Watching this game on BBC3, and it's nice to hear the commentators frequently praise the referee. They have passed many compliments on his performance and what he is doing, and it's a nice surprise. They even said he will be hoping for Portugal to go out so he can get the final! A bit early for...

Hi everyone. I've got a brand new Nike Training top, this seasons. The only reason I am selling it is because it's a size large and it's too big for me! It has never been worn, but it's tags have been taken off. It has no badge on it - it is the training top only. Yours for £10 incl. P&P, which...

Well, what a story to tell! Went to watch Altrincham FC v North Ferriby today - Conference North, 1st v 3rd. I saw Anthony Taylor before the game (he supports Althrincham), and I've met and spoke to him before at a talk he did a few weeks back so I went and sat next to him. We were chatting...

Today I had a very good appointment - City v Birmingham ladies, for which I was on the line. First half I was involved a lot, all in my half, and I did really really well, all my flags were correct, and there were no complaints whatsoever. Then, in the second half, my head was still in the...

Hi guys Just wondering, how do you caution? I can't make a decision on how to do it! Do you write on the card, write in the notebook, write in the notebook, put it away and then pull out a yellow from your pocket? Thanks

Is there any way that Refsworld banner can be moved Ross? It blocks anything else in its place! EDIT: this doesn't apply anymore, I don't know why it was there but it's gone now!! EDIT2: it's back now, but it doesn't block anything now. Is it just me or do I feel like I'm doing a running...

Your thoughts on the vidic red card? I personally felt that it was harsh, and a yellow would have been sufficient for the tackle.

Blatter has today confirmed that the invisible spray thingy will be used in the 2014 World Cup, used to mark where free kicks to be taken from, wall etc. Thoughts?

2 incidents on the front page of 2 papers yesterday - one town paper one regional, both different stories regarding referees being abused. 1- regional paper. A 16 year old ref was grabbed by the throat and spat at twice as he went back to changing rooms. This was because he did not give a free...

Anyone see the linesman get hit after Spurs' first goal? Somebody through a flare onto the pitch and hit the linesman on the back/neck. Truly horrific and disgusting how a football fan can attack an official in that way. I hope the person who threw it faces consequences for it.

Anyone see Chelsea's first goal? Goalkeepers bounces ball on ground after collecting it, Eto sticks leg out, takes it off him, passes back to Hazard who eventually passes back to Eto, then back to Hazard who scores. Should've been an IDFK, bit of a howler? He did turn his back though, and...

I have just received an e-mail telling me I am appointed to an U12 cup final as an assistant referee. I am really happy with this, because its my 1st season, and I have only been with this league for a few months! What has anyone else got?

I was refereeing a match a few weeks ago, and one of the CARs was speaking to me. He used to be a conference level referee, and was talking to me about that. During the match, he was talking to my dad who was with me. Later on, my dad was telling me what the CAR was saying to him. The ref said...

Now, I am not sure on this one! Is high foot and IDFK or DFK? I was under the impression that it was IDFK, because I thought it came under "plays in a dangerous manner". But, today at a match I was at, a FK was given because of a high foot, and he didn't put his hand up for the FK, to show...

Does anyone have/know where to get a FA hat? Like the umbro one worn by the premier league officials, and the one on A&H, but with the Fa on the front? I remember on my basic course that one of the mentors had a black hat the said The Fa Referee, with the FA badge as well, but does anyone know...

On the call back evening when I passed my course, they showed some odds. This was quite a few months ago, but I thought of the odds again the other day, and thought that it was interesting, and that I would share them. I can't exactly remember what it was, whether it was they made it...

Now this isn't actually a fixture, but it could end up being one! I have been in contact with a local League 1 Academy, and I am due to go to one of the matches, and if I would then like to join the panel of referees, then I might be able to get a few matches at the end of the season. Does...

I know that another thread has already been created about this, but it doesn't actually clarify what I need to know. Is there anything wrong with wearing both a county badge and the FA badge? Sorry for starting a new thread, but thought it would be better than bringing back an old one. Thanks

So this weekend seems to be filled with controversy for officials! What do we think? These are some of the incidents: Mirallas goal v city - onside but given offside Milner - could have been given a 2nd yellow? (City) Bosingwa - surely a pass back? (QPR) Bunn - was it a red? DOGSO + handball...

I was just wondering, do you prefer to know all about the teams you are refereeing, or not? I can't help myself but look at the league table, previous results, etc, but I prefer it when I don't, and just go to the match, and get on with my game. That way, I don't feel like I have any pressure on...
