I was looking on the Yesref App and came across an U15 game just up the road from me (UK) advertised with a match fee of £50. A phone call confirmed they are paying the normal £28 fee as set by the grass roots local league where they play plus a £22 top up from the club chairman. Obviously they...

Thanks for the insights. Although I believe the school itself make the appointments for the games, this has come about after my CFA sent out a request on behalf of the school who are looking to build a small pool of refs. I don’t know if any of these games would be officially...

I’ve just registered with a local to me very posh UK Public school who have been asking for referees for their inter school U12/18s teams. Has anyone here been involved in these type of games? I’m curious if there are any expected Differences in behaviour from players or what is expected from...

I had similar recently in an U15 game, Blues winning 5 nil already, blue striker horribly miss hits a shot which balloons up and then dips under the bar over the keepers desperate backwards dive for it. Ball settles in back of net, i signal a goal and trudge back towards centre whilst pulling...

Thanks es1 👍

Simple question pls (Dismissed a player today and need to record sanctions on whole game) 1st caution C1 USB 2nd caution C1 FT Do I record the first as a C1 yellow separately and the second S7 Red or just enter the S7 Red (as it asks for both offence details) thanks All.

Yes pls Matt, message sent

and to answer the original question, I’ll prob get a yellow out every 5 or 6 games at U14s

I find U14s is where the testosterone generally starts to kick in and as SL says you won’t see it a lot but it’s def there at times. If you feel it’s needed then do it, Enjoy your game

U14s yellow vs blue, blue player tackled and feels he’s fouled by yellow defender I don’t agree and it’s play on, blue player shouts at defender “you C.nt” loud enough for some parents on the sidelines to hear. I stop game. As I’m walking over to him half my brains saying straight Red offinabus...

I had a 14 year old at the end of a game recently say to me “thanks Ref your the first Ref we’ve had this year that’s not biased against us!” i’m sure that’s not true but I’ll take it

Thanks Ross 👍

Ross you asked for help shifting this watch, just need a yes or no mate?

Is this still available pls Ross?

It seemed a genuine chat really, I didn’t pick up on any “you don’t need to report that” vibes. Extraordinary report was submitted.

As said above google the league your game is run by and look for a rules/policy section. Most will do a compact table summary looking something like this -

Thanks One, you make a good point, I’m nearing the end of my second season as R and always looking to learn/improve. Maybe asking a cheeky/gobby 15 year old if he’d like another yellow in front of his mates led him into a predictable response 😀

There had been a bit of low level grumbling going on mainly from their keeper (who knew!) the sort of stuff that’s borderline annoying/dissent, so there were a couple of warnings, but not specific to this player.

I have given the game some self reflection and concluded that I made it very clear during the pre game chat with the players that I wouldn’t tolerate dissent, so really the only thing I could have done differently (and it did think about doing it at the time) would have been to go back on that...
