RefChat

Hi all, maybe a bit of a strange post but just wondered if anyone has had the same problem at all or can recommend something for me? I have switched from using a full match pad to a match card and write on stickers on my cards, using primarily a click sharpie. I found this works best for me than faffing about with the match pad which was my go too as a new ref, having experimented with different setups.

Does this sound dodgy to anybody else? I’m a new referee and have applied to join a league. The referee secretary for that league has come back and said one of the requirements is joining a specific Referee Association, of which he is the chairperson. I’m already a member of a different RA that is my local one. The other one that I would have to join is about 30 miles away from where I live. Of course it’s not that expensive but surely it’s a conflict and abuse of power.

Not sure how anyone else is getting on with it (pre count whistle) but after three friendlies and one academy game, I have stopped using the whistle and just started the loud verbal count down. When whistling, players were getting confused with it whereas just starting the count down they have been fine. I think in noisy EFL/Premier League grounds etc it may be beneficial?? How is everyone else finding it?
