Chuffed to say the least. Had my first MDC a few weeks back, now on Saturday I'll have my second. I'm 6-5 this season... and at my tender ripe old age of 50 I'm seriously considering going for 4 next season. I know, some of you may think I left it a tad late, but hey better late than never

It's CFA challenge throphy

Yup, I can confirm anything from junior to open age "amateur" leagues, they all think they can do anything and everything. 12 years in and now I'm really careful with the games I take. Had to sent a U13 off, after he called me an effing female dog. Same at open age yesterday, 2 players both on...

Well I've emailed the step5 league to be taken off the game, and although the AR officer was disappointed, he's taken me off the game. He confirmed league take precedent, but I need the middles as I'm on promotion.

It's not a senior cup, it's open age male. Emailed the ref sec for the step 5 league, asking to be removed from the game, see how it goes.

question: 2 different appointments, same day... 1st for step 5 league(I will be ar) 2nd for a County cup(middle) Which one takes priority?

Girls or ladies All jewellery are coming off, no ifs no buts. The only allowance I will make is for headwear, for Muslims or Sikhs as usually these garment are made of soft material. Legally, under S59 Children's Act we have a duty of care, so jewellery are definitely off, regardless of...

@southernerinthenorthstill DIscrimination, doesn't trump up Children welfare

@OldNavyRef and @cooperd5 The goggles lenses aren't plastic, but shatter proof polycarbonate material.

@Runner Ref They had 10 one of which wearing glasses. @es1 Should anything happens to that player, or anyone she collides with, while wearing glasses, you would be on your own up the creek without a paddle! I'd love to hear your reasoning infront of a discipline panel.

Having had gazillion junior games and tried gazillion ways to say it... These days I say to manager earring off or she can't play. Simple and straight to the point. I get the last week ref defense, I counter with it's this week law!

So as the title, today I had the most bizarre game forfeiture ever. 13.48 I get team sheet from away team, and I ask the whole team to take jewellery, watch glasses etc off. Then I stroll over to home team and repeat the same. 13.59 blow the whistle and call captains. Home captain was there in a...

Yes I am. RDO sent me 2 links, 1st pre game sheet and 2nd post game sheet. I compiled those religiously as soon as I have been appointed. Also what type of matches counts towards promotion? Saturday open age mens I know, do Sunday open age women count? I know any juniors don't.

@JamesL My CFA is west, but half miles down road from me the relevant CFA is north, no overlapping. What I wanted to know (from my none existing RDO) what happens to my promotion? Paid the fee, done the modules, done paperwork pre and post game, but only 1 assessed/coaching game. Does this goes...

Not from last season, First time I tried was season after covid lockdowns Not so much for the less pressure, its because in the other CFA things are running smoother. And from feedback received from colleagues at same level, opportunities are equally shared, whereas my current CFA RDO, doesnt...

For the second time, I've gone through the rigmarole of applying, paying the fee, follow procedures. I had 1 observed/coaching game, went better than expected. And that's it. No second. Email RDO several times, no reply! Why do I bother. As I'm living close to 2 different CFA, can I migrate to...

Further update: In a nutshell, CFA investigated, and as they couldn't identify who's spectators was the culprit, they took no action. With an invitation to have more stewards, and copy of code of conduct! All in all a whitewash. Disappointed, disheartened and disillusioned

Little update: Just had a lengthy conversation and even lengthier email with the ref, and he's going to report the incident on WGS, and he'll contact the league secretary to let him know.

Even if I was AR2? On WGS.

Yup spoke to ref, he said he didn't hear it, but whatever I decide to do, he support my decision and asked me to be copied in, by an email.
