    Be careful what you say.........

    My F.A. has stated that we have to be careful what we say on Social Media as it could lead to disciplinary action, this includes football related matters or even homophobic or racial comments.... Not that i would ever consider doing such thing.... I am now going to distance myself from this...

    What would you do?

    I agree.... I told the player to re-take the free kick, as he was an 8 yr old I really didn't think he would understand the ifs and buts of it, only one parent had a whinge but he was put in his place by the manager...... they went on to win 4-1....

    Reporting - How good a witness are you?

    I never make a decision on what i " believe" happened, i have to be 100% on my decision. I seeit, i give it, if i'm not 100% I err on the side of caution.
