    Fake hints and tips for new Referees.

    Ooh conflicting advice - Do you work for IFAB? 😆

    Fake hints and tips for new Referees.

    If an attacking player falls over in the penalty area, and you have already given their opponents a penalty in the match, you must award one here too. Because you gave exactly the same thing done the other end. Even if they’re totally different!

    Fake hints and tips for new Referees.

    If a player is sent off for violent conduct and opponent must also be sent off; because “what about him?”

    Fake hints and tips for new Referees.

    This is arguably a factual statement so has no place here. This is indeed a factual statement!

    Luton v Wimbledon

    Spoiler: Yes it really is that bad a game that these are the talking points. Going to be a long season at this rate.

    France v England (womens)

    The England player went down immediately holding her head. On first look, I thought that was why it had been stopped, a thought solidified when the referee immediately waved on medics. Only on replays that it looked like a foul. And as had been said before, once the check for a red card is...

    Wimbledon-Walsall

    I’d like to see him get a consistent run of Championship games next season. Especially with the circus that follows Wrexham; it’ll turn the pressure up an extra notch and become a real proving ground.

    Utd v villa

    I think we’re done. We’ve veered so far off on multiple tangents it’s time to put this out of its misery.

    Utd v villa

    This whole experienced versus inexperienced debate is another pointless distraction. How do you get experience without an opportunity? Sink or swim time. If you can’t handle it, and I mean seriously mess it up, you won’t get another go for a long time. And so it should be; look elsewhere...

    Wimbledon-Walsall

    I stand corrected. Seemed to recall that early March was when they really went into free fall.

    Wimbledon-Walsall

    Not a great advert for the game this one. Very negative game throughout with Wimbledon players flopping about like fish on a dockside after every little bump. Credit to Will Finnie in the middle, he’s not falling for it and trying to allow the game to flow. Maybe should’ve given Walsall a...

    Utd v villa

    I think I can summarise three pages of discussion thus: Makes a decision - “blew too early” Played on/waited - “he’s relying on VAR to bail him out” Can’t win either way

    Season review 24/25

    2 reds and 15 cautions, with 6 of those coming in the last game of the season (potential title decider). Long held ambition achieved (there’s a thread on this!) to boot. Moved over completely from mentoring to match day coaching and that’s the best decision I’ve made all season. MDC is giving...

    MCI vs BOU

    Cook’s not the most egregious SFP I’ve ever seen but still the right call. A good example of one-footed endangering an opponents safety.

    Thinking of quitting.

    Bin the youth football perhaps? And move over to the Combined Counties as an AR (if you’re not on there already) and rebuild your confidence that way?

    2024-25 UEFA Competitions Finals Match Official Appointments

    Good to see Felix Zwayer getting his chance again though I’m sure the press will bang on about the match fixing scandal. Never sat well with me, punishing the erm, whistleblower, who told then authorities what was going on. Tainted forever for that, despite doing the right thing.

    Junior/Youth Possible mistaken identity for Red Card and what to do if in doubt

    Let’s start with a “what if?” Thinking time is helpful. But if after thinking time you still went with punishing 4 and 6 claims to be the offending player, are you going to be in any different position than now? Could you have players then claiming you still weren’t sure and picked the wrong...

    Elbows or forearms?

    Mings doesn’t throw the elbow or arm. It comes up for certain but with the player coming from his blindside is a contributing factor to the incident. He doesn’t look behind him, and the arm goes up in part to make himself bigger. If he takes a swing or throws is backward then it’s different...

    Referee attire

    By all means pick up a county badge if you want too. Some competitions, particularly FA Cup, Vase, Youth Cup, Women’s Cup require the County Badge to be worn. And county finals prefer it too. But not a specific kit in England anyway.

    Leyton Orient vs Stockport

    Incident is here from 1:16. https://www.skysports.com/football/video/33727/13365093/leyton-orient-2-2-stockport-league-one-play-off-highlights As for the criticism, yeah ok whatever. On first view it’s Inconclusive for me - attacker definitely jumps for the header but it isn’t clear if he...
