Had "one of those" games yesterday. Previous to this I had a OA game sat, which went well considering the state of the pitch. no chance of a call off but was horrible. I managed situations well I thought, called captains in whn required, stepped approach etc etc and it worked IMO, and the...

Had my first cup final on sunday. U17's top v 2nd in the league. Blues 1-0 up... orange shoots, blue defender makes a great save on the line.. so down to 10 men and penalty given. Oranges miss penalty... and blues end up 3-0 up at half time! 2nd half oranges come back and make it 3-2 with...

First time I saw and dealt with the keeper releasing the ball from his possession and picking it up again... He and his manager went mad... manager claiming I was different league... which despite intent as insult I took as a compliment (tongue in cheek) ... you didn't give the back pass ( aka...

Never seen this before... have you? Pitch next to me (Old ref - Not that that makes a difference I guess)... Blue V Reds... 3 players on the Blues must not have had the correct shirt.... so the referee made them wear bibs.... Bright Orange bibs.... it looked rather strange... I would have...

Hey all, Had this the other day, and don't belive I dealt with it correctly.... anyone had this? Keeper in a cap... no issue.... last minute keeper comes up for a corner.... no issue.... but he has his cap on. He takes it off and has it in his hand... should I have stopped play? Also next...

Okay, I am going to confess... on the line today,early 2nd half... gave the defender offside... and worse still I didn't realise. .. until he took the free kick. .. ah well no one complained, and wouldn't have made a difference...and lesson learnt. Anyone else want to enter the booth?

Hi All - just a quick query I would like advice on from yesterdays game... is it a foul or no foul? Blue has the ball dribbling into a bit of space, coming up to the halfway line, plenty of red defenders about 10 yards in front of him, red running from behind/to the side closing him down. Blue...

Hi all, Over the last few matches I have really froze in the middle... I have my first line tonight and whilst I can't wait... its gonna be freezing! Does anyone (dare I say it) wear gloves, and also is it acceptable to wear a long sleeved base layer under a short sleeved kit? Gary

Hey all, apologies if this topic is already somewhere but I couldn't find it. I am refing my first school game (6th form)tomorrow... anything different with these would you say or just the exact same approach as a U17 match/any other match? Ta Gary

Hey all, Had an incident today which would be good to get your views on... White and blue player come together, white links arms with blue and fouls him... Whistle blown, foul. Then (This is how I saw it...) blue, with clenched fist swings, from behind at the midrift of white striking him on...

Hi all, Been having a read on the board for thexample last few weeks and some excellent advice and interesting topics, so glad to hopefully be joining in now. I've put level 7... but may still be classed as 9... so sorly about that. Don't 10 games now after my coursexams and sent the 6 off a...
