Great news! I’ve also had an email (yesterday) being appointed to the Women’s FA Cup. First year within adults football aswell! Safe to say I’m buzzing

Very niche question here and may well be better for my RDO but… no where in the 7 -> 6 promotion guide does it give a specific gender for the adults games, theoretically I could do 2 games in one Sunday (not that my legs would hold up from a men’s Sunday league then a women’s game 😂) therefore...

Always good to reflect on different things, I’ve had many a game that I’ve thought I could’ve done this differently or should have done that, following games then you’ll notice yourself doing the things you’d reflected on. Confidence will come and you’ll soon feel like a natural. We’re all...

I have signed up to a local county league after my local regional league said I could only middle if I was on the promotion pathway. Thank you for the advice! Looking forward to getting started ⚽️

Having toyed with the thought of Womens, youth or men’s football. I have deciders that I would prefer to officiate on the women’s game (I have previously been quite involved via coaching etc, and has been something I have been in particular seeing the development over the last few seasons). Is...

I’ve had an issue putting friendlies on WGS whenever I chose one of the teams it for some reason does not let me save the game (the team name box has a red outline) not sure if anyone else has had this issue occur and has a work around other than just contacting the RDO, as the league sec hasn’t...

Hi guys, I have just finished officiating my first ever OA game. Pre season friendly between 2 middle league Sunday teams. Breaking it down the game and a few key incidents. Overall, I think it was a very hit and miss game. I think I did a few things well and had quite a few poor decisions...

Hi All, I have my first ever OA game this weekend having qualified earlier this year and doing a few youth games to get a feel for it. The nerves have set in but also excited for it. Any advice anyone can share?

Evening folks, Quick question I have worked a lot in women’s football in my previous experience coaching etc, and this is something I could be interested in as a match official. I know the promotion scheme is different for the women’s game, as a Level 7 (qualified in May) is this something...

Has anyone got any advice around positioning. I have refereed a few games now (mixture of 11v11 and 9v9 as there hasn’t been a large amount of OA games due to off season) and some games I feel I have got it spot on, keeping left and tracking in to have a good angle and proximity if ball is out...

I had seen that but I wasn’t really sure what it entailed - also I only qualified semi-recently so don’t think I’d be good enough to even qualify 😂

Definitely agree I’m 26 in the autumn months so time still on my side but that have chance of getting to a decent level it’s got to be some what “quick”. That said I don’t really want to rush it as I could be more than comfortable at Sunday league games that work well around family life, but...

I am registered to the Nene currently but ideally want to try and keep quite local (luckily there’s quite a lot of teams (6/7) near me). I did have a think about the combination and other Saturday leagues to try and get the AR requirements for promotion however, travel would be an issue this...

Hi All, I have had some contact with local leagues about registering with them for next season however I am after some advice. I appreciate this is quite niche as it is mainly related to Northants CFA. I have a few colleagues at work that are also referees/involved in refereeing in other...

*UPDATE* I had submitted the games on 4th Jun so basically a month now and still no further update about when it will tick over to Level 7, even resubmitted (with CFA approved tournament games) after a county wide email asking anyone that has trainee level to that had completed 5 matches to...

I think I might get in touch with Olly as I am still technically classed as a Trainee on the WGS although I sent off my games from an FA sanctioned tournament a few weeks ago so not sure the hold up from it ticking over to a Level 7

Yeah I’m based in Northants at the mo my biggest worry with UCL is the travel required as I am quite new to refereeing and with work commitments I don’t want to take on too much that my family and work like heavily suffers. If I could stay relatively local to Northants and still AR would be a...

We have a midweek league that’s u18 but by looks of RPP from 7-6 the AR requirements need to be in u21 and over. UCL and SSML seem like a good option for me should they be accepting level 7s however travel maybe the big issue currently due to work/family commitments etc SSML has quite a few...

Hi All, New Level 7 ref here and I am planning on trying to gain promotion 7-6 next year (would love to do 6-5 aswell but I am realistic that this is quite unlikely) the new promotion targets seem to include 5 AR appointments however the only 2 leagues near me that consistently run teams of 3...

I’m such a time freak which I suppose isn’t always the worse thing. Need to know when and where/ all things sorted plenty of time ahead just for piece of mind 😂. Will try to keep the patience
