It feels like they just expect you to know this stuff and others!

Hi all I have got my first MOAS appointment. An extra prelim game. This is my first via MOAS and will be the highest level game I have ever officiated on. I am an AR. What badge do I wear to the game, county ok? Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks

Whilst we are on whistles and one hate the fox 40 and anyone use a acme tornado 2000

I think he has been on it and has let contact go that would usually be called fouls but have no effect on the overall play. Tough sell at Sunday league level some of them!

Any recommendations?

Hi all What’s people’s go to in soaking wet conditions in terms of equipment? Last season I had a laminated ref sheet and sharpie and write on cards and ref six.. all of these failed to work due to the driving rain. I literally had to keep the cautions in my head (not ideal obviously)...

I don’t necessarily agree with this way but … in hockey if it hits your foot on the area it’s a penalty corner. Could we have something similar? If it hits your hand accidental or not it’s a sanction , penalty / some kind of penalty corner? Peoples thoughts?

Loved every minute of my 7-6 and 6-5. Learnt so much. Although it is possible to do at least two jumps in a season I took my time (I also had a young baby) but I kept my feet on the ground and didn’t rush. 2 seasons for two promotions and I found that a good level of challenge. Also plenty of...

If he was stood directly next to him feet touching in an offside position but didn’t make any action still not offside?

Does the keeper have to dive into him for it to be interfering or is the pure fact he didn’t dive because he was there enough

He does the top bullet point for me. Nothing in the laws that says about the keeper being able to save the ball or not. That I can see..

Good advice thanks. Nothing that I don’t already do though. This was a big cup final and I was quite heave on the whistle because of the occasion, not sure there was any problems with that given the occasion

Had some feedback recently.. Try to vary your tone of whistle, every time you whistle it’s loud and sounds like something serious is happening. Now I use a tornado 2000 which is very loud and I like it because it gets attention when I need it to, it’s something I have always used. I do...

Hi all I know there are threads on pre match briefings with ARs. However, I was wondering what people brief their Neutral ARs in relation to penalties specifically, do you allow them to get involved in the decision process? How? When? I have experienced a lot of different ways of doing...

Incident - Injured player for Team A and a free kick. Physio comes on player goes off. Some of Team B players stand at the side of pitch to get a drink 2-4 players max. We are ready to go Team A put ball down I blow whistle and off we go, I then notice the 2-4 players still at the side of...

Hi all I wondered if people do any summer tournaments? If not why not? And What is the best way to go about finding some to get involved with? Thanks

You are also 16 so he has assaulted a child.

As @OldNavyRef eluded to as well .. you have to be a great people person.. you come across people from all walks of life. A willingness to learn and take on board things and a high level of emotional intelligence will help! Some people it’s their way or no way. Some will deliberately throw you...

People on here more qualified to answer that than me.. however I have keenly followed all of the answers on this to make sure I know what I am signing myself up for.. In short yes .. more to loyal time out of house… earlier arrival time, longer travelling and stay after game etc .. for...

If it helps .. I qualified when I was young but I stopped and have recently just taken up refereeing again. I’m now 32 years old. I have done two seasons now and went for promotion from 7-5 in this time. I said to myself that I wouldn’t rush it but I wanted to push myself so I was challenged...
