welcome - hope that you enjoy the experience :)

well i wouldn't have thought that they would have made a basic error of backing up the DB so I guess it is a waiting game!

Exactly what I was thinking - unless they have hit a snag?....Hope it will be back up soon

Anyone know when it will be back online?

Thanks Ross Have a cracking one all :D

Hey As we are coming into the cold slot - I got this from the Referee Development page on Facebook http://www.cambridgeshirefa.com/GetIntoFootball/Refereeing/PitchInspections/ It covers pitch inspections etc for the winter period!

As i don't get to come here often, i thought I'd be the first to wish a Happy Christmas to all members and their familes! I hope you don't get any abandonments on Christmas day, no OFFINABUS from the family and no dissent fron the kids! Have a cracking one all! Colin

I am a Stoke City fan - watched the game and yes, he had a bit of a mare as far as i can tell - but thats my opinion as a fan, not a ref! The article - shocking, but isn't that the media for you?

I believe this is still being looked into! oh, and if that's not a red - i'm a port vale fan :eek:

Personally - I would only talk to another official (on a game where i am a spectator) if i had official capacity to do so - otherwise, I am potentially creating a problem for myself. As Ryan says, regardless of age, experience etc, perhaps this was an off day (we all have them) hell, the other...

To contradict my previous post - i would only ever stop for laces if it was the goalkeeper! Other than that, why would i?....As Ross says, nothing in the laws that says i should

i have the umbro wembley kit from A&H. I'm a lvl 7 referee - but i don't think level matters - it brought this kit because I like it, the quality is excellent and it looks professional - so many referees in the lgs i ref in turn up looking shabby, so when i turn up looking smart and well...

Agreed, but I would have made him know that should he want to check on me he is more than welcome ;)

answered my own question, lol

I personally wouldn't allow these to be taken quickly - but that's me, i think we're all different on this one......on the was it or not question, TBH, that one could have gone either way and i'd imagine if it wasn't given there wouldn't have been many complaints!

correct by the letter of the law, but laughable!

I work on the principle that therhas to be intent to play the ball with the hand or arm, if so, i blow (then choose what action to take depending on the situation) - if i do'nt see intent, we carry on

I fear that the backlash of not giving the card would have been quite bad - whilst I think it goes without saying that everyone is sorry for his loss and applaud him for playing in his current circumstances it was still his choice to remove his top - I can see why some wouldn't want a card, but...
