first game

New ref here. Had my first game recently. Open age league match, and I gave my first ever yellow card for a reckless challenge. Player apologised, and I had no significant incidents for the rest of the match. I was very confident it was RP, but after the match the manager and a few players...

Hello, first time poster and new referee. Had my first game in the middle today at an academy U12, 9v9 with offsides. I was told prior to the game we do our own offsides. No AR's or Club assistants. I found it really difficult to keep an eye on the offsides as well as everything else. I called...

I have been appointed my first game as an AR on MOAS. (not my first ever game, referred a few years back and getting back into it. have done the line for my brothers youth team a few years back) It is a cup game where one team is a hellenic premier team Can anyone let me know anything they...

I've got two U13 games as a middle tomorrow, kinda nervous haha 😄 Just wondering what you guys do before a game, and specifically what you did before your first game. These are my first games so any tips or tricks would be much appreciated 🙃

Hi everyone, It's my first game on Saturday! I'll be refereeing the U10s. Any tips, tricks and advice would be appreciated. Cheers

I have my first game tomorrow I am reffing an Under 12s game so hopefully that will be good to ease myself into it but I'm nervous I will make a wrong decision as I've seen lots of people saying that their first games have gone really badly. Also something I'm unsure about is how you manage...

So i took charge of my first game yesterday - I don't think it went particularly great. I turned up and the pitch we were meant to be playing on was being used by another team so we were allocated an astro truth pitch. Introduced myself to the teams and there was a bit of light hearted banter...

Hi, I am 14 and have recently completed the first part of my course (I now have to referee five games and take the test). On Saturday, I have my first game. It is an U11 match, first game of the season. I am reasonably confident about the game itself but not very sure about what to do prematch...

Hi all, Recently took my course and currently a trainee ref. Did my first game at the weekend but was only a U11 game that wasn't technically 'competitive'. I have my second game this weekend and my first real game. It is still only U12 but means a lot more for the players. Its a Division 2...

Got my first ever competitive game coming up Sunday, into Divison 1 youth, any tips/advice I can get? Also, what would be your limit of abuse? Like little comments here and there, but what would you issue a card for? How bad would you let the comments get until you issue a card? Cheers!!
