Thanks guy for the advice. I have everything written down, once I exited the ground, in car, I started to write down everything that happened. I'm in 2 minds whether to report to League, or going down the racism route to the FA? What would you guys suggest?

When you think you heard and seen it all, well you get reminded of the stupidity of fans. Step 6 League, I'm assistant, away team fans behind me, they all try to bate me, I don't bite I class that as white noise. So some parents sends their kids(x2) on the pitch, to which I say "off the pitch...

Both the shouting(reason it was in sin bin) and the gesture of a card, when the foul was pretty innocuous, as red player lost his footing and fell, bringing down the orange player.

I hear this week in and week out. Yesterday red Vs orange, orange defender get himself cautioned within 4 minutes, for a foul tackle. After that same player is chirping in my ear at every decision, so I told him to stop that or he'll spend 10 minutes in bin. Start of second half he earned his...

Update Just got a call from home team: game postponed. I think I dodged a bullet there.

Hi guys I ve got my second this afternoon. First one was positive, dev points on position on corners, and clearer advantage shout as well as hand forward. Today I ve got my second and both teams are one of those, they like to shout, heckle and carry on. Had these team on separate matches so I...

So yesterday league cup game, green v yellow. 3 officials. Yellow only had 12 players so manager and assistant manager on pitch playing. It took the whole 3 minutes and 29 seconds for the old nugget " it's not about you ref" shouted by the assistant manager. I was on line and looked at ref, and...

Update It went well, considering that the 2 teams were "a set of asses" according to the observer, couple of positional points, but that was it. So now waiting to see the report

Thanks guys for the advice, all taken on board. I'll update later.

So finally took the plunge and applied for promotion 7-6 and I've got my first observed game today. I do assistant ref on Northern Counties and have had a few observation already all of them at 72.5 Any advice from some more experienced ref? Many thanks

Spot on interpretation, "Jim" was being confrontational, trying to avoid the inevitable red card for his player!

On the report I put down the 2 sin bin and red card no misconduct as he went from FOP. If CFA queries it I'll explain it.

My 2p worth... If I heard that, a public walks towards him and (in the best Nigel Owen accent) "talk to me like that and you'll take no further place in this game, am I clear" loudly so anyone can hear.

Even after is second sin bin?

Guys a little more context regarding Jim YC. After entering the pitch uninvited, he tried to avoid the RC for his player, subbing him, when I wasn't budging Jim tried the old chestnut of "this is first time I see a card at this level" I again explained the gravity of the foul, studs on chest and...

Bit of technical question: a player receive his first sin bin, after his return he receive a second sin bin. Question: after his second sin bin, does he have to leave FOP? or he can stay with his bench? the reason i ask is that the same player made some OFFINABUS remarks which i heard, and duly...

Context: local U11 cup final, red v blue home team the better(4-1 win) 5 minutes to go, ball in the air, red player is looking at chest it down, blue player in an attempt to win the ball, he karate kick red straight in chest similar to thr DeJong kick on Alonso in Holland vs Spain. blow my...

@Justylove I had 0 impact on the 7-0 defeat, I only whistled 6 fouls (very minor stuff, not worth of even having a word), 2 offside oh and the various kick off and start/end. Like I said before I welcome constructive feedback, or like you said pointers, but on this game I struggle to find...

I always welcome constructive feedback from a more experienced ref, this helps building confidence and knowledge. When I first started, I had help from 2 great level 5 ref, fairly local to me, that mentored me for pretty much my very first season in the middle. This incident is beyond...

Whaddya know? Google is plenty helpful. Done a picture reverse search and landed on the guy social media, confirmed it was his, got a name, checked against CFA, and he is an actual ref, a level 4 at that. So card and extraordinary report gone to CFA.
