I use a clip on pencil that clips to the card. Haven’t found a need for pen yet
What do you write?

I'm all for pencil with a clip.
Is it the one on Amazon?

Glad I stumbled upon this.
At the minute I use the back of a blank expenses card and write the team names at the top, on on each side, then I record goals underneath by the minute with a / separating i.e. 14/26/44
Then I write anything else underneath, and if I'm senior AR I set myself up a bit at the bottom for subs.
I've tried using the pre-printed cards but I can't write small enough to make it fit legibly in the boxes.
And if my hands are numb... anything goes!

Apologies for reviving a dead thread.
On the back of this I bought these pencils and the stickers that you use from RefStore. A major issue I'm having is that after erasing what I write, it becomes harder and harder to write on the same spot and have it still be legible, almost like trying to write over tippex. Do you have this issue?
These stickers are otherwise ideal. I'm thinking an alternative is just to use a Sharpie and design my own to print with sticker paper or something so I don't have to fork out £7 for 10 of them.
Does anybody else use some form of marker pen on card + removal technique that works for them? I'm tempted to start using a regular notepad at this rate.
I've used Ref Stop cards with Ref Stop write on stickers with a sharpie. I think I've gotten a good 5 or so games with the same sticker on. I spray with Lynx Africa (unsurprisingly from Christmas presents) to remove the pen.
What a waste of good deoderant!!!
I'll get some more next Christmas don't worry
I respect your opinion on most things James, but lynx Africa being good deodorant is a step too far!
What a good use of a waste of a deodorant
I can't remember where but on some official website I got a pack of 50 match cards for £3 plus whatever the delivery cost.
I haven’t had this issue. Simple pencil eraser and they are good as new
The new fine tipped retractable permanent sharpie pens have been a game changer for me
The older thicker retractable sharpies were no good
I put the skins onto a separate white card as I like to reserve the yellow card for yellow card purposes only. I don't want to write on it

I've not seen the thin retractable ones. Where did you get them from?
I got mine off eBay (USA), I recall, although I've heard you can get them over here now
Are they just the fine tip ones that aren't actually that fine or are they the ultra fine?
They write like a normal pen.... except that they're sharpie permanents
Need these in my life.
