Got a county cup appointment involving step 7 teams who would have roll on subs in league games. This is in the rules for the competition (don’t want to interpret it wrong). ‘Five substitutes from up to five nominated to the Referee in accordance with Rule 11 below are permitted at any time...

Should we be implementing the new directives from PGMOL and The FA in the grassroots game this season e.g added time tougher delaying restart cautions and cautions for asking for a card? I’ve only seen the Fa email for steps 2-6 but nothing for grassroots.

Thanks both, I still don't understand how the score of each section is added/ calculated to get the final mark

I'll be observed this season for 4w-3w. I've seen that different parts of the observation are weighted differently for the mark. How does this work?

I believe FA appoint to Women's national league

So referees at level 4 and above now receive free kit does anyone know about the women's game? I understand level 2W and above receive EA branded kit already so will 3Ws get free kit as they can wear the new FA badge?

Lightning is forecast during my game today. I’m assuming stop play and abandon the game if there is. Is this right?

Has anyone come across this before? I just stumbled upon it and it's great. It's a blog included clips and analysis for technical development. https://www.croreferees.com/intothebook

I've refed a few games for my school. Normally you get one or two players who will try and play 'the big man' in front of all of their mates. My advice would be to try and get these players on side early and build rapport or show them you'll take no messing and possibly show a card early.

Looking at going for 6-5 and 4W-3W next season. Anyone know if I can have the same games count for both pathways?

I was told on my course that you could ask the opposition's physio if they're willing to administer treatment or abandon. I can't see allowing the sent off person to remain pitch side causing anything but problems.

It's always tough showing cards at youth level especially reds. I had a red in U14 for SFP this weekend. Obviously I didn't make the decision lightly and I was in two minds right until I showed the card but I'm happy I made the right decision. You didn't hear anything so you couldn't take...

I had a game charity game round of 16 in a national cup competition so a big game. I was in the middle with 2 good friends on the line. I felt I managed the game well throughout. As expected the last 10 get more intense with one team a goal down. Had a corner last min of injury time defending...

Can a player be shown a C4 caution before a penalty or should this go down as something else? e.g C1 AA. I can't find anything in LOTG.

I'm a L7 lining on step 6 league. On MOAS it says club reports are available next to the fixture. Are these club marks? And can I access these or is it only for those on promotion or the referee?

Hehe I'm sure he'd love that 😂

I've lost count of how many emails I've sent him this week! He's probably had enough of me by now! 😄 Just though I'd see if anyone knew.

Just had the email from my RDO asking for submission of game logs for end of Q4. Does anyone know when decision/ promotion confirmation emails will be?

Thanks, in hindsight I probably held the flag up too long

Is there a way to signal for a contentious goal kick without looking like offside? I had a line yesterday and I held the flag above my head to get the referee's attention and then lowered it to signal a goal kick. However the other assistant said he though I signalled for offside. Any pointers?
