Hi All
Since I've refereed, I've always used something similar to these: http://www.referee-equipment.co.uk/...Coloured-Match-Pad-with-50-Sheets-MC-COLOUR50 - disposable paper pads of match cards, which fit inside a wallet that also holds my red/yellow cards. To a casual observer, it looks like a plastic-lined notebook that also holds the cards on the outside of the covers.
However the plastic sleeves that hold the pad in place have started to fall apart and I think I'm going to have to replace or upgrade soon and was considering alternatives - although this systems works quite well for me, there's not a lot of room for my large and untidy handwriting and the sleeves that hold the cards can be a little tight, preventing speedy access.
I'm a little sceptical about the durability of "reusable" cards or sleeves, has anyone had problems with this? I was also considering using a plain notebook to record KO, goals and allow me to take detailed notes where required, coupled with write-on cards or skins such as these https://www.refsworlduk.co.uk/collections/cards/products/card-skins-1 for more straightforward cautions/dismissals.
I'd be really interested in people's thoughts or advice on what works well for them, as I've never tried anything other than what I initially went with.
