It was one of those games where a referee could say 'is this worth it' and walk away as it's not worse the abuse.

I refereed a senior open age double header, to say it was an easy game to referee is an understatement. First game, it was clear one side were going to argue every decision and scream foul throw every time their opponent took a throw in. I had management arguing every decision also. Away player...

I have just been emailed to let me know I have been appointed as a fourth official for another cup final, being played at Sutton United FC. I'm over the moon, two cup finals, one as a referee and one as a fourth official... I wonder if I will get another, would love to get an appointment as an...

Well on Sunday I was an assistant in a Vets Semi Final. Very good game. Ended up 1-0. I then got in the afternoon from referee secretary from my Saturday league (I referee Saturdays and Sundays) to let me know I have been chosen to referee a cup final on 22 April with a 7.30 KO under the...

I refereed a league cup semi final a couple of weeks ago and was appointed two assistants. It was a great experience. I was told on Saturday I would get an appointment for a cup final (not sure in what capacity yet though). I will await the news in anticipation!

I always ask the manager of both sides if they have any subs and if yes I ask for their names. No names in my book, they are not coming on. When a sub is being made, I call that player over and ask him for his name, if it matches up, great, if not then the sub does not take place. I have not...

Weather permitting..... I have been appointed my first Saturday Premier Division game on the 1 March (open age). I am relatively inexperienced and have previously been appointed to lower division fixtures, but cannot wait. Nothing has been appointed for me this Saturday as I have a wedding...

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this. I came across it via Twitter. I am personally disgusted by it. I have not managed to see if firstly the referee is okay which is the main priority. I have the County FA and Police investigate thoroughly which I am sure they will...

My game was again off. I'm praying will be on next weekend but I think the Atlantic Ocean causing havoc will see that it isn't!

If you can get the games why not. Lots of experience!

Nope mine was off again. Forecast suggests more wet weather this week so confident will be off again this weekend. Will be forced to watching egg chasing too!

I thought it looked deliberate. Swung in frustration due the 'challenge' by Chico Flores whilst staring at the referee. He meant it. Webb got advice on it from one of his assistants, straight away could see Webb hold his ear piece.

Took the player before the ball. Correct decision. Twitter was going mad at the time.

Out of curiosity why do you believe it is a caution? He lunged at an opponent with excessive force which he did so serious foul play? He didn't attempt to play the ball. No way would it get rescinded

Well Moyes thought Vidic was only a caution at best and Rafael, he didn't see the incident.... funny how management are first the criticise decisions but most appear not to watch the game

The funny thing is was both reactions of Vidic and Rafael being surprised by the reactions of the cards! A very bad case of lack of discipline for both players. I've not seen Moyes reaction yet....

A view of the Vidic attempt of a tackle. Both feet off the ground, at speed and he got nowhere near the ball!

I personally think Vidic red was spot on. It wasn't reckless, he had no intention of going for the ball, he simply took his opponent clean out. As soon as it happened I said that's a straight red. Clear endangering an opponent. The Rafael incident was shocking. Cahill is lucky he hasn't got a...

Just got an email from my referee secretary that due to the bad weather and the waterlogged pitches I will not get any fixtures this month. I was available on Sunday but for the following two weeks I am busy with a christening and being in the USA for wedding so not all bad. Lets hope February...
