I usually wear black but I do also have lots of other colours. Some leagues I do (like the county league, isthmian u18, etc) only allow black. But the youth leagues I do tend to allow any colours. Sometimes I use purple, orange, or turquoise. If a team wear a ‘dark’ blue or black and white...

Ah. I didn’t know they had changed it.

I believe they go straight to 2W? That’s what I was told.

My stats are: 85 middles this year. 41 games as AR When in the middle: 149 yellow cards🟡 (Average of 1.75 per game) 13 sin bins. (Average of 0.15 per game) 11 red cards🔴 (Average of 0.13 per game) Games as AR: 41 games. 126 yellow cards🟡 (Average of 3.15 per game) 7 sin bins. 12 red cards...

I have been wondering for a while where I can find a certain notebook. It’s from A&H which have obviously closed down. It’s quite a long notebook. It is a bit longer than most normal notebooks and I’ve worked with a couple of referees who have had it recently and I want to get my hands on one...

That’s not a good look for the officials. If it wasn’t bad enough before that!

I heard the commentators say that and I looked at Madley and it looked like he was waving him down!

I agree. I also find the shorts back pockets and the shirt breast pockets Velcro has too much stick. I don’t wear the shorts anymore as I couldn’t get my notebook out of my back pocket. And the shirt pockets are quite difficult.

It’s a huge difference! And you can see when the reports come back. If I compared my 4W-3W to 7-6 observation reports, they are quite different.

That’s what I thought. It sounded like in the observation he contradicted himself a bit by saying I should have taken the stepped approach throughout the game (even though it was a very pleasant game to referee and there wasn’t much in it) and then also said I should have cautioned this specific...

I agree with this. I did terrible on a womens observation earlier this season. But I had a 7-6 observation a few weeks ago and the observer in the mens game said I was one of, if not the best referee he had seen at that level. But the womens 4W-3W I struggled with a lot and did poor on an...

Ah! I didn’t know. I thought you could go to doing middles at 3W! Apologies.

I’m trying both 7-6 and 4W-3W this year. Although, I don’t think I’ll get my 3W as I haven’t had enough observations and games in the woman's game. From my understanding, if you get, let’s say, level 5, you can go into the woman's pathway straight away as a 3W.

Not very many referees talk to the teams as a whole if that’s what you mean? The jewellery thing is split. Some refs line everyone up and check it- some take a look around in the warm up to spot if there is any jewellery and some may just ask the managers to make sure no one has any on if...

I had some good advice from a level 3 I know regarding 4th officials. It was quite simple. He said to pick your battles as a 4th official. I think that’s simple but is also quite effective.

When I run, I listen to music. But I’ve always liked running so it’s not really been an issue for me.

5B?

I live down in the south and know a fair few level 3’s and 4’s who have made the trip over to guernsey. From what I’ve been told- 5am you have to leave the house. Around 8am at the airport. You get to guernsey around 11am. For a 3pm ko. Sounds awful 😂😂

Shouldn’t that be a straight red? 😨

😂😂😂 I’ve heard what I think are plenty of swear words. They are all very passionate over here. The parents, that is. The players too but some people from the tournament organising team have described some of the teams as having ‘ultras’ !!!!
