Match today at 2:15pm. Blue v Purple. (U14 age group). Both teams in the top division of their age and Blue is 3rd, Purple is 1st. So obviously the game was going to be a feisty! It started off okay, with strong tackles from both sides and they were fair. I gave free kicks where it was...

After a long Christmas break, I've managed to get my refereeing up and running again with my first fixture tomorrow! After such a long break, I'm actually feeling a bit nervous :( (Plus it didn't help when the manager text me saying 'It'll be a big test for you;)). Anyway, do any of you still...

Green v Blue. Blue team has a goal kick. Keeper kicks the ball to a player in his penalty area. So it's touched another player before leaving the penalty area. I gave an indirect free kick:oops: Knew it was the wrong decision after I gave it! No goals or advantage came from it! Just to confirm...

Just had a tournament today and boy, was it hard work! 10-3, refereeing with 2 minute breaks! It was really hard, but I loved every second! No hassle at all; apart from the semi final... Yellow v Red, Reds are down 3-0. Yellow player has a shot from 20 yards out and it hits the cross bar and...

So I received my Fox 40 whistle today, and I just can't seem to get along with it? I used to use an ACME thunderer, and all the threads I'd seen seemed to suggest the Fox 40 was a great whistle, but unlike my Thunderer, it seems to require a lot more effort and air to produce a good hard blast...
