why would I be doing any Newcastle based games

God help if you're reffing any Newcastle youth club games.

I am looking to get through ref training to help out with the local club(s) at youth level. The local FA cover the cost and I have to have a DBS check. Not sure how frequently this will need to be done/renewed.

Probably every time there is a new Coote revelation ...

It was never a penalty I agree, but surely that's down to the match official, if we start issuing bans after the event, there's going to be a lot of players banned in the Prem.

Never heard of it either but personally think its a great idea, that is, if its implemented correctly but we all know it won't be.
To be fair to the FA it was cheating in my eyes, the ref should never of gave it, and we would have deservedly lost, but he's not the only player we've ever seen do that. Like you say, I don't mind if they are consistent. Don't think my lot on twitter are happy about it though, I'm just keeping stum.
Need to be much stronger punishments for 'simulation' and shirt tugging / holding IMHO ... need eradicating ...

I actually forgot there were other games this weekend. Ipswich Sheffield United should be decent.
Both massively underperformed so far, as much as I don't like the bloke but thought the Wilder sacking was a poor decision.
