Been lucky enough to only ever have a maximum of one pitch next to me & that’s rare, very fortunate in the Thames valley area to have some nice little pitches & sole use pitches.

Plus I use a 99p old school pea whistle I doubt there are many on a Sunday morning using them.

Used to use lanyard, now just carry two interlinked fox 40s

Am carrying one, cos as stated, if you drop one here, you drop both!

Interesting these are pieces of equipment that I didn’t realise needed my attention

I was on a game this season where ref used the watch and app

Am too stuck in my ways now, but I would try if in the future am sure

I joked in times to come he could watch decisions back at the time, VAR style

And obviously that might indeed happen.

I've got a Garmin Fenix 5S
Total waste of money (unlike my notepad and pen!)

Which means if you drop one you drop them both? Fine on a professional pitch as it will just bounce, do that on a parks pitch and you're clawing them both out of the mud.

Never dropped them yet, 2 whistles together are difficult to drop and if they do drop, it's not like I won't notice. If they land in the mud i'd just wipe them off...

I did mention one of those fancy watches that records how many times I put the knife & fork to my mouth, Mrs wasn’t overly keen on the price or having to teach me how to use the bloody thing.

I'm carrying two because its bulkier and easier to hold on to. I could always have another spare in my pocket like you but I doubt I will ever drop them. If I do, you'll read it on here!

I have another reason for one at a time! Am very ocd about my whistle and the first time I dont like how it sounds, I will replace it. I would hate to blow into the one of two whistles am holding, for a second time in game, and not like the sound emitting.
With one at a time, I simply swap with the one in pocket and thats that
But yes, holding two does sit nicely on finger

Both let’s say me my dinner and table cloths don’t go well together, I am the youngest of five let’s say I had to eat quickly as a child

A referee friend always carried a voice recorder, players all knew as he warned them and a quick tap on the Brest pocket normally deflated nonesence dissenting!

I'd have thought this wouldn't be allowed...

Hope this aint off topic, it kind of is on topic as I use one when observing but the above reminds me of my fav joke

I offered a pal a use of my dictaphone..
He said no, he would just use his fingers the same as always....

 

[Sheffields Finest]

It was his favourite gadget, not sure if he ever used it but it helped to quell mouth!

This is what I use, just jot team names down & subs names / no’s & that’s me.

Just works better for me having space to write and pages to flip if needed rather than being limited to the one template I ended up scribbling a right mess in my first game trying to get it all into the box’s.

But whatever works for u I guess.

so the real referee little black book lol
