Neuer takes the penalties for Bayer Munich and Germany....

oh so now we are going on points? cool. ok then i lost both point. if you re-read my original post, my comments were on the joke side, as blue player informed me he is a ref (at the end of the match every player is a ref) and he was going to appeal it! Thats why i said i had to keep a straight...

@Brian Hamilton never mind the photography guidelines. I knew that you can't appeal an S6, and a more senior referee, confirmed it. Only you seemed unaware of the fact. Oh and on a more personal level, could you post stuff without belittling other fellow referee? We get enough of that week in...

@Brian Hamilton think for a minute how the British legal system work, now add the law of the land, and for good measures add tort law. Also I am rather surprised as an ex referee, and as a observer/tutor, with all your experience, something like this have slipped your knowledge.

P.S. in regard of photography, the FA might have their own regulations, supported by CFA, but as an individual, I have rights protected under the civil laws. So if the ground is not in a public place, anyone needs my permission to film me. End of.

How can a ref be wrong in law issuing a S6? If the ref doesn't know who said what, then I can understand it. But this player shouted it in my face, and reiterated it later in clubhouse full of players. I remember reading that S6 and S7 cannot be appealed, but I can't find the document. @Brian...

@Brian Hamilton Open age About 5 yards I don't know how he did that. Pitch was in club grounds so not a "public" place, only a place open to public, and he still needs permission. Unless CFA have changed the discipline rules, only appeal he has is mistaken identity. Which is not the case here...

Yeah that's what I thought...

Today's game, blue vs claret... Blue player starts getting cheeky with me and after a while I had enough and told him to watch his language. Not a minute after that, blue player in claret PA, tries to shoot to goal misses the ball completely, while challenged by defender, theatrical dive, and I...

As for the report, it was very detailed, saying that i had a good first half. But in second half my standards slipped etc etc, and suggests point to improve. Well i have to say that in second half i was getting bored of giving free kicks for one team, as the other didnt seem they wanted to play...

@Brian Hamilton No the decision to take a break came from feeling fed up week after week of the shenanigans from players/manager. Been called all sorts i filed red cards and misconducts and nothing change. And guess what CFA discipline dept had the nerve to say... I am "allegedly" filing too...

Last Sunday i have been assessed by the Scarlet Pimpernel... Whoever the assessor was, i never got to meet him, neither before of after the game, i only know i have been assessed because an email landed in my email inbox today. I thought that he/she would at least debrief you after game? Go figure.

When is a substitution complete? Also do any of you wait for player to get into position!

So local cup fixture today, red vs blue, a cracking end to end football with not a single long pass.the only time ball left floor was for throw ins. While match going on I realise there is a rugby match going on next field, cup game as well. I get approached from rugby home team boff, saying...

It was only couple of weeks ago i had my first game abandoned, and last saturday had my 2nd. I had both team before and i was expecting a good football game, strongly but fairly contested. And the away team manager and assistant, started to give me grief from 3rd minute in. And their antics...

In my match yesterday, I've sent off a goalkeeper that was continually swearing for anything. After one of my decision, he just went... F**k off, not at me but loud enough for everyone to hear. Called him to me and in a loud voice I told him... I've walked players for much less, now get back in...

I have the team sheet but is so poorly hand written, I can't make out any of it. And on WGS they have only 3 players named.

Unfortunately neither as this took me totally by surprise.

As title yet another first, So blue vs red, red leading 2-1 at HT, blue equalise, and red keeper goes on walk of shame for using the 2 big C words, one of them is cheating. Blue go up 4-2 and with 2 minutes left until FT red captain decided to kick ball full pelt towards me... Luckily enough I...

thanks guys, as i thought... my local league is crying out for referees... every saturday, there is a minimum of 4-5 games without refs. and the league is taking the no nonsense approach... if any teams create trouble for refs, they go in the naughty list, so when ref sec does appointments, the...
