I'm not sure if there's any supply/contrib football on Jersey? That's only a short hop.

Absolutely ;)

Thanks. I've emailed the RDO last week. Information regarding leagues/teams seemed a bit sketchy fro the 5 mins of research I've done. I've spoken to a few refs who have done the journey from the South West (apparently years ago Guernsey fell under the South West and its most Northerly county...

Well that's another season chalked off and due to me accepting a job offer on Guernsey I will start next season refereeing on the island. Obviously I've emailed the RDO and I'll contact leagues etc, but I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience or knowledge of football on the island...

Certainly not going to be OK with that. It would have to be immediately brought up with his manager regarding the suitability of this player continuing. If issues arise then its going to be reportable too but equally we have to take into account why and that the coach brought it up with everyone...

This kid is an u14 and the ref has been aware that he has tourettes. That wouldn't have occured unless the manager was expecting outbursts due to the kids condition and that will be based on previous experiences. We're not doctors, we cannot judge how severe someone's tourettes is. But this is...

We are not doctors. Much like we cannot judge concussion, we cannot accurately judge how bad someone's tourettes is or when the words are the result of a tic or dissent. On that basis the cards are staying in my pocket. Particularly as someone has taken the unusual but much appreciated step of...

It looks bad re the GK encroachment. If the ref had stepped in after the first one and spoke to the keeper before the next one it may have prevented this. Assuming he hasn't spoken to the GKs, which is the absolute minimum reply with that amount of encroachment going on

Post covid it's extremely odd considering how short of ARs the leagues are at step 5/6 and middles at step 7. In my area there's emails coming out every other week looking for refs for step 7 middles

The PFA is a Union and only exists due to payments from players. There's no way they'll do anything that disadvantages players like call for measures which may effect their membership. Fines should be assessed on turnover, like the HSE does. 1% of turnover fine for any club who's player/manager...

Ultimately they have to have a conversation. By just giving offside and the game restarting quickly, which it looks like it did, the ref hasn't given himself a chance. Whether he initiates the chat or the AR by staying on the buzzer, they've got to recognise the situation and give themselves...

On social media someone from the club said they were being observed. Not an easy conversation to have in the dressing room at full time.

I think my error is worse than the referees! Oops.

This is the end of the game. This player needs a long ban. For a referee to have to run off the FOP as he fears for his safety is scary. This isn't some local park either, he is a level 3 referee. Horrendous. The offside itself needs to be separated and looked in its own context. Its an...

Absolutely. I remember my first ever game 6 years ago. I was on the line. Literally spent an hour looking over signals on the Internet the morning before and went to watch a County gane on the Wednesday night just to watch the ARs.

Read up on your signals before the game and if you can go and watch a step 5/6 gameand watch what the ARs are doing and how they are moving etc. Look what hand they are holding the flag in and how/when that changes etc.

I listened to this live from my sunbed in Gran Canaria (sorry!). He spoke very passionately about referees and has more knowledge than anyone thought as his brother and nephew are/were referees. He even said that his brother was on the line for a cup game he was in (which presumably shouldn't...

Perfectly good question to ask. I'm afraid I didn't read the headline properly and now I see that it's at u12 level, so you shouldn't get too many issues I wouldn't have thought...

If they're actually looking at the field of play and not their phone and are within 10m of the 2nd to last defender then consider yourself lucky. Expect absolutely nothing from CARs nd if you get a good one then consider yourself lucky. They're getting £0 and 99% of the time don't want to be...

Makes sense to have such an initiative at youth football (although i doubt its the referee whoa responsible for upholding this). But at mens football, forget it
