I think the attitude towards you will be the biggest change. Depending on what division it is, they might not even be better ability wise. Just deal with the low level dissent where you can. I found that speaking to them like adults and not children, would make them be a bit better behaved, as...

Strangely enough, my mind has decided to forget pretty much everything that was said pre match. That might be down to the previous 4 weeks worth of games all getting called off though.

Had my first game as a L4 last night and realised I didn't really know what to say to the managers when doing the team sheet exchange, purely because I'm used to just having them appear in the changing room. Found myself a bit lost for what to say. What would you recommend saying to appear like...

I have been fortunate in the last couple of years to work with Isabel Chaplin and Nicoleta Bria, who were just made FIFA ARs, and the amount of abuse they received from the crowd was disgusting. It amazed me because they were probably the best officials I had worked with up to that point in the...

Also something I completely missed, don't know how this went under the radar 😅

Welcome to never being able to watch a football match the same again!! At some point the nerves will just disappear and you will be able to go out there confident most weeks. One piece of advice is that no matter how good or bad you think you did in a game do not let it get to you. Still very...

I can't find the clip now, but on X this morning I saw another angle which shows she received a caution for the pen (which I thought was harsh tbh). and then you can see her visibly shout at Heaslip before being given her marching orders.

Unless I've missed something, it doesn't look to me like she has raised the yellow a second time, instead opting straight for the red. Definitely would be interesting to see what the WSL report it as.

I've got to agree definitely a pen for me, shame the defender has gone and got herself sent off for whatever she has said. Glad to see Heaslip not take any sh*t from the player.

Only problem with this is some leagues specify the requirement to have them in the technical area.

Question with regarding sending off the physio, what should you do as the referee if the Physio walks off after issuing the red card? Would both teams have to agree to use the same physio or would you abandon the game as there isn't a qualified physio in the dugout?

I have the phone number for who to contact, his name is Simon, you will be added to an EJA group chat, which is definitely a fun read from time to time.

I have already seen this one exploding on X. People at the game are claiming the 4th looked at a monitor and told the ref to rule it out. Obviously I haven't been able to find any video of this happening, but would be interesting if he did look at a screen 🤔

Hope you are ok now, it has already been said but it can be traumatic, and probably worse the next few days after the game. Keep your head up and I hope you receive the right support from the county.

My thoughts are, that we see this all the time when the goalkeeper is being chased down, only unfortunate part is that he has recklessly made contact with the goalkeeper. I do find it hard to say he's committed an act of Excessive force as a lot of it is momentum based, doesn't help that Walton...
