Substitute enters FOP and interferes with play. What is the restart and disciplinary sanction? Whilst a team official can be sent off for entering FOP to interfere I can’t find anything in law for subs. Therefore, my restart would be DFK for interfering with play and caution for entering FOP...

I cautioned a manager on Monday night for dissent following a decision (backed by observer). He stepped outside of TA displaying low-level disagreement. I got a major dev for TA in my last observation so wasn’t going to be lenient. I may be overthinking, but should this be a red card? From...

Last minute Sheffield United penalty; what do we think? I can’t see the foul personally but I’m also a West Ham supporter so maybe looking through tinted spectacles.

Hi All, just curious if anywhere else in the country is experiencing the problem we’ve got down here in Kent? From what I’ve heard there’s far too many level 4s so they’re getting a middle and two lines a month if they’re lucky. We’ve also got another 60+ 5-4s this season who normally referee...

Should technical area occupants be cautioned for entering the FOP to celebrate a goal?

Just curious what is considered good club marks at level 4 (step 5/6). They don't mean a great deal to me right now but just interested in what I should be aiming for.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to work out an observer score from a match day coaching report?

Can a sub be made just before a penalty?

Free kick awarded to team A for a reckless challenge from a team B player. Team B player is injured and receives treatment. When can the team B player be cautioned? When they're on the floor (generally I see referees wait for players to stand up before showing a card)? Do you wait until the next...

Got a county cup appointment involving step 7 teams who would have roll on subs in league games. This is in the rules for the competition (don’t want to interpret it wrong). ‘Five substitutes from up to five nominated to the Referee in accordance with Rule 11 below are permitted at any time...

Should we be implementing the new directives from PGMOL and The FA in the grassroots game this season e.g added time tougher delaying restart cautions and cautions for asking for a card? I’ve only seen the Fa email for steps 2-6 but nothing for grassroots.

I'll be observed this season for 4w-3w. I've seen that different parts of the observation are weighted differently for the mark. How does this work?

So referees at level 4 and above now receive free kit does anyone know about the women's game? I understand level 2W and above receive EA branded kit already so will 3Ws get free kit as they can wear the new FA badge?

Lightning is forecast during my game today. I’m assuming stop play and abandon the game if there is. Is this right?

Has anyone come across this before? I just stumbled upon it and it's great. It's a blog included clips and analysis for technical development. https://www.croreferees.com/intothebook

Looking at going for 6-5 and 4W-3W next season. Anyone know if I can have the same games count for both pathways?

Can a player be shown a C4 caution before a penalty or should this go down as something else? e.g C1 AA. I can't find anything in LOTG.

I'm a L7 lining on step 6 league. On MOAS it says club reports are available next to the fixture. Are these club marks? And can I access these or is it only for those on promotion or the referee?

Just had the email from my RDO asking for submission of game logs for end of Q4. Does anyone know when decision/ promotion confirmation emails will be?

Is there a way to signal for a contentious goal kick without looking like offside? I had a line yesterday and I held the flag above my head to get the referee's attention and then lowered it to signal a goal kick. However the other assistant said he though I signalled for offside. Any pointers?
