    Ex Pros becoming referees

    I think it can both ways, as a former player (step 6/7 standard) I find that I have an advantage over some close friends who also referee in terms of reading the game and my man management. However, having also worked in sales for many years I’m inherently good at talking to people and getting...

    Match Distance

    Must be reading the game better in the latter stages… 👀

    Match Distance

    After 19 middles this season so far at mostly step 5/6 this is my average. 11km seems a tad high, as you’ve already alluded to it may be a case of working smarter and anticipating play a little more rather than reacting to it and then putting more miles in the legs that’s you need to.

    WC Final - Argentina vs France

    BBC commentary banging about how Marciniak is an ex pro in Poland. According to Wikipedia he started reffing at 21 after halting his amateur playing days. 🤦🏻

    WC Final - Argentina vs France

    Penalty awarded and ref signals it’s for a pull. Struggling to see how that’s not DOGSO.

    Disappointing marks 5-4

    As far as 5-4 criteria goes, it’s simply not worth worrying about or arguing about if it’s above 70. Next season at L4 it could have a much bigger impact but pick your battles. No need to kick up a fuss about it this season as you only need to average 70!

    Urinating in a GK’s drinks bottle!

    https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sport/23136884.warrington-town-0-guiseley-1-fa-trophy-match-report/ I’ve seen it all now! Utterly repulsive behaviour from a ‘fan’.

    Pre and Post Match Prep/Recovery

    You’ve got no idea how repulsive this sounds to a Cornishman. A proper pasty is a meal in itself!

    Pre and Post Match Prep/Recovery

    For the last 18 years I have religiously had a Saturday lunchtime pasty. Never failed me. Proper Cornish nutrition 😂

    Red Card Procedure

    With teamsheets and confidence that the numbers correlate correctly then a quick card can sometimes be warranted to prevent further misconduct. I’m a lot of cases it’s absolutely fine to slow it down and follow the process. Isolate, name, explain (if not obvious), card. Without teamsheets I...

    You’re sending off for saying “fatty”?

    Cramp!

    The sugar in lucozade-like drinks actually causes the salts to be absorbed slower. Try to go for electrolyte drinks/supplements rather than isotonic drinks like Lucozade

    Cramp!

    I struggled with cramp for a few games pre season and like @JamesL says it was down to a lack of salt. Lucozades are great but not for replenishing salt stocks. I use the SIS Electrolyte tablets in a small bottle of water at half time. This worked a treat!
