    Club AR/parent

    Had a club AR today who disagreed with a few decisions. No issues, told him to stop and he did. Later on he said something else and I could hear a player behind me saying to himself “oh, shut up dad”. Felt sorry for the kid. Just wants to enjoy the football. Don’t think these parents realise...

    Racist abuse

    Hi all, incident below in a match I was playing in. Thankfully , I’ve not come across this while reffing but I was wondering how it would be best approached. “One of our players is called a nig**r from the side lines. No one hears it but him (the ball has just gone out by the opposing team’s...

    Kicking the ball away

    Hi guys. Game yesterday. Gave a free kick and the offender kicked the ball away. I gave a yellow Wondering if this should have been a sin bin for dissent? What do you think?

    OA crazy ending.

    First open age men’s game today. Overall well tempered and only one yellow in the match. Made a few big decisions but I was well positioned to make the call (something I’ve been working hard on). Defo think my position helped sell decisions as although there was moaning, things didn’t get...

    Law exam- question on advantage

    Hi guys. Did my law exam this evening. Pretty straight forward stuff. I was chatting to the instructor after about one of the questions relating to advantage. The question was something like: true or false- after giving advantage you can bring back play for a free kick if it doesn’t turn into...

    Something I’ve never seen before

    Hi guys. So here’s one I’ve not seen before. I’d appreciate some advise on a restart please. Ball is on the wing and CAR puts flag up. I blow to stop play and all players are adamant it didn’t go out. I look to CAR and she says ‘oh sorry, I was just messing about with the flag’ Everyone...

    Abandoned match

    Hi guys. Yesterday one of my games was 4 x 20 min quarters and with about 12 mins to go in the match a player went down. Once the ball was out of play I got the coach on etc and the player was in a lot of pain. He was carried off and he was subbed. I restarted play We played on for a few...

    Challenging match.

    Hi guys. Had my most challenging game so far yesterday and wondered if you could give me a few pointers. It was a college league game so the players were between 16 and 18. Both teams constantly were holding, pushing and committing niggly fouls. Some I let go if possession was kept...

    4 games in. Reflections

    Hi guys. So I’m 4 games in now. I’ve done U16 girls, U14 boys, U14 girls and an U11 boys. Really enjoyed it and have a few things to reflect on which I thought I’d share and see if anyone had similar things at the start of their career. I’m happy with how the games went and really happy...

    Quick question guys.

    Hi guys. Me again. Just finished U16 girls match. Mostly fine. Nipped and nonesense in the bud straight away. No real issues. Except: half way through the second half the coach of one team said one of the opposing players kept grabbing the breast of the same player while challenging for the...

    Brand new team.

    Hi guys. I’ll most likely get trolled a lot for this but: On Saturday I’m down to ref an U16 girls league match. I’ve just chatted to the home team and she informs me it’s their second game- ever! I don’t know about the players, if they’ve come from other teams etc but I was wondering if I...

    Rain!!

    Hi everyone. First post. Doing my very fuss match on Sunday. U14 boys. First of the 5. Weather forecast is not good at all and it’s been raining lots here. 2 questions really 1) how bad would the pitch need to be for he to abandon the match at that level? I’m sure there’ll be puddles on...
