I was an assistant, so I am with going with the referee who is a Level 5 as well as the other assistant referee.

For me on Saturdays at district level, the match fee is £30.00, at county level (Step 5), assistant referee is £32 and referee I believe is about £45? On Sunday, the match fee is £30.00 or £40.00 for a double header fixture.

Has anyone seen this? Interested, but who gave permission to wear a camera, shall we all have a GoPro on our heads? http://www.eva.co/blog/bad-tackle/ I don't know what County FA (One team is wearing a Watford kit though)

Its probably because the Kent County FA are loving the extra income ;) the Kent FA Xmas party has gone from a pub to trip abroad! Who cares if it is a late appointment, games like that offer great experience so enjoy it. If its like the last game as you say the referee has a hard day ahead of...

I have my first personal hearing coming up in relation to a game where I was an assistant referee. The referee and other assistant are also attending. I cannot say anything about the incident(s) for obvious reasons but has anyone attended one, what should I expect? Obviously wear a suit with...

Massive congrats! Hope mother and child are doing fine!

When I say 'youngsters' I mean in comparsion to someone that has one foot in the grave! Saying that, if it wasnt for the older members then there probably wouldnt be a society at all. I have only good things to say about it, I am sure all societies have their pro's and con's! I enjoy getting...

@DaveMac oh so true! It rained HARD all game, even to take names down for cautions it was very hard as paper and water do not mix well!! I am thinking, get as many games in now before the weather really takes hold!!

I would say yes, and with the remark of it being an old mens club, unless 'youngsters' attend, that would never change would it? It is each to their own if you want to put aside a few hours a month to attend meetings. We have had very good guest speakers at ours, which include Football League...

Had a game yesterday, awful, AWFUL weather. It literally hammered it down hard for 90 minutes, how on earth the surface held up I do not know. I had in back of mind, this could be abandoned if the pitch holds the water. It was one of those games where one side were hell bent on arguing on...

Surrey FA annual event this evening, looking forward to it!

Sometimes an assistant would not have as good as a view as the referee. It would have all be pre-planned, i.e. lots of eye contact, if you are not sure look at my hand, the reason so the signal is the same. It looks very tidy I agree, also it takes out the awkward moment, neither are sure who...

Touch wood, I dont think I have had a major clanger yet.... cue major clanger on Saturday now!

Had a League Senior Cup fixture on Saturday, player slid in on another, but player ends up dislocating his shoulder, so no magic sponge is going to sort this, also no club physiotherapist / trained person to assist. Cue, opposition centre back who is a 'personal trainer' who says he will help...

Also well done, first OA game will always be a little daunting, hope you enjoyed it!

Love this!!

@haywain I have not got down to Dorking... yet. I did Dorking Wanderers in a pre-season friendly but they were away, but I am on the Combined Counties now, so I am sure I will find my way up there soon, or if the County send me that way for a County Cup fixture. @Ross I will send you a message

Many thanks

Second RA meeting on Monday which will be good, followed by the annual Surrey FA RA Evening on Thursday with special guest Mr Howard Webb MBE. Really looking forward to it! My week, next week is then: Monday - Monthly Referee Society Meeting Tuesday - Charlton v Bolton Wednesday - Studying...

I thought you would all appreciate this. I have closed off this weekend refereeing as I am getting married, however I thought for our cake topper it should really incorporate refereeing as it plays such a big part in my (our life) as its all I ever go on about! This is the final design!!
