Similar to this, has anyone bought the stick on poppies to wear and are they only going to wear them next week?

In Suffolk we have 2 development groups who will mainly get the academy fixtures. The County CORE group will get some of the older age groups when they are short. We also have a separate 'Academy Referees' group who are seen as the future C-CORE group. And then other promising referees on...

My game on Tuesday went to pens with one team down to ten. Luckily the other teams gk took the 4th pen so didn't need to worry 😅

We all laugh but, lots of people saying he should "grow a pair" and carry on. Granted it is social media though so take that with a pinch of salt.

Hate this, always having to ask who to use as a "vice"

Seems like something they'll put in the November LOTG exam with that kind of wording

Feel free to shoot me down but would it be worthwhile 'archiving/deleting' any forums that are seen as surplus. I'm thinking like the old selling threads. It's clear to see where the bulk of it is but I would be hesitant to remove any of them as it is mainly in the match related ones and that...

A way that could help is the mindset from ted Lasso "Be a goldfish" but that depends what type of person you are as it won't work for everyone. The other way that I prefer is talking about it to someone who is also a referee, and will understand your situation. I've built a network of guys who...

Definitely better on the whole, think I've only had an issue once in the past week or so

*shudder* Pure stupidity from him, my mates a Liverpool fan and the first thing he said in our gc was "what the f**k does he think he's doing"

I think that's your fault it was clearly option B

When I do remember, I usually ask them to keep it down and buzz me, purely because if it is potential line of sight I can wave it down if I know he isn't, and if there are question marks it means that we can manage it before we commit to an issue. The lack of appeal is probably because the GK...

I think with the position I took up I was double guessing myself quite a bit after the game, hence why I was weary to say 100% the right decision. Very happy that the team it went against managed to get what can only be said as the perfect angle to support the decision. With all the moaning...

Not to sound like a total stickler but this is where there are issues when we give a decision that is expected in the English game like not giving HB in this situation. Really not a fan of europe and us having different interpretations of the laws and one has to give way to the other I think.

If you had heard what the rest of the game was like it would have been so much better

Had this offside decision in my game last night. Was more than happy that the player was in an offside position but questioning based off this angle if he has actually impacted the keeper. You can see where I was at the end of the clip probably should have been a little bit wider.

I know that our RDO has always been pretty much like that and I think its the ex-army in him. I don't see an issue with the badges but would probably stay away from wearing the glasses just in case you get hit in the face with the ball, but as James said sports glasses might stop this risk...

Had the weirdest reaction when saying that exact thing once from a fan this season. Got the shout of "You can't be coaching their back line Lino" but I think no harm ever comes from it and gives you a bit more rapport with the shouty centre backs.

I had to use it the last few seasons before I got promoted and must say I liked it a lot more that yesref, especially with the fact you open your dates instead of closing them. Probably because I very often picked up games due to officials forgetting to close their open dates. Wouldn't...

So I always check the IFAB app at the start of the season for law changes and then most counties do a law change presentation at the start of a season. I also get a lot of it from here as that’s where most of the experts like to give their thoughts
