    pre-season delusion

    I find I'm more lenient for cautions depending on the temperature of the game, the only cards I've given out were for two players who could not keep their hands to themselves on Saturday. I think its easier for me due to the sides that I get in preseason, mainly step 5/6 and maybe a development...

    Throwing

    I imagine the guidance will be the same as goalkeepers holding the ball where it needs to be 3 clear repeats before the yellow comes out. Not sure if this would be 3 clear team or player repeats tho

    Paris World Games

    Did it last summer and I loved it personally. Group of us went with the county and it was such a great experience. Late nights for the fixtures but overall the tournament was quite well organised. The lack of communication may be because theres a lot of tournaments going on over the next few...

    5-4 promotion

    Considering I'm doing the test on saturday and been warming up for it, can't believe I've had that bad of a brain fart 😂

    5-4 promotion

    I had no idea the 25m sections were that quick, really puts into perspective why some people may struggle.

    Website problems

    Only issue I've had was fearing it had been blocked on my company laptop... turns out I had a power outage

    New Nike kit

    Even though not football related, I ran to the gym and did a workout with the new shorts and were really comfortable for that so no worries about being tight or restrictive

    New Nike kit

    I wore mine for the first time at a corporate game recently. Much better fit on the arms but I would recommend going a size up for the slightly larger folks as a medium was quite tight on me even after cutting down recently. Shorts are baggy around the leg but i would say more comfortable overall

    Boots

    I use them but especially when on the line and I notice a difference on how easily I can turn, not so much when in the middle. I wear the Nike sleeves from Refstop (Use discount code in banner) and I love it.

    Boots

    I'm a bit ocd and will always match my boots to the kit manufacturer. Nike Premiers for me again even if they only last about 18 months

    Fitness test locations

    Due to holidays I'm going to St Ives on the 20th for the fitness test on my own (loner). Is anyone on here also doing the 10am start test?

    Promotion dates L4 and above

    Without sounding stupid (first full season as a 4) what does the 4B mean in the second email?

    3W Fitness Test Preparation

    Biggest mental battle will ironically be laps 6/7. Laps 1-5 will go so quickly and the next two feel longer than the entire test. Once you get up that hill its smooth on the way down

    Your Card Stats

    My matches were heavily lowered by the bad weather and my availability between Dec-Feb just not aligning, otherwise would definitely have been 20+ middles. I try and MDC at least twice a month to give back to those officials just starting out. I also only do county cups outside of my normal L4...

    Your Card Stats

    What happens if you go to university whilst on core

    If it is a county core group then you may be accepted but they will not be able to nominate you for a different county core group based on where your uni is. James was referring to the National group which covers the whole country and is much easier to shift people around.

    Grassroots Corner Trick - 'Ball In Play' Shout To Referee - Y/N

    To be honest, if I was in the middle unless the flag goes up for something wrong I'm not paying any attention to the taking of the corner. This will obviously depend on the referee but in this situation it seems like you did the right thing to assist the ref and work as a team.
