Majority of the time no caution and just a warning. The goalkeeper won't bang the bar as the kick is being taken because it would affect their ability to make a save (arms are all over the place). I let the keeper bang the bar for the last time, wait for the bar to stop moving and then whistle...

Okay, that's what I did and I've been trying to be aware of celebrations more rather than head straight in the book.

Simple query: Team scores a goal and are celebrating then subs and a sin binned player enter field to celebrate with the rest of the team. Are you warning them, ignoring them or cautioning for entering FOP?

Not so easy when only one of you to manage and players never wait on half way and always cross on the pitch. If there's multiple subs I wait until I think they're finished and count players before restart.

How long is the roll over? Is it into the new season?

Especially at youth spectators and managers tend to be worse. If you check the laws of the game there's quite a lot of extra offences for technical area occupants. It might help to look through this as you might find you recognise a bit more misconduct from the side lines you can stamp out early...

I completely get this, I had some shockers early on. I had two kids in an U13 game who were just taking the mic. There was a clear delaying the restart which I knew I should've cautioned and didn't which essentially led to me losing control. Your confidence will build though particularly with...

I had a lot of games when I was starting out where I felt like I was losing control. The main reason I always found for this was not showing cards. Although you might not feel like showing cards in youth matches they're incredibly useful and powerful when you get them right at the right time...

How often do you end up dishing out a caution after the stepped approach? Am I doing something wrong and not using the process effectively or is it normal to be cautioning when warnings are ineffective?

Just a random query; how often are you cautioning a player for a slide tackle foul? Is going to ground enough to constitute reckless as there's a possibility of a dangerous outcome and the player should be aware of this?

I've looked through the assessment criteria for 7-6 and 6-5 (as this is most relevant to me) but I'm just curious what people would expect of a good or average referee at each level?

My first year as a referee ⚽️ 42 matches 🟨 45 yellow cards 🟥 2 red cards 🏃‍️ 233.72 km

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Is it best to contact RDO to sort CRC?

Okay, I'm considering going for the February promotion, I turn 16 this week so I would have to get 10 middles in from 14th Jan to end of Feb with a school event one weekend and lines on the county league this has became a very slim window. So I don't know whether it would be more sensible to...

As far as I'm aware there's not much difference between 7 and 6 is this right?

😂😂

I'm doing my 7-6 and there's a section on the assessment about optimum position at kick off I've got my first coach visit in the new year so I'm just wondering what the best position is.

There's been a few recommendations to watch other referees, if you wanted to do this there's load of full matches on youtube so you can see some of the best referees in the world. Of course you don't have the pressure of being out on the green stuff with everyone looking at you but sometimes...

Thanks, that helps a lot

No reaction from team b that I remember, it’s all a bit of a blur but a huge reaction from the team a
