The list of match officials is on the FIFA website. Appointments to each game are usually made two or three days before the game.

Did you mean defenders blocking attackers is fair? If that happens, a penalty can be awarded, of course, if it continues with the ball in play. I think that's Collina's point.

The updated advice would recognise the need to check any injured player's needs, then go left and neutral.

Better to use an internal line rather than a boundary line, IMHO

Has anyone told Rachel from Accounts? 🤣

The average time for Level 3-6 Observer Reports to reach MOAS was just over two days in the season just finishing, pretty good as many are in full time employment. Interesting to compare the fees received during the season with the cost at 45p per mile (HMRC limit) - as I operate within a...

I heard that referees are paid a lot🎣 and won a bet with myself as to who would comment first🤣

At worst, you pay £30 for the season, which includes support, CPD, assistance with promotion aspirations, County Cup appointments . . . when even the 15 games you were able to referee will have yielded around £1200 (?)

The Kent FA website includes a helpful guide to selection and retention on local and national core, which may be useful for you.

Most on here wouldn't know - teetotallers🥛☕😁

Yup - less than 20 pence a week . . .

"stretching it a tad . . ." 🤔😁

Would it be an error in law? - the LOTG state: The fourth official indicates the minimum additional time decided by the referee at the end of the final minute of each half. The additional time may be increased by the referee but not reduced.

Whilst clubs in most leagues are allowed to use a non-registered referee if there is not a registered referee available, they are not allowed to appoint non-registered officials in advance. As DavidObs has mentioned, there is no insurance cover for any non-registered referees. The inability to...
