It's a 2nd yellow. Stupid place to make that tackle.

It was a pleasure to referee at @AllStarsSussex today in the County Cup vs @H_Hawks_FC. Both sets of players, coaches and parents were immensely respectful. I didn't hear one 'reeefff' from anywhere. Got on and played to the whistle. Well done to all of you!

Must still be tired. Nearly squeezed Shockwaves on my toothbrush. At least my teeth would have been firmly held.

Great cup game this morning between @UGrasshoppers81 U11 Girls and @wuyfc Under 12's. Probably the most enjoyable game I've reffed in two seasons. Nothing but respect from both sets of coaches, players and parents. A credit to your leagues and @SussexCountyFA.

So the eldest, at 14, did his fifth qualifying game this morning and has joined the old man in the @SussexCountyFA match officials club. Nervous for him? Yep. Proud of him? Sure as hell I am! #lovethewhistle #retirementfund

Fantastic weekend at the @hujfc Football Tournament. Fantastically well behaved teams, didnt have one bit of grief. Great teams, great weekend, and rocking the lobster referee look. My body isn't thanking me though! Well done to all the organisers, volunteers and players!

Absolutely roasting day at the Lewes tournament today! The thunder and downpours did sod all to make it more comfortable. Good to meet refs I only usually see on Twitter though! Legs are now dead 🥱

Rice tackles. Gets a yellow. Commentator doesn't think so. "Yes it's dangerous, but he got the ball." More commentary genius from Channel 4 😂

Paid my £20 to register for the 23/24 season. Having now seen what many people appear to find acceptable in how to treat referees, can I have my money back please? You people don't deserve my time or to even watch the game.

Competitive game of battling football this morning between @hailshamtownfc U11 and Pevensey & Westham U11. Probably my last of the season in the @CDJFL1. Time for tournament season then prep for next! #LoveTheWhistle #TeamOne

Just about got that game finished. Pitch turned to rubbish. Great game of football in utterly rubbish weather. Well done @Bexhill_United u18 and Tonbridge Junior U18. Great banter. Now to head off and see if finals day has survived! @CDJFL1

Good end to a beautiful day on my first @TheSCFL season. @hailshamtownfc vs @SelseyFootballC and a proper hard fought battle. Well done to Selsey, and good luck to Hailsham with whatever comes next. I'm sure you'll bounce back.
