So local cup fixture today, red vs blue, a cracking end to end football with not a single long pass.the only time ball left floor was for throw ins. While match going on I realise there is a rugby match going on next field, cup game as well. I get approached from rugby home team boff, saying...

It was only couple of weeks ago i had my first game abandoned, and last saturday had my 2nd. I had both team before and i was expecting a good football game, strongly but fairly contested. And the away team manager and assistant, started to give me grief from 3rd minute in. And their antics...

In my match yesterday, I've sent off a goalkeeper that was continually swearing for anything. After one of my decision, he just went... F**k off, not at me but loud enough for everyone to hear. Called him to me and in a loud voice I told him... I've walked players for much less, now get back in...

I have the team sheet but is so poorly hand written, I can't make out any of it. And on WGS they have only 3 players named.

Unfortunately neither as this took me totally by surprise.

As title yet another first, So blue vs red, red leading 2-1 at HT, blue equalise, and red keeper goes on walk of shame for using the 2 big C words, one of them is cheating. Blue go up 4-2 and with 2 minutes left until FT red captain decided to kick ball full pelt towards me... Luckily enough I...

thanks guys, as i thought... my local league is crying out for referees... every saturday, there is a minimum of 4-5 games without refs. and the league is taking the no nonsense approach... if any teams create trouble for refs, they go in the naughty list, so when ref sec does appointments, the...

Green vs yellows. First half and green 3-0 up, then on corner, yellow#8 heads in back of net, unfortunately I saw yellow both hand against green trying to jump. Whistle, signal with arm crossing. Second half green 4-0 up, again corner, big yellow#4 jumps for the header, he lands on 2 green...

Had a similar game last week, and considered quitting, my ref sec was supportive, and decided to stick at it. Bear in mind that I am 41, so I can only imagine what would have been like for you at 16. My best advice, join your local RA and talk to some more experienced referee.

I think not. Game this afternoon good end to end football, halfway through first half tackles flying in. Called both captains explained I didn't like it, yellow captain thanks me and shouts to his team, enough now. Red captain started to say well they started it. Obviously in my radar from then...

The league and the police have now my witness statement and today I copied my CFA in it as well. The game did not start as after my 30 seconds warning gone he was still pitch side and still hurling abuse. Informed both captains that the game was abandoned for that reason. This season I will...

Hi lads after my injury in may doc cleared me to return officiating, and picked up a few friendly and a couple 6 a side leagues midweek. All was well until being racially abused after the game finished. I called the league organizer and explained what happened and left matter with him. As well...

Sunday league cup, albeit on line. After the match from hell yesterday, today's match was all about football, 2 teams equally matched, result was open till last minute. Sun was shining, pitch was in good conditions. Oh and an added bonus, a nice memento for the officials and drinks in bar paid...

Match control of last 30 second of a scrappy game were football has been optional?

Does anyone give a stuff anymore about the respect code? Apparently not... Did the same as that bundesliga ref where it stopped the game and took everyone inside for a dressing down.... Home team 2-0 at halftime, loads of unnecessary time wastage, 4 minutes added for that. Speak to captain, and...

Update: the player in question has received 2 match ban, so at a guess the club has also been fined for the misconduct and abandonment. Not heard a pip from CFA, so all is well...

Well at least I can say that my CFA is consistent... Both players got 2 match ban. Some learn and adapt, others must have deep pocket( words from my ref sec).

Shouted at from halfway line, while I was near PA loud enough for people in clubhouse to hear... I think the was well deserved

That maybe, but in this case, this current season should have been 9v9, but the bigger club whinged at the league that they have too many kids, so they left it at 7v7, as a result of that few team have folded, because not enough players.

I am 190% sure it was an U11 game 7v7, and 2x15 minutes halfs. It should have been 9v9 but many clubs whinged at the league AGM that they have too many kids...so this season is a transition for the bigger clubs. His coach was... Let's just say soft in front of this kid dad, but after game...
