Remember, the club will get an extra fine for the player not giving his name. But, the better one, I have seen it where they did this with a "ringer" and gave the wrong name. He then tried playing a few days later for another team and it was found out he was "suspended"... A whole world of pain...

@DeanoMT10 Yes, put though, as it will be worse for you if you don't. Was they asking you or yelling at you not to put though? If they were being aggressive is telling you not to send in, I would be tempted to let the CFA know. They may have done this to other referees - who may have not sent...

Especially as the marking is based on you being a L4, so the expectation is you are already good enough. Just giving a standard L5 performance will mean that you don't get promotion, you have to show you are better than the quality of the football you are refereeing. You have to be the best...

Just about everything.... Restart cannot be a goalkeeper fly-kicking the ball back into play. It has to be either a free-kick to the defenders for the Purple forward's first offence or a penalty for the goalkeeper challenge. Never blew for the purple challenge, so must have decided no...

But when did David Elleray apply law correct? Has anybody watched in referee in old matches- The law according to Mr Elleray, was what was applied ;)

One of the ways to deal with the "foul throw" applies is - "This is not kids' football, so play on. I will decide whether it is not legal".

This should have been a RED. The use of "cheat" and "disgrace" are trigger words. Also given this was a U12's match, the coaches are expected to set any example. He should be in the Car Park.... The other argument is that you didn't take action, so he thinks it OK. So, may do the same next week...

So, top of the referees list for that season.

I bet he had a number of those reports, just changed the name of the referee and clubs.... I think in those days observers only got a mileage allowance, so a 10 mile trip may get £2 for the report. So, you get what you pay for.

Also SCOR (Y) rules state that a under 14 must not participate as a referee or assistant in any match.

As others have said, it is simply the coaching team don't want to do it and nobody else has volunteered. As with every now in life, "I don't want to do it, so I will pay some else to do it". The club has more money than volunteers!

So, you did your normal performance then.... How was your fitness, did you keep up with play?

Remember, if you are going to referee in Wales, you will need international clearance from the FA. Wales is a separate country for football purposes.

Guardian article re ceasing offsides With the number of problems it causes, at least they are thinking about doing something. FIFA won't allow, but would you be happy to stop offsides at Step 7 and below, all Sunday football and all junior football?

I think some of the referees actually do some line work at the PGMOL training sessions, as well as the assistants, so they are not totally cold. But it will have been a few years since he did 45 mins. There was the FA cup match where the referee and 4O both went down, as a specialist AR had to...

Yes, it was confirmed on an observer update meeting last week. There are still a few eligible candidates, but no new candidates for 24/25 onwards

@Kent Ref - I trust you are reporting the team for the Nazi signal. The FA will take this is similar to a racist complaint, and I expect the injured player won't be playing for some time (and be a few pounds poorer)

Getting the average DOESN'T mean you get promoted, only nominated. To go 5-4 on the annual system, your mark will need to be well above the minimum, I think the 70/71 problem is irrelevant

Interesting one at an Open Age match I was observing, and how not been able to find the answer.... Goalkeeper picks up the ball and runs towards the edge of his penalty to release. He stumbles and drops the ball. It took one bounce and he regather it. Referee allows play to continue. It was...

They have set the minimum acceptable average at 71.0 nationally. All standards at 5-4 are being set by the FA. The administration and appointments will be done by CFAs, but reports will be reviewed by National FA.
