As part of BRC you have to attend the above as part of the course. Due to work commitments I haven't completed this part as yet , basically I just wondered what the course involved etc. Thanks for any guidance / help as always.

I was at the Hull V Liverpool match last night and wanted to mention a couple of things that occurred during the game and wanted to hear anyone's views on them. GK punches the ball clear from a corner and makes contact with his own defender and an opponent , both players go down holding their...

Just wondered what you can claim regards match fees / travel expenses if you turn up for a fixture and one of the teams fails to show without any notice given ?. Can you claim your full match fee or just expenses ? Any info be greatly appreciated as always :)

The 6 fixtures you must referee in order to be fully qualified is it 1 year in which to complete them or 1 season ?. I have refereed 5 so far and it doesn't look like I have any more appointments before the seasons end. I have emailed my RA but not received a reply. Any advice /info would be...

Attacker through on goal yesterday and goes around the GK who trips him inside the penalty area , clear penalty which I duly awarded. I notice a defender between the goal and the attacker so not an obvious goalscoring opportunity in my eyes as the defender could of intervened at some point which...

I referee my lads U10'S home fixtures which is how I got involved into refereeing. Now more recently I have pulled up both teams for foul throws and given the player the benefit of the doubt and allowed a retake but if they foul throw again I pass in on to the opposition. I am now looking at...

This might sound like a daft question so apologies if it does. A player commits a straight Red card offence and you issue the Red card at once but how do you go about getting the players name ? (i told you it was a daft question). You see it on games especially TV games all the time where a...

There was an offside call in last nights Carling Cup game between Tottenham & Sheff United where a Sheff United player cleared the ball and it rebounded forward off a Tottenham player to another Tottenham player who was stood offside and flagged offside by the Assistant Referee , my thinking was...

I am refereeing a game on the 25th Jan and I know a player who plays for one of the teams and he is currently serving a 5 match ban and he will be unavailable. Now the type of person he is and the team he plays for he will no doubt in my mind attempt to play. I have spoken with my local RAS...

I have recently refereed my 4th fixture in Hull Sunday League. My appointed Mentor was with me on my recent fixture and he gave me the low down on my overall performance. Apart from the odd little niggle such as positioning etc all is going well. One thing he did say was get into the habit of...

Can you give a free kick for Dissent ?.

Is it law to stand 10 yards away from a free kick in all directions ?. Meaning can an opposing player stand say 5 yards to the left or right of a free kick if he isn't gaining an advantage by not retreating the 10 yard rule ?. I had one come up in one of my fixtures a few weeks ago that a...

I prevented a couple of players playing today with Snoods and one outfield playing wanted to wear a Bobble Hat but I said it wasn't acceptable but after the game I realised goal keepers do wear caps from time to time , any difference and was I right to prevent the player from playing with a...

Put my stats at the bottom of everything I post ? , such as Games - Yellow Cards - Red Cards - Penalties etc. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi , pretty much new on here and I have had a look through a mixture of threads and would someone kindly translate the abbreviations I am coming across from time to time please ?. It must be referee talk / slang but I am not sure what some mean lol.

I reffed my customary under 10's fixture which my lad plays for this morning. To cut a long story short a parent accused me of talking down to his son over dissent he was showing towards me and a particular decision. I had a stern word with the player and his attitude towards me and it was done...

I reffed my first adult game on Sunday as some may of read in a previous post. I gave the pitch the once over for dangerous objects etc and removed the odd plastic bottle / aluminium can and basically anything that warranted a danger to the players but is the removal of these items solely the...

Completed my first game on Sunday in the HSFL division 6 clash. I had my mentor pitch side to give me any general advice prior to k/o & at h/t and a small briefing at f/t. For the record the game finished 3-3 with one penalty awarded and one yellow card shown. No issues with the penalty which...

Sorry if this has been asked previously. Is there a nominated pocket for each card ? . I was thinking back pocket in shorts for Red and top right for Yellow.

Hi all , I recently qualified as a referee and will be refereeing my first adult game in a week or two . I regularly ref my boys under 10's but never an adult team ( I have stood in on the odd game but never when qualified ). Basically if anyone has any advice or tips they would be greatly...
