How to get Veo footage.

[The Gump]

Main potential incidents of note (and/or where I could do with some thoughts!):

From 34:56: bottled caution - didn't think it was SPA at the time then realised I should have cautioned - ARs in agreement

Yes. One of those in Dog & Duck football where you'd likely get a comment along the lines of "it's not the Premier League, Ref!" but he's got a chance either to carry the ball or play it through for a potential 1v1, but it's not an egregious error imho.

From 1:04:09: Violent conduct resulting in a red card and a caution for the other involved player for his reaction to keep control and also to even things up (excuse my funny run in, I look a bit odd there!)

Nailed the decision. Would echo others comments about facing the players and also the length of time to administer the sanctions. I have some youth leagues where there are no ARs and no team sheets, so the process taking some time is inevitable, but with accurate team sheets and ARs, getting the sanctions issued much quicker would help (especially in circumstances where things hadn't calmed down as much as in this case).

1:23:30: possible second caution for player booked in second mentioned incident above. Decided against it and now I think he should have had an early shower - possible SPA/reckless?. Thoughts? (You can actually tell from the footage that I was really thinking about it - my hand was almost in my pocket).

It's hard from the distance but I think careless rather than reckless is an easy sell. RE possible SPA, there's a defender right there so personally I think it's the correct decision.

1:26:41 foul on keeper. Lino had a perfect view and advised no card at all, looking back I'm thinking I could have cautioned here. Thoughts again appreciated!

It is YC for reckless. Easy to sell given he ends up going for the ball with his foot and not his head, and whilst his eyes seem to be always on the ball so he was unaware the keeper was there given the area of delivery the keeper was always likely to be coming.

I've only worked with NARs three times before and it's still a learning curve knowing when to ask advice and when not. As posted early, I missed a clear SFP by asking the opinion of the AR when it should have been obvious to me at the time that my view of the incident was infinitely better and my instinct was the right one. Every middle is a learning middle!

All in all a good job for your first OA game!
