Hi folks, Just a quick query about an incident that I had in a game recently. I had a team and their technical area listed the following people; 1. Manager 2. Assistant Manager 3. Physio 4. Kitman For this particular game, the manager was suspended so his name has been stroked off leaving...

Not sure how many people watch them, but I follow a Essex Sunday League team on Youtube who record all their games and put them online - https://www.youtube.com/PalmersFC. I've got a couple of questions about some of the refereeing that I see on there. There's been a few games this season...

Always socks up and shirt tucked in for me in the warmup. Whatever anyone else does is up to them as long as they are on it from the first whistle.

Nothing at all stopping them I wouldn't have thought. Since the refs in the Premier League are paid retainers on top of match fees then theoretically they could just do what the Saudis have done with Clattenburg. If I was considered to be one of the top refs in my country and PGMOL came calling...

Had one of these a couple of years ago. 85th minute, standing on the goal line for a corner, no ARs, and the ball gets hoofed out of the penalty area by the defending team to put them on the attack. I immediately started sprinting to catch up and then the attacker gets slide tackled just as he...

We use the Adidas kit in my country and I'm trying to find if there is a baselayer colour that will match the blue kit. See the kit here - https://www.prokituk.com/teamwear/adidas-teamwear/adidas-bags-accessories/adidas-referee-16-jersey-s-s-glow-blue-black.html I've got matching colours for...

Must be an English thing this CAR business. Where I am, we simply have someone from each team stand at the half way line and flag for ball in and out of play. No running about, no offsides, no direction for throw. Keeps it nice and simple, no one is expecting anything else and all other...

I looked at it more as the fact that the ball had gone, the Red player was clearly frustrated and deliberately checked him. Went with a red becuase I thought that it was excessive in that it was no where near the play and was a deliberate act. Possibly could have got away with just a yellow but...

Amateur Cup tie, Red vs Blue, teams from opposite sides of the country so never normally play each other. Midway through the second half, scores are level at 2-2. Red player injures himself attempting to make a tackle but not serious enough to warrant stopping the game for it. Blue team...

I've been using a couple of Casio F91-W watches since I've started but I'm looking for something different with some more information on it. I've got a Garmin Edge 520 for my bicycle so I thought that a Garmin watch would fit in nicely with the Garmin software and HRM I'm already using? Anyone...

Yep, ball clearly moved. I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. Looked like a complete failure by the orange team.

Open Age game, Orange vs Blue. Midway through second half I gave an IDFK against Blue for their GK picking up the ball from a passback. He picked the ball up inside the 6 yard box. Cue complaints from keeper of "I'm not Messi ref, what do you want me to do?". Set up the free kick, defending...

Whether the white player deliberately shoots is irrelevant, referee correctly gave the goal but it's an understandably messy situation.

Clip here https://streamable.com/nemw Looks like the attacker just stood on the defenders foot. Clumsy tackle though.

I remember seeing it in a game recently, I think it was an international but not sure. The sub ran down the touchline without entering the FOP and took a corner and the referee did nothing about it. It was brought up later in some post match analysis.

Bit of an unusual one today, Black vs Blue - Black are Semi Pro, Blue are the u20s team of a Senior team. I was AR1 on technical area side, ball went out for throw to Black and they made a substitution before the restart. The sub picked up the ball before he entered the FOP to take the throw so...

My dads a referee, as was his father in law. Following on the family tradition I guess....

Maybe it's just as well that I wasn't the referee then :oops:

I was AR on a game today, home goalkeeper and away striker clash heads from a long ball into the box. Keeper gets the last touch so goes out for corner. Physios on to treat both players. Cue the shouts from the away bench when the referee tells the striker that he has to go off the pitch but the...
