    Tottenham v Newcastle

    While I did watch the match very shortly I found it interesting that these dives were called. I am very happy they're being called, don't get me wrong. But I have a feeling that this amount of enforcement in one match is relatively new? Considering that we've seen plenty of these moments in...

    Open Age Genuinely not sure what I'm doing wrong (or is it just me??)

    To be fair, this just sounds like a run of bad scenarios in games, rather than doing anything on your part to add gas to the fire. I have no clue what else you could have done in this situation. I've had quite a few bad games where they turned violent, only on the regional level never on the...

    Sheff Utd v Middlesbrough

    I still find this absurd. In our country AFAIK when it comes to national league matches the home team must contact the away team a week in advance to coordinate colours (don't know how it is in England). Albeit I have no clue how much they respect this law and from personal experiences the only...

    The new Nike Kit 26-30

    I cannot wait to stand out in the rain in sub-zero temperatures and be stuck at the halfway line staring emptily at the referee who is doing rounds while I am stuck there not allowed to even move ... but oh well. I am pretty sure they're different than the ones in the 22 - 26 kit ... unless we...

    Good Tips

    I am a tad bit unfamiliar with the English tier system. I have sadly no clue when you all get proper assistants :wide: (That's also bizzare to me and one day someone will have to explain to me this whole shebang). Then what @ChasObserverRefDeveloper said! Also I forgot to say, welcome to...

    Good Tips

    Hyello, here are a few practical tips I’ve picked up over nearly two years, from amateur refs to UEFA officials. I’m an assistant referee, so that’s where my experience is strongest, but more experienced refs will definitely have more to add. Still, here goes. Referee: Building rapport -> At...

    Why is this a foul - Arsenal vs Man united - Maguire vs Jesus

    Honestly, it might be me being subjective or the angle. It looks like Jesus kicked out with his leg first into Maguires and knocked him off balance (we don't have the refs angle). Could also have interpreted his fall and pulling on Maguire as impeding the movement of the defender to play wthe...

    IberCup Cascais 2026

    Hey! I'll also be attending this year, from what my fellow referees told me that also attended is that it's grueling and generally energy consuming but it's an opportunity that you apparently literally shouldn't miss and should soak up as much knowledge as possible. When I applied through my...

    Free Kicks (Required Distance Infractions)

    I think that the crucial difference between interference and interception is the fact that interference happens in the 9.14m radius, while interception is at 9.15 or beyond - as in to say, the moment the ball crosses the invisible line it then counts as interception rather than interference. I...

    Hello everyone!

    Hi, everybody! Long time lurker / stalker of Refchat (a year or so - almost equivalent to my time refereeing). To keep it short, I am an assistant referee in Slovenia. I referee both regional and so far national level, on both levels up to U21. On the regional up to 1st league and in the...
