This is the incident with a close up on the referee.

He puts his whistle to his mouth and takes it away again, not blowing until the ball is in the air and the third blast is as the ball goes in the goal. For me he should do one of two things to avoid any possible flare ups, blow earlier as the first corner was cleared or delay and allow the...

So, third division league game this morning, Yellow v Red. Early petulant trip from yellow, nice easy caution. However whilst still on the floor the red players kicks out and catching yellow in his gentleman area. Call both over caution yellow for the trip and send off red for the kick...

Cup Final last weekend, 6 yellows 2 reds (1 OffInAbus, 1 DOGH)

I had a similar situation on Sunday. 2-1 in the last minute and a penalty awarded to the home team, which made it 3-1. Blew for full time straight after the restart. As players were shaking my hand one away player told me I was "**** and lost the plot." I didn't find it met the criteria for...

I did speak with the captain after the incident as he asked why it was red. So in hindsight calling him over as part of the dismissal may have prevented escalation by his players. The goalkeeper took quite a whack and was down in a serious amount of pain, at the time my priority was to deal...

Thanks for the comments, nice to know that its not my attitude thats the issue. Must be doing something right, just received my appointments from the league for March and have the same two teams again in three weeks in another semi final.

I think my biggest thing is like to take stock of, is a couple of players accused me of having an attitude with them. Maybe I did, it voices had to be raised to be heard when I’m surrounded and hand gestures when telling the captain to get a grip of his players. But I cannot see how I could...

Yesterday refereeing cup semi final, black/white v green. All started well some great football being played. Some grumbles from green about the challenges on one player in particular. Nothing other than careless but after a couple it did seem he was being targeted. On the third I called...

I have a few colours and only referee as a bit of fun on a Sunday morning as the players who play in the leagues I referee. If I feel I can wear a different colour if someone is in a dark kit I will. If my CFA have an issue, they'll be a referee short. What does it hurt to wear a colour other...

This morning was one of “those” games. Red v blue and all was going well with very few foul tackles. In 54th minute with the score at 1-5 blue are attacking and blue 9 gets goal side. Red 12 slides in to tackle and does well to get the ball, blue 9 managed to stay on his feet despite...

Had a player yell ‘man on’ at an opposing right winger from about 30 yards away. This caused the winger to check his run allowing another defender to get close enough to challenge. Easy IDFK and caution. The fact it was his second (first was C1(AA)) is not my problem. The usual ones are...
