If someone had told me to move, I would have reminded them I was in a public park. Not sure if talking to your own kids (I.e shouting instructions/encouragement) makes any...

    And what's wrong with a Mondeo?

    I cannot recommend enough learning to do these things yourself. Honestly, if you are remotely savvy with a spanner these jobs are so easy, they seem complex but in reality they are not, you just need to take your time and follow the guides. I taught myself to fix all sorts on my old cars...

    Witnessing another ref "not sending them in"

    Which is pretty much what I said on the first page of this thread. Proactive intervention. Why not let him know you know, you know? :confused:

    Witnessing another ref "not sending them in"

    Any reason why some proactive management at the time wouldn't be better? Something like "Excuse me ref, as a fellow referee I'm sure you appreciate the importance of putting those cautions through. I'm sure you weren't being serious with what you said, etc...." Maybe I'm too nice, but I'd...

    Right I'm all Assessed out....

    Just as a matter of interest, shouldn't you have been formally told you'd gone from 6 to 5 at the end of October? If they've given you another 3 assessments, I'd assume you have been promoted to 5 already, but if your Wholegame a/c is not updated etc. it might look a bit odd.

    Junior/Youth Manager getting sent away... Then not again

    What I meant here was, "No, you cannot dismiss the manager in these circumstances IF he is the only one there" What I should have written. Sorry @xPositor, but the first thought would be to manage the situation and tell the guy what will happen if he carries on, as Dan says. The guy on the...

    County Cup Finals

    Well you didn't mention that bit @DanRicketts . The way it works (perhaps unfairly) is that unless you tell them, they assume you are available and will do the job. I don't know if you are ever going to apply for promotion, but always get your admin spot on and close your dates with County...

    Club assistants - advice please

    Yes you should have them doing offsides. Secondly, talk to them before the game telling them there is a possibility you may overrule them, tell them not to get upset over this, but ultimately it is your call. Ask them to focus on remaining up with play at all times and in general you will go...

    Right I'm all Assessed out....

    Not according to the FA seminar I went on back in October. They are 2 distinct promotion schemes, with their own criteria. What is true is that it is up to the CFA to nominate the candidate so who knows if they have some creative license on how they declare the completed matches.

    Right I'm all Assessed out....

    Good point - you need to have done 40 middles and 15 lines in total since 1st March 2015. 20 middles and 5 lines have to have been done by the end of October (I think) as this was the L6-5 cut-off for double-jumpers.
