Hi all, just after some of your more experienced pre-match instructions. I've only ever run the line in a team of 3, never the middle. And given I should probably get some experience before I work with internationals, I have a academy PL shield game this weekend in the middle. I don't have...

Not to keep reactivating this thread but hilariously I'm told same player tried to play in a Vets 'friendly' and has now received a permanent ban... 🤷‍♂️

Only thing I'm not keen on is "non dangerous jewellery" about as vague as the shin pad being made of suitable materials - who are we to judge And downgrading a Dogso to no card if it results in a goal, think we are just going to see more awful tackles go unpunished because players know if a...

I have gone ahead and purchased one, birthday present as such. Don't yet have it in hand, given the snail slow shipping from Sweden. Just a word of warning that Spintso have elected to undeclare the value of the watch so unsurprisingly I've been slapped with a £50 customs VAT charge that I'll be...

Out of curiousity is it you I bought the XL pair off on Vinted from? small world if so 😅

So I only had the one game this weekend, a local 'derby' if you will. Both sides well up for it. Pitch OK, muddy but bounce test OK, no significant standing water, none in fact, both goal mouths fine, not much mud stuck to boots on my warmup so game on. Been match day coached twice for...

Vinted is fantastic I doubt you'll have much trouble selling them on, it's where I've put mine as gone from XXL to a XL/L in 6 months. If your CFA has a FB or Whatsapp group as ours does, may be worth sticking them in there I nabbed two colours off another ref a few weeks ago.

It's a stretch I'll admit but it's been done before. So we were asked to fill in and expression of interest, paid for flights when selected and still have the tournament fee to pay them directly so I presume it's all through then it's just our RDO is point of contact. One of the other referees...

I can't see why not tbh, ive just found the purple one in stock somewhere and thats got a black tick on it, the length on the shorts are the same so wouldnt look too different i dont think

If wearing the new top and shorts, then yes white tick on both, but colours have a black tick on them so you could just wear the 'old' shorts then they would match, but then I suppose the socks have white ticks as well. And yes I'd say that black on the shorts match the black on the top...

Just curious everyone's opinions really. And I've not seen it discussed yet on here. I've managed to pick up a black long sleeve and a volt yellow short sleeve. They're on kit locker for £30ish and the shorts for £28 which is a bit nicer than the likes of refstop etc at £50ish. Obviously not...

Admittedly I was wrong, have some food for thought for this weekend which I can obviously apply as best I can. I do appreciate the help and advice, and yes I am wrong in regards to retaking throw ins. It certainly wasn't a dig or a judgemental comment about the Women's game. On the most part I...

Thanks all, we had our pre-pre chat call. Arriving Tuesday leaving Sunday. Apparently last years group 10kg was enough, and the hotels used have laundry facilities. Most pitches are 4G albeit not the best condition, I have trail runners and Team Mundials I'll bring with me. Fortunate enough to...

this sounds strangely identical to my game last weekend. A clip from defender to attacker, both straight up handbags effing and jeffing, chest together head together but no 'headbutt' from either. Both as bad as each other personally, temperature of the game heating up so I elect to bring both...

Good point I didn't think of it like that.

I think you've missed some of what I wrote to be honest. I said should the penalty decision have been outside the area it would have been a DOG SO, not in the area? However it was and there was a genuine attempt for the ball so no caution was needed. At no point was I surrounded by four...

Typically find women's football has a lot more foul throws, less about the feet more the arms. Law 18 common sense applies really, don't tend to find the first foul throw until it's a certain player. Obviously I can switch it up and just give every foul throw seen but often or not the game would...

Can those that commented recommend some decent trainers that might hold up, I've looked at trail runners before but not there they're what I'm after? The ones I looked at before were the adidas tracerocker gtx, I think these can be worn by referees as they were on refstore.

Just having a write up of my weekends matches. Saturday - Anglian Combination Div4S - mid table clash, arrived in good time, the home Club are an improved side apparently had a previous bad discipline record. Was a bit apprehensive as they had been on social media moaning about last weeks ref...

Hey all, our CFA have booked us with just a 10kg bag and a under seat bag for the plane. No checked baggage, is this gonna be enough - lol? appreciate its only 5 days but accumulated weight + boots. We are flying the Tuesday morning and returning Sunday evening, appreciate the help above I've...
