Nope. I wait in anticipation!

I always get these types of incidents. Once we are back playing, I like to run along side the player who has been moaning the most about it, who believes he is right and calmly advise, If I deem a word and / or action to be a deliberate attempt to distract then I will deal with it, to which I...

Haha I skip out of the door on matchday!

He was a top guy, he is 26 now (I believe thats what he said) but fair play to him. If you work hard and are dedicated you can go far! I'd love to follow in his footsteps!

HAHA I tried to get a Sunday appointment the day after, but she was having none of it!

I got my first three league middles out of the way already, and this weekend I am an assistant on the Combined Counties League. All great experience. Looking forward to it..... then I have a two week break (as I am getting married on the 4/10/14 so need the weekend before to sort things out).

We had our first society meeting of the new season last night. Our guest speaker, also our society member was Football League Referee Charles Breakspear. Very good presentation looking at different scenarios and all round nice guy. It is the Surrey FA Referee Meeting on the 29th October and...

I am likewise going to try my luck on this... I will let you know how I get on and at leasT we will be on the FIFA list.... if only a stationary list... WE'VE MADE IT!

They way I saw it, I allowed a little more time pulled it back and dealt with it by way of a caution... it didnt come into my mind to send him off for DOGSO, I could be right, could be wrong but I dealt with it how I saw fit at the time. I got no complaints from the attacking team, most probably...

This was on Saturday at District level, but I would class a Sunday league level in terms of standard. I made the decision that a caution was sufficent for the deliberate trip, not a sending off for DOGSO as a shot was taken and well saved. I weighed it up in the heat of the moment, that it...

Had an 'incident' on Saturday. I believed I was correct in law on how I handled it. What are your thoughts...? Attacker, runs into the box, skips past the tiring Defender. Defender then trips attacker deliberately and makes contact. I am 5 metres away, but hold off blowing whistle for a second...

ITV1 today at 5pm if you're interested :)

If anyone is interested, it went well and I discussed my refereeing! I will let you know when its being aired, which should be within the next few weeks. I can't say what happened as I an contracted not to do so, I am hopeful I won't come across as too much of a thicko... praying I am edited well!

Its a brand new quiz show called 'Gift List' so we are getting used to the format. We have done some practice rounds and go through again on Saturday before the cameras. I thought referee gear was a must on any wedding gift list... for a referee... the day is all about me ;) When I know it is...

Just if anyone was interested or likes quiz shows, the fiancée and I will be on a quiz show to win our ideal wedding gift list and a honeymoon. We are filming on Saturday at the London Studios but not sure exactly when it will be aired.... why am I creating this thread... Well one of the...

I have another assistant referee appointment for the 29th July, another Combined Counties League Premier Division side. In the middle the other day was Marcus Carmichael. I learnt alot, very impressed.

Welcome Dave!

Welcome. I agree, go and watch some local games and say hello to the referee.... approach in a friendly manner! I remember when I did this before I passed, just for a chat at full time and I remember the referees face thinking who is this stranger approaching me and what does he want. It...

Oh no. Hope it heals ASAP. I have got another assistant appointment today, evening game contesting a Combined Counties League Premier Division against a Isthmian League Division One side.

First appointment of the 2014/15 season tomorrow as an assistant between two teams from the Combined Counties League Premier Division and Sussex County League respectively so it will be a very good standard. I am hoping to learn a lot tomorrow from the appointed referee who is a Level 3 and...
