Instead of blaming the officials for missing this, the FA should be charging Toney for cheating / bring the game into disrupt. The only way to stop players from cheating is post-match punishments.

The other great come back is "More than your coach was willing to pay me!!!"

I think that the recent two RC which have been overturned (Calvin:Lewis and another), make me think this isn't as certain a RC as it should be

Before COVID and immediately afterwards, there was a shortage of L4's, so they have pushed massively to increase the 5-4 candidates. This has worked, but now produced too many L4's, which allows the FA to pick the best for promoting. But this then leaves L4's going nowhere and becoming...

Going to be an interesting debrief if an assessor was there...... I expect the referee will be answering questions from the FA about his failure to apply law correctly

Since this was an U15's match, you should ensure that the CFA safeguarding officer is informed. As this was for 2 people named on the team sheet, I don't think a extraordinary report is needed.

Prefect decision

When I started in Lincolnshire, the CAR gave offsides (and was really helpful). Moving to York, and the instructions are ball in/out only (and that is too difficult for them 😫). If they were asked to give offsides, most would bother as they stand at the half way line and those that did would...

Remember the promotion rules for 7-6 and 6-5 have changed in the past few seasons. It is automatic when you referee 25 games, have 2 match day coaching reports, 5 games as AR and doing in-person tests.

Simple solution - Don't run. Just do what 50% of all grassroots referees do, stand in the centre circle. :wtf:

He is a player in this instance, so a RC on WGS. Additionally, the SCOR requires the club to provide a suitable person to act as AR, so let the league know.

I trust that you will be completing the disciplinary process on WGS, but you should report to the league that the match finished early due to the coach taking the players off. They may wish to bring a separate charge against him/the club for this action, because technically the match had not...

Since you clearly spoke to him - PI. Safest option and therefore if you referee them again, there is "well you cautioned me last time for such a challenge!" moans...

The only thing that may be asked of you, which you may not already included in your report, is "How far away from the incident where you?". Everything else is "as detailed in my report". The club has been charged based on your report so if you change your report the club will argue that it was...

If it was a referee which was reported for abuse, then the CFA have a different set of protocols to follow. If he was a L3, the charge may have been referred the National FA to deal with; as it brings possible suspension from officiating as well as potential fines for the club. On the...

Still brilliant @Ross I will be a 10 year veteran in march

To referee in Wales, you would international clearance. As Chas has said, you need to contact your RDO before we do any matches.

One sided start to the match, but good awareness by the AR for the Nunez barge and YC given. Could have got another for the sarcastic applauding of the decision?

I think we should be more forward thinking in dealing with manager bans for abuse. When their match kicks off, they have to go and referee a grassroots match - either a Saturday match between teams such as "Old and useless players" and "I am better then this standard" OR a Sunday match between...

When people's safety is in doubt. Either yours or other players, it is that simple. The minute doesn't matter - the actions which lead to the abandonment are all that is relevant. Regardless if you abandon in the 20th or final minute, the league rules/committee will determine the final result.
