My Power Statement I Use During Matches which helps me answer and dismiss players claims all in 4 words!
No comes back...(not much arguing)...simple and clear statement which has worked for me for a couple of seasons now and may also work for you.
Also, have noticed that our domestic referees hardly if ever smile or show emotion on the field of play? He's my reasons why I think this

I'll be honest, this is one of the best referee calls yet we have had.
So much fun, knowledge and experiences shared.
We speak about the Man u V Wolves penalty that was not given and so much other things such as handling dissent, sin bins aw so many. Was really fun.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.

In this week's community call we discuss sin bins and do they actually work for stopping dissent in a game?
The guys talk about their experiences along with Kian's Pot noodle sandwich as a form of pre-match nutrition (interesting) lol
Lots of chat and fun.

Matt is just about to go into his second year of refereeing amateur football and posed these questions. Let's answer them.
Before we do that. Click HERE to join our email list to get all our weekly content to help you climb up the referee career ladder and meet likeminded referees..
- During 'play', if a player calls another player a f*g ct or something similar, can I award an indirect free-kick to the team the verbally abused player is part of?
- Can I award an indirect free kick if a player shouts in a players face or something similar to put them off under 'unsporting conduct' LsOTG?
- Can I stop play and restart the game with a non-contested drop ball to deal with severe dissent towards me as a referee when play is on going?

What a day.
I set this goal up 6 months ago so for that date to finally come and for me to achieve this goal was inspiring.
There were times in the run I wanted to quit and give up.
The end seemed never to arrive but once you have completed a challenge the first time you will always know you can achieve it again.
I have already signed up to the marathon for 2024 :)

Will wearing the official referee attire help me get promoted faster?
Great question to consider at the start of your career.
You want to start off on the right foot with your association and be SEEN and therefore PERCEIVED as a professional from day one.
The mistake I see alot of young referees make and I did myself is showing up to training and games wearing just casual wear, not the official referee clothing.
Let's discuss the issues with this if you are looking to be promoted fast..

This discussion was very interesting to learn how players perceive referees. As a referee I often don't hear players opinions about my performance (off the pitch) so it was great to have some feedback from Stuart.
Stuart runs an amateur football facebook page called "Doon the Park". Click here to see his page and give it a follow.
It's a great tool to read and learn the art of blogging amateur football. He has a real talent and passion for this and it shows through his writing.

Pulling a muscle during a game is one of the worst experiences as a referee.
This happened to me recently.
From then on, I made a promise to myself to priorities warming up, cooling down and recovery!
Im feeling great now with this plan in place.

- who pays?
- how many subs can be listed?
- how many subs can be used?
- is it rolling subs?
-
how many officials can be listed?
-
what size of ball is used?
- how far in advance should you be given teamlines?
- what is the duration?
-
if colours clash, who changes?
-
if it's an SWFL or NAP game, where do I process it?
-
if it's a cup match and is drawn, what happens?
-
can trialists be played, and, if so, how many??
- what happens if an outfield player, substitute or goalkeeper is injured after teamlines have been exchanged?
- do I have to record goal scorers and times?

Ok let me share with you.
This weekend I am being observed by a referee coach.
Only happens two or three times a season so its big news.

Hey,
This past weekend I had 4 games.
They were intense to say the least.
A few days on, im reflecting on some of the decisions I made and if they were
made purely because of the crowd pressure.

Loved recording this episode as I remember being a new refereeing and not having a clue where to go to book more games.
Then I discovered the hidden art of how to secure more games which no one told me about. 4 simple steps really

Hey guys,
Hope you're enjoying the world cup games so far.
Argentina have woken up and started playing football well again in the tournament which brought to mind a life lesson for me.
"It doesnt matter how you start, all that matters is how you end".
I learned £120 this weekend refereeing kids football.
It was a great experience and overcame a few mental hurdles at the same time. Listen in to take something away from my experience.

Funny story.
I am looking to talk with more guests on my podcast.

Kian, a young referee is my guest today from the UK.
Full of life and experience im sure we're all kinda jealous we never started refereeing so young once you hear this conversation...
He's got a bright future ahead of him as long as he sticks out the course and commits to the daily habits of training and continuously improving his knowledge of the game.
He shares with me some recent unpleasant incidents on the pitch and I give him advice on how to deal with this in future.
Absolutely fantastic conversation and if you're looking to get into refereeing or move up the career ladder faster then join my 6 week mentorship programme to learn everything you could ever need to know about refereeing.

There will be links below to the PDFs I mentioned on the show. They are not available yet but i'll add them in due course here.
Today I had an eye opening discussion with experienced referee and mentor Chris Wade.
We discuss the difficulties and struggles for new people to become referees and then what is required to keep them enjoying it for many years to come. We also spoke about abuse from parents on the touch line and emotional support avenues which referees can seek help from.
I loved this discussion and I know you'll love his insights.
