Can I just check I have got this correct for submitting a S7 on portal. Player B - DRP then SPA (FT) to get his second and a red. On Ref Portal do you enter it all under the dismissal section and add both offences in here rather than doing the first in the cautions section and the second in...

Has anyone ever bought any of these and would you recommend? I know there was an issue previously with the old version, but but this is an updated product. https://www.refscorer.com/product/refsflags-pro/

Just after some tips from the assembled masses on what you look for in a legal (or illegal) challenge in the air. To set the scene, imagine a goal kick and the ball dropping from high onto the halfway line. The defender is well set and jumps to head. The ball is contested by the opposition as...

Reflecting last night on my positioning for my most recent game. U18, really good competitive fixture, but often really compact. A lot going on with lots of the players in a 15-20m radius of the ball. This meant I found it really hard to keep a good view of the challenges. I tried to keep...

Had one of those days when it was just one of those. A game with more whine than Majestic. I've done both teams a few times and both have a reputation for it. Managed to give one really easy sin bin, but the question is how best to manage the multiple low level dissent from a broad range on...

After any ideas from folks with a Samsung Watch5 Pro. Refsix all good(ish) but I have an issue that the screen keeps going off or to sleep or back to the home screen even through I have it set to screen always on. It seems to log the match, but I have to keep navigating back to R6 to see the...

Hi folks I'm doing my first Vets fixture tomorrow. From those that that have done these before, what are player expectations in these? It's a County Cup so I can afford to be quite tight to LOTG, but any views on what teams expect would be good to hear.

I often use the Full-Time site to keep an eye on upcoming league fixtures and ref appointments, but recently there has been a persistent error and I would be interested to see if it is just me. When I have a league selected I often use the 'Next 7 days' or 'Next 30 days' feature in the date...

After some views on people's threshold for holding etc. Typical scenario would be a player taking a pass with their back to a defender, the player holding off the defender. The defender trying to gain possession with arms going around player, over shoulders etc. You can picture scene quite...

https://www.theifab.com/news/the-ifab-and-fifa-issuing-guidelines-to-enhance-on-field-collaboration-between-ca It looks like this is now a global trial following the Euros. Does anyone know if the FA are looking at adopting the trail?

For info Dear European Referees, I am pleased to inform you that we have completed the research for the UEFA Academy, for which you participated in the survey: "Analysis of the Key Factors Influencing the Beginning and Continuation of Football Referees’ Careers in Europe: Improving...

Game at the weekend where a player went sliding in to tackle and totally missed the ball and player. The player had to leap to get out of the way of the player which allowed the opposition to gain possession. Other than having to leap over the tackle, the player was otherwise unimpeded. I gave...

I can't work out from this if it should be 2 cautions or 1 at the discretion of the referee.

Pretty sure there are some developments points here! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGej8NMpt/

https://referee-equipment.com/products/the-goat-card-set Christmas coming up, and my current set have had quite a bit of use. Are these any good and worth the few extra quid or should I just spend a few quid off Amazon? I tend to use them for write on btw with the stickers.

I know you can't, but I had one of those games yesterday (with one of those teams - you know the type), where I just seemed to miss things. Or at least I was informed I missed things. A couple of examples... Free kick from about 40 yards left side into the box. I position myself and move to...

Probably makes sense. It's very unlikely to make it worse, but you would be taking out some current active fop referees unless you have them rotating with the VAR or it becomes a bespoke VAR role...
