I am amazed that she didn't get the dog to urinate on you, as you were mean to her.....

Video Is the referee correct?

FA rules for 7-6 promotion It is just 25 11-a-side Open Age matches, so not gender specific. That FA document could be out of date, as CFA are says 25 matches It is, I think, only if you want to follow the Women's pathway that your matches have to be Women's Reginal and County matches.

As observers, we can normally spot when somebody is refereeing for us. They don't look natural in what they do and are always going to talk what they did during the match to impress us.

I would if you are still in your 5 game probation period. It sets an expectation for them, and as others have said, it may give them ammunition; I think it can help you. Once they realise you are just starting out, the more sane players will help you control the worst players. It will also...

Really.....nobody listens to me :(

From an observer's point of view and the "safe refereeing" view point, I would not advise you to stop play to issue a caution. Wait until the next stoppage and deal with. Easier game management, as the players will understand more. If you were to stop play, As an observer I would be expecting...

I think you are a little too far away from the goal, being 2 yards within the penalty area. While 2 yards off the line is reasonable, I would expect you to be mid-way between the goal are and penalty area lines (say 10 yards from the nearest post) for better viewing. The encroachment, when on...

Your not thinking right here.... Delay of the start of the match = fine for league Failure to have a captain's armband = fine for the league. Come on, think about why you are there = to make money for the league and FA 🤣

Don't caution anyone and don't allow goals to be scored. You don't need to write anything down if it is 0-0 ;):confused:

The FA are becoming more involved in the 5-4 process. Just found out there is a training course being run by the National FA (rather than the CFA's) for all 5-4 observers. The only change will be the more experienced observers used, thus maintaining standards (they think).

Middlesbrough use the North Riding RDO to organise its referees for matches. They tend to appoint to the CORE team. Best starting point is your CFA's RDO.

I would add Daniel Siebert of Germany into the mix given Germany are out and if Netherlands lose to Türkiye then Danny Makkelie is also available.

A lot less.likely now.

He was one of the favourites for the final or semi's, but not sure now. Taylor and Oliver will be coming home with the England win.

This has been a dream of some in the FA and CFA's for numerous years to improve the standard of refereeing,Ike doing a LOTG exam each year. Sounds brilliant, but.... It would necessitate the abolition of grassroots football on Saturday and Sundays, as they would have no referees. The dream...

Why, don't you want a challenging game!!!

unfortunately, the way the game is going any hand contact will be a free-kick; same as in hockey where any foot contact is a free-hit. I don't agree, but this is what TV and VAR are bring to the game.

There are no Step 5/6 clubs within 20 miles of York. We are in a NLS backspot. Other York City, the next highest club in the NLS is our step 7 league, which doesn't have NAR. The York Ref Sec is seeing some of his promotion candidates leaving and having less coverage on matches.
