This ^^^^Laugh it off mate. Pay no mind to it, concentrate on the game.
This is what I was thinking, obviously hopefully let the humour and novelty wear off first of having a referee of your own age while still being in school. But if it gets aggressive and distracting I'd cite this as my reasoning behind a possible booking.I think this could be a once-in-a-career opportunity to caution a player who "acts in a manner which shows a lack of respect for the game". So I hope you take it!
You're probably right to be fair, let's hope so and I can get on with refereeing normally. I'm not that naive enough to think it was 100% serious, but the player in question is known for being a bit of a pellet to referees and opposition players!You appear to be taking a second hand, off the cuff remark from a ladies football training session very seriously. They were messing about mate.
You are young so perhaps the prospect of being flirted with is still exciting. However,and I hate to break this to you, ladies do not find the referee or his outfit sexy. There is no sexy football referee calendar (like you see for half naked firemen!). There is no popular chat up line that starts "hi love, I am a footie referee, get your coat it's your lucky night!"
Stop worrying about this and get your thinking straight.

If it's done once or twice it's a kid on thing of course. But if it happens throughout the game I'm taking it as trying to distract me and being a pain in the arse that I'm going to deal with. Been told to treat the game the same no matter what gender and if a gay male footballer did this our reactions would be different.
Never mind fellas, pal was on the wind up... What an embarrassment
Typical Essex response right there!never know though...could end up with 5 minutes behind the bike sheds after!! wheyyyyyyyy
