Sorry if I came across poorly Brian... I'm just tired of clubs, leagues, the FA, seemingly everyone in footballs attitude towards referees... No where near enough is done to keep referees in the game, particularly inexperienced ones

Interesting. While it may have not intimidated you, what if this was a newer referee, who is more likely to be intimidated, who after having his life threatened decides to leave the game. That's my issue here. Let this stuff go and people think it's acceptable. There's a reason why there are so...

You were threatened with being shot and didn't look to abandon the game?!

A caution?? Didn't think about that... He will be getting a mention in my misconduct report so think I'll leave it at that haha

thankfully not on me... Refereeing seniors today, and had to deal with a spectator (yes I should've got a club official, but at first I didn't, that was my mistake)... Approached spectator, asked him to calm down, and move to beside his bench... "No". Approached his bench for help, at this...

Was that Tayls by any chance?? I know he likes a short pre match (or did last time i spoke with him about this)...

In all seriousness... IMO he made a genuine attempt to play the ball and as '2 footed' isn't in the rules I think I can manage the situation. I'll tell his gaffer to sub him and give the free kick... Yellow card for the other bloke to o with his boots, but I probably won't put that in

3 words... Got. The. Ball

'Not w foul throw, just a crap throw' usually does the trick

I would be informing the cfa of how I feel in a letter to the chief exec. I would also be referencing that you are considering your future due to a lack of support from them and possibly trying to get hold of the French guidelines to send to them as well

I thought the referee could be of the level of the lower ranked team, for example in a contrib v supply friendly a level 4 could could do the game?? At least that's what happened last season when I lined such a game

If the player admits it to me im walking him... Didn't dowd do similar in the hazard/ball boy incident??

The referee is acting in a confrontational manner towards the player, which could very easily have led to violence. Poor form

I have it taken from where the player becomes active... Not where he was when the ball was played

I assume it's simply a method of grouping them for email or meeting purposes, nothing 'official' so to speak (unlike 2a and 2b)

I have no issue with players touching me or vice versa... But this is WAY WAY past the mark for me, no need whatsoever to become aggressive like that

From where my AR is stood... Easy way out and all that #RefereeToExpectations (Awaits recoil from the usual few)

Good point!! I'd probably make a bee line for the ball then punt it 'have it' style onto the next estate. Before wheeling away, shirt over my head and whistling like a mad man...

Apparently proactive refereeing is frowned upon. If you leave the ball to enter the goal, one team will complain. If you catch it mid air no team will complain. Why go looking for trouble?? It'll find you anyway

If This happens to me no way am I allowing the goal... Or the ball to cross the line for that matter. I'm getting my arse into gear and catching the ball as it falls. No point causing aggro for yourself when it's easily avoidable
