Straight yellow for EFOP without permission, then straight red for OFFINABUS?

I won't lie, early on in my career I had a player asking me a question (probably how long left ref), around the edge of the centre circle. We were in the last stages of the game, a minute or 2 to go. Turned to answer him as ball was in play, and turned back around to find 2 players on the...

Edit - had posted same as above.

Get to 5 and decent chance of FA appointments. That's one reason to get there.

The pre match bit for me bodes well as I tell the AR's to lead if the decision comes within a 15-20 yard ' semi circle' which moves with them as they move along the line. If they don't know who's ball it is, to keep flag in the middle of legs (ish) and I'll lead. Outside of that, I'll lead but...

Am I allowed to post the scores and the X boxes? With no other information visible? Just out of interest.

Yes, I have thought that. I know of a level 4 who was offered, and has taken, SAR after their first season, based on their performances in the middle. I'm genuinely not trying to throw my season or anything as I want to prove to myself I can cut it at 4. But I've known from day dot that middles...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I will add it's my first season at 4. And I have no intention of progressing through the 'middle', I'm definitely more of an AR. I have been since I started a few seasons ago. I'm just hoping that if I'm down the bottom come the end of next season (as I can't...

After 4 middles on MOAS where I can see my club marks, it seems I'm in the 'not a particularly good referee' books with a good few of the teams, rather than a different book. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong as I don't feel matches go particularly badly, I generally have control and...

Can you use a Post Office to put your money in? I'm with NatWest and can use post office and have a standard bank account.

How did you find that out?

Reading that makes me think in your shoes, I'd be speaking to the managers before the game and saying that verbal abuse will not be tolerated, set a low bar. If you need to bring a card out after 5 minutes for it, so be it. Tell them you will consider abandonment if you managing participants...

My worst is where I sent a manger off and they lost 6-0...

Are we having an issue with a player who just 'grabs the ball' and doesn't attempt to take the throw in? Grabs it off the floor to underarm throw to a teammate. That's more what I think GraemeS is getting at.

I usually look at whichever team has completed their walk out first and ask them to start.

I'm still waiting for mine...

Sent a captain off after the final whistle whilst we were doing the handshakes all round, had been a good game, home team won by a goal after being 2 up in the first half, some of away team were a bit vocal but I didn't feel it went above my threshold for dissent, I was managing it without a sin...

Me

I add all my games but only to stay in the habit. Takes all of a minute or so to add games (unless you've been busy with the cards 😂) so I find it's easier just to do it.
