Nothing.

I think this is a useful time to have a laugh whilst also ‘warning’ them. Maybe something along the lines of ‘probably not best to say that when I’m within ear’s distance of you’ with a smile and a laugh. Could work 🤷‍♂️

The advice is to stand back and observe, take note of what happened and the action you’ll be taking. You’re not a bodyguard/police officer, so you’re not expected to be splitting up players. Was this definitely an u6 match ?

Longer than I’ve been alive 😟

They’re not there. It’s just you, the other 3 officials, 22+ players and the coaches. They’re all you need to worry about. Enjoy the game !

But ‘showing a lack of respect for the game’ isn’t a yellow card because you picked the ball up with your hands. It’s not difficult - you can’t just yellow card someone for picking the ball up if it isn’t SPA, or any of the other things.

In the scenario described, it didn’t sound like SPA, or any of the other scenarios where a deliberate handball is a caution. So not sure where you would be cautioning. I’ve never heard of cynical cheating - if we were handing out yellows for that then most players would be booked every game.

But a deliberate handball isn’t a yellow card in isolation.

If a player just picks the ball up and it’s not SPA, trying to score in the opposing goal or DOGSO but the goal was scored , then what are you cautioning the player for ?

Depends how the second offence happened. Deliberate handball isn’t a caution unless it’s SPA, trying to score in the opposing goal or DOGSO but goal was scored.

If he’s deliberately put his hand out to stop a pass, it must be SPA. Deliberate handball in itself is not a caution. I’ve always said that if they’re old enough to start committing red card offences, they’re old enough to receive the red card. Of course, discretion is important and you might...

Sometimes, the best way to educate someone is to card them. I got booked when I was about 14-15 and I still remember it to this day - it’s the only caution I’ve ever received. I remember the referee who did it too and we laugh about it often. At the end of the day, it was your decision to make...

Caution and indirect free kick. It’s a mandatory caution, too.

Probably all technically correct cards, but not really any bad challenges in the game. The most I’ve given is 8 yellow’s and 1 straight red.

I had a similar issue on Saturday. A very senior player who questioned pretty much every decision. I would talk to him, explain my decision and be polite but it was never enough ! He would get his point across but it was never enough for a sin bin, he was never rude, never swore, but would...

My county - we give our closed dates to the central appointments officer. He then allocates you to leagues on the days you’re available. That’s it. There’s no telling which leagues when you’re available all the time (of course - some circumstances are expected) but it’s quite easy on our part.

What happens if you’re on mid season promotion ? Is the national average still 70.0 ? I can’t imagine they can can change it half way through someone’s promotion ?

I’m just a bit slow 😆

FA Cup extra preliminary round has already been done. Now onto the preliminary round. There are other FA competitions, though.
