I had to abandon my game today. Goalkeeper received two separate blows to the head in the space of 20 minutes. His manager cleared to to carry on the 1st time, I wasn't entirely comfortable with him carrying on. The 2nd time he was down and stayed down leading to an ambulance being called. My...

I have completed all the requirements for 6-5 promotion and thought that was that but have since been told that it has to go to the county FA council to be granted. I've not heard or read anything that suggested that, is it normal procedure? Also I was hoping to go 5-4 but with the other...

Team is down to 7 players. Their centre back then picks up his 2nd temporary dismissal. Laws says the referee must abandon the game. Is this still the case even if the team still have a substitute they can use?

Last few minutes of a tight cup game away team number 15 scores and wheels away, shirt off round his head. Look over CAR flag up confirming my suspicions off side. Caution for shirt off?

Ran the line for for my local club before my season start. Decent game by the referee (despite not warming up?!). Anyway last minute flash point between two players much of nothing really chests out etc. Referee gave red a piece. Manager spoke after the game to him and he may rescind to a yellow...

Anyone else think that this Adidas shirt looks like a vicars casual wear?!

Watched my local side (reds) V away team (black and white, Newcastle style) at a half decent amateur standard. The referee was wearing a blue bib, because he clashed with the away team. What do you guys do when faced with a kit clash?

First red card for OFINABUS to today, I really dont know what drives a player to look at you and swear like that. I was calling him over anyway to caution him for kicking the ball away when he refused and swore at me, it was alot easier to RC him than i thought it would be! Though some of...

I begrudgingly stop a game for a head injury recently, though Im sure I saw him "peeping", did the necessary game carried on. 85th minute home team score the winner from being 2-0 down from a set piece as im walking to the half way I look back and a defender lying on the floor hands on head (I...

What happened at WHL on Saturday evening got me thinking about something my tutor said whan I took the course (many years ago (9!)) about any medical incident you as a referee should leave well alone and let someone else deal with it. Now where as a whole agree with this, I referee in places...

Players boot comes off, ref gives IDFK to Athletic, they score commentators and pundits on Telly and ones I respect on twitter all say ref is correct. So I consult magic book, ref should have allowed play on. Yet I still read and hear pundits say the the ref is right, so I'm doubting myself...

Gave a penalty very early on, on Saturday, against the the away team (clear favorites) however it was not clear no one was expecting it, the player i gave it to even turned to me think i had penalised him before realising! This really threw my match control until the away team eventually took...

Took an FA county cup tie last week for this Sat just gone, and typical it was one of only 4 games called off this weekend (my original league fixture went ahead!), Sods bloody law! Got the rearranged cup games this weekend, which will also be 3 MONTHS since I refereed a competitive Open Aged...

Nothing to do with refereeing, first time in a long time that ive discarded my refereeing cap and been a Liverpool fan (not one of those racist thugs mind). So...... Get In hahahahahahaha!

Amongst all the referee bashing from the media etc I have read two pieces today that are "supporting" referees. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/9019178/Former-Newcastle-youth-player-Michael-Oliver-is-a-refereeing-star-in-making.html &...

A question ive just been asked is, when wearing tight whilst playing ie. ones that run from under the shorts to below the sock line, what colour should they be. I would presume they should match the shorts as opposed to the socks?

Did anyone catch this the other night... http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lspecials An interview with Mike Riley, theres nothing in there that would be new to us as referees, and as far as being a "fan" i think all this has done is to infuriate them more, questions were asked in which Mike...

I think every referee in the country (hopefully the man himself aswel) saw that Mr Foy had a poor game, however I read this article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/8951931/Henry-Winter-referees-need-to-talk-more-or-controversies-will-run-and-run.html and...

Just wondering what kit and where 2buy it from. Don't want a PL style kit (as I feel that would seem big headed from a level 7) but I'm struggling to fine one I like and is of good quality. Any ideas?
