Not a natural position and IMO he had enough time to react. If that's me I'm giving a pen.

Hi guys, I've got my first assessment tomorrow and just looking for any tips or advice you's can give me. Cheers.

I've been told by my RDO to never give a handball if it is a result of a miskick / something similar (from the same player). A case to look at was Otamendi in the world cup. My RDO showed us it and basicly he tries to head it away and ends up unintentionally heading it off his arm / hand. RDO...

Red card Excessive force, studs up.

As others have said I always take mine regardless of if I'm the ref or not.

I thought FT was foul tackle?

One of the codes under C1 is HB.

This happened in a match I played in but basicly someone scored and lifted their shirt to reveal a message for a teammate who passed away. The ref didn't book him and noone complained.

Could it not be seen as unsporting behavior since it's a deliberate act to try and stop the ball going in the net?

Deliberate handball.

GK comes running off his line and wins a 50/50 with the striker. Ball sets up for the midfielder to shoot from about 25 yards. GK is running backwards towards his line. Midfielder hits it and completely ****s it and sends it flying towards the corner flag. The GK who has no idea ends up...

Hi guys, I'm looking for an app that I can download onto my phone and basicly just do on my comute. Does anything exist where it gives you a question / scenario and multiple choise answers? I'm aware theres a website but I've forgot the name of it. Any information anyone can give is...

Do you use it for counting another 45? Keeping stoppages or anything else?

As afronaut81 said each FA will be different but mine was this: Day 1 - They'll show give you match scenarios, pens, free kicks, mass confrontation etc... and show you the signals you should be doing (both ref and line). Day 2 - All we did was play matches, taking it in turns to ref. The...

This will be another excuse to get rid of VAR. VAR is not the problem, it's the decisions being made that are.

Had a game on Saturday where the home team got beat. Manager wasn't very happy but rather than come and give me any stick decided to just try and not talk to me. Went and found him in the changing rooms and he says "unless you want £6 mate I dont know what you're doing here". I told him that...

This thread's a bit old but just gave my first one yesterday. Adult game however very low level. The player who did it didn't complain, his team however did. After the game overheard him in the changing rooms saying "yeah I did dive". This is my 3rd season.

#1 - Two players were arguing and generally being a nuisance from the first whistle, both center mid's. 10-15 mins in I pull them both in and said "If I hear anymore arguing between you's I'll just book you's". It was then quiet for about 10 mins before I hear a loud thump and one of them on the...

I'm a Newcastle fan and I find it laughable that some of our fans are trying to say it wasn't a red. I've spoke to others who would have given the red for out of control, but personally I agree with Will, excessive force for me.

Hi guys, I'm a little stuck right now as I've accepted an U9 game despite not doing one before and the manager has asked me how much I need to be paid (including travel). I've been reffing for 2 years and have never once asked for or been given travel expenses and as I've never done a U9 game...
