I actually saw you take that picture! I was standing there with another chap, fellow refereeing friend. I'll post a pic of me now :P

I went. May have seen some of you guys! But didn't recognise any of you! I'll add a picture of me and Andre Marriner later, so you can see if you spotted me :P

Ah fair enough. Depending on where you are coming, I wouldn't bother looking! For some reason more sports shops in my local area don't stock much for referees!

I was more thinking in the opposite respect of when it blatantly does go in, and the CAR decides to insist that it hasn't (you haven't seen it), then the cheating would come into play!

Personally I wouldn't. Just because as everyone knows, they will probably lie anyway! Just got to hope it doesn't happen again! :P

Reffariiii, it is literally just 1 button for the whole game! You push it to start the game, and then stop it! It isn't that easy! - trust me! After 1 or 2 uses your finger automatically jumps to the right button! The little vibration lets you know you have got the right one! Also, to start...

Had my first assessment today, when I get the report I'll post (the good parts ;)) it on here for everyone to scrutinise :p. Had a bit of a penalty shout, which I honestly didn't see (which I told the players I didn't see), and the assessor said that it was better that I told them I didn't see...

Or when it bounces off their shoulder... Then they smack their shoulder shouting HAND BALL! :eek: Not too sure where their hands are... But mine are at the other end of my arm!

Would have to go with 'In the back ref', from James Field, and 'FOUL THROW'... After every single throw!

If you can't wait that long, why not do what I am doing (for the promo scheme), and join a summer league? Means your season won't stop! :P Will also keep you ticking over for a running start at the start of next season!

Oh, it's just that my brother is playing in the U12 School Cup Final, so thought I may have seen you down there :P

Tealeaf, you aren't doing the School U12 Final in London by any chance are you?

I had a player in a game today who would ask me about the decision. The only thing he had going for him was that he was a nice guy and so I allowed him to have 20 seconds of my time! If it was an arrogant player who was questioning decisions in a negative way, they would have been going into the...

Only problem with that Aled, is what happens if the coach/manager says "No, he's my best player, and my son! I'm not taking him off!" Then what do you do?

I'd still stop it. Much to the (possible) disagreement of the players... If the ball was taken from the attacking team, and a shot was taken that suddenly rolled it, you'd have to give it! I'd save myself the hassle and stop the game as soon as the goalkeeper is injured!

Has anyone been invited to the eve of the FA Cup Final Rally? Just wondering if I'll see anyone there form the forum!:p

Sorry to re-open this thread. However, almost the exact same thing happened in the game today of Sunderland vs Everton. Phil Dowd cautioned the goalkeeper and gave an indirect free kick!

I just got appointed to one. Assistant Referee on an U15 County Cup Final, like Mick and Jojo, I only qualified in September, and so is a pleasant surprise!

Sounds great what you are doing, in fact I was thinking about doing the same thing - by joining an academy. However, the promotion scheme also caught my eye, so I went for the promotion scheme, in which you have to do adult games. So I cannot afford to do the academy games, however I have a...

Try asking your referee's secretary for a game as an appointed assitant. I am sure they'll be able to sort you something out!
