If you consider yourself quite fit, and can sprint with a bit of pace, then you should be fine. If you want to practice ahead of the test so you get a feel for the timings, I would advise downloading the audio (google 17/22 fitness test audio) and playing it in your earphones whilst you run...

Looking for the cheapest place to buy the new Nike kit ahead of next season. So far www.afarefereeshop.com/shop seems to be the cheapest with the whole thing for £73. Anyone found cheaper for the full set?

Hi, I believe I have these in Large and would be willing to part with

Yes, you'd be reclassified to 4W and have to go on the pathway again. This season was the final season where the fitness test wasn't required before going on the pathway, whereas next season you have to do the fitness test first (like 5-4) so you can no longer do 4W-3W without passing the...

Decent end of season sale at www.afarefereeshop.com if anyone is interested and doesn't want to pay the crazy prices at refstop and a&h

I hear you. Only thing I would say is that the time between the foul, the shot and it going wide was genuinely about one second (two at most!) so hard to make a call in such a big moment about whether the chance is better than the penalty with such little time between incidents. For what its...

Had an interesting scenario in my game this weekend and I'm hoping someone can help find a clip of a previous time this has happened. Striker is one on one with the keeper in the box, takes the ball round him and gets fouled by the keeper. The loose ball instantly drops to another striker who...

Yes 😂

Exactly, other than the shade being slighter lighter than the shirt (can't say I actually noticed this until someone pointed it out) they were pretty much perfect as far as I was concerned

Couldn't agree more re. the shorts. Awful fit, awful material, awful drawstrings, just an all round downgrade from the current ones. All feels very lazy from Nike. I personally liked the current ones a lot so feel like they've tried to fix something that isn't broken...

Noticed AFA Referee Shop have started their black friday sale again if anyone is looking for kit. Some decent deals in there, got myself another long sleeve and some match pads. https://www.afarefereeshop.com/ Shame the coat is out of stock in XL as I'd have got that as well, haven't seen it...

Haha I see the logic! Poorly worded though

It was DOGSO because there was no possibility to play the ball. But as you can see in the picture, S4 is just for handball, and S5 is just for free kick

Had my first DOGSO Red Card in the box last night (no possibility of playing the ball). What code does this go through as? S4 is for DOGSO handball, and S5 is for free kick DOGSO? Is it just S1 SFP?

Just got my first appointment for the U18 Professional Development League, any idea what the ref and ARs fees are? Assume you get mileage as well?

Good to see a county fa put on a course with a more reasonable price. I've seen some recently charging £150+ It's great that the female only and bamh courses some are offering are discounted to get more people into reffing but theres no reason the courses open to everyone need to cost top dollar!

Have your County FA still got you down as a 4W / 3W on their end? I'd check that with your RDO

Potentially, but last I heard the FA's contract with Nike runs until 2032

As I expected, refstop have confirmed the DNA is slightly smaller in fit

I think just the design on the shirt and maybe the DNA one has a higher quality material/slimmer fit as its for top level refs. Similar to the differences you get in football shirts that the top clubs sell nowadays
