I'm not sure they are, you have to take into account the distance teams maybe traveling. I think to many games go a head without thing about safety of all involved. Again a early call is better than waiting for everyone to arrive.

Restart with kicking off.

We should always keep the weather forecast in mind. If you think it’s unsafe to play a full game, it’s probably best to postpone. There’s no need to put ourselves in challenging situations—being a grassroots referee is tough enough without additional complications., surely a early decision is...

What is your current average? Have you now completed all the online learning and the 5-4 seminar evening? I wasn’t aware that the 5-4 could be done over different seasons, does it depend on your CFA?”

So are we saying 71 average over 4 observations is good? I'm currently at 71.62 after 3.

It happen to me twice this season at step 7. Carrying out the substitution on halfway line ( Referee as No NAR so CAR ). To find the player waiting to come on was not named on Team sheet. I did not allow substitution to go ahead. I'm just wondering is this some think I should report?

Some good points. I personally think we need to get some young players such as academy players. Maybe the ones that may not make the cut as players can move over refereeing.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx2nd9zewx5o What are peoples thoughts on ex player becoming referee and fast track!!!

I recently scored just over 70. Is this an acceptable mark? Also, what average marks are expected for those going 5-4 over the five assessments?

Please do, More contacts the better.

Yes relocating, but would like to continue refereeing. I expect to move out early new year so will register with my County fa for 1st half of the season.

Has anyone moving from refereeing in England to Spain I'm currently a L5 and would like to continue refereeing when I move to Spain?

I have no problems if the ball is out of play, providing it not happening every 5mins.

I'm going for 5-4 promotion next season. I will still be refereeing at step 7 fixtures and club AR and occasionally NAR. Currently, I have very cheap AR flags. Should I now invest in a better set of flags? I have a cup final coming up in a few weeks. Would you recommend investing in a pair of...

Extraordinary report. Let the country fa deal with it. Include everything that was said on the pitch side and at half time.

During today’s match, I dismissed a player in the 33rd minute due to what I perceived as foul and abusive language. After a free kick, I issued a yellow card, sending them to the sin bin for decent. As the player left the field with their back to me, I heard the player call me a “****.” as they...

Yes, I can see how it could be interpreted that way. The watch is only stopped during a prolonged stoppage; otherwise, it would become dark before the final whistle at park football if the watch is stopped every time.

Agree, the only exception to this at grassroots but would it comes under time-wasting is when a player is taking long time to Retrieve a ball that gone out of play, otherwise my watch is still running.

Thanks James, The time lost was also added at end of 90mins. Which is how I understood it. I just wish Mangers would read the laws before accusing the referee of making up as they go along.

In a recent game, I issued a player a 10-minute sin bin for dissent, which was not an issue. While the player was in the sin bin, there were numerous stoppages in play and the ball was frequently out of play. The manager accused me of making up rules by pausing my watch during these instances...
