    Haha I was trying to stay incognito before I say something that upsets someone and someone knows who I am! But thanks!

    Tape for badge

    To be fair, I believe it probably the most common shape for a county badge. Manchester, Lancashire, Herts, Wiltshire, Derbyshire, Devon, Hunts, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Amateur FA... etc...

    Registration 2026/27

    Same boat as me. June is already my poorest month due to no match fees, so I'm not rushing to make myself £30 poorer. That can be paid out of the end of June pay as match fees return from friendlies in July.

    Tape for badge

    I just use relatively basic double sided tape. I put a strip around each edge and then a cross strip in the middle. I don't think it's ever come off.

    Ear moulds

    I’ve heard of another company that can make one compatible with the vokkero kit and are cheaper than VOGO. I will check it when I get mine sorted and if successful I’ll post their details on here

    Arsenal vs PSG

    I actually thought the referee was excellent last night. Correct not to 2nd caution for the PSG penalty, 2 correct non penalties (albeit I am a little surprised Saka’s handball wasn’t given serious consideration with UEFA handball interpretation). And he blew for half time because Arsenal were...

    Difference between L4 - L3

    I would say that the difference between step 5 and step 4 is very minimal, but when you do a step 3 game you’ll notice it! It’s a lot faster, the players are a lot more talented.

    It will mean something along the lines of whether you are a dual referee / ar at step 3/4, specialist referee or specialist ar... I don't have the actual codes.

    Law changes: Throw-ins

    Also, not a unique issue to grass roots. I've had to caution the closest player before when nobody stepped forwards to take one.

    There are still level 4-3 assessments today. But yes, I would agree it will probably be out tomorrow.

    Cremonese v Como

    This is good advice. I ran the line on an FA cup 3Q game last season. A player went down for a penalty shout and I said 'No' down the comms as the referee blew the whistle and gave the penalty. I then stepped on to the field too hastily, which invited players to come and protest at me, and...

    Ear moulds

    I'm thinking the same way tbh. Need to get one sorted ASAP. I have had advice to do it and went to do it before, but I booked an appointment with specsavers for the mould and then when I turned up they told me I would need to book an appointment again... The advice I had previously was to ask...

    Grassroots Corner Trick - 'Ball In Play' Shout To Referee - Y/N

    My strongest view on it is that if I’m not told, it’s definitely not happening, as they can’t have the best of both worlds. I don’t disagree on your view. And I have only had someone do it once and that was years ago. I may have a different view on a step 3/4 game

    Grassroots Corner Trick - 'Ball In Play' Shout To Referee - Y/N

    No I agree with you on the closing point. I will always assume to start a match that the ball isn’t kicked, then if they tell me they’re doing that I will accept it, but any further occasions of similar, whether I’m told or not, will be treated as taken

    Seasonal 5-4

    I'm on a little bit of a wind up, I think any observer fee increase is largely justified as I know the time it takes! (Or the time that most observers take)

    Grassroots Corner Trick - 'Ball In Play' Shout To Referee - Y/N

    The bit in bold is exactly why I think it's important that an official is told... If I know, then I can act accordingly.
