Got my Level 5!

The main thing with goal celebrations is whether the player(s) endanger the safety of spectators or themselves. Once a player jumps over the advertising boards into the crowd, that's a pretty good indication of when to expect a caution. I didn't see Michael Oliver issue the caution on the...

I had a 2 footed tackle in my game last Saturday, knew straight away that it was excessive force and there were no complaints from either set of players. As it's been said, you know which tackles are the RC tackles when you say the imaginary 'ouch' as the tackle goes in. Luckily not much contact...

Before my game on Remembrance Sunday I noticed that a player was wearing a pin-badge poppy on his shirt. Felt bad when I had to ask him to take it off due to the safety aspect!

This season I've had one incident along these lines. The right back of a side who thought the ball had gone out for a goal kick (I wasn't in a good enough position to see) so calls me a cheating c*** in response. No other players heard it which caused me a bit of a problem, but I was in no...

well you know someone I don't!! And if CAR's are that good down in Devon, I'm moving!!

Request duly granted Lewis (sp) ;) Back on topic...I would never, ever, give buzzer flags to a CAR. You're just asking for trouble!! I'd love to know how much money you spend on batteries each year, seeing as they would be pressing that button non-stop for 90 minutes round these parts! I...

In all of our local leagues in Coventry, managers/secretaries of the home team have to confirm the fixture with the referee. If they fail to do so they are fined!

Best game I've ever played. Usually hooked on it until March/April, then get bored of it until the new one comes out! (and mainly trying to get out of the house during Summer!)
