Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Touchjudges do more than call touch or do conversions, it doesnt seem like it because everything else is done via radio communication now.
Offside is a team call, the touchjudge will tell the referee via the radio that player x is offside, it is then the referees decison whether to penalise or have a word on the run, its the same with forward passes and knock ons, the tj will call it to the ref through the radio but the referee might think from his angle that the play was ok and over rule him. Done that myself as an official and was proved right on tape.
On National League games and below (if radios aren't available / working), the TJ only signals an infringment (forward pass, knock on) if the referee gives him eye contact. The only time the flag is used nowadays is for touch / goal and foul play calls (and part of the signal for forward pass)
99 times out of a hundred when a fan calls "gerremonside" its about a player who isnt involved with play so therefore isnt offside, they are only offside if they interfere. It annoys me when I / or any other official try to get a player back and all we hear is "PUT YOUR FLAG UP THEN" I know where I'd like to shove it one day, but the feelings more than mutual  icon_lol.gif" alt="icon_lol.gif" title="Laughing" /> |

Quote ="ladyref"No you don't, we have lots of young refs who don't drive and use public transport to get to matches. Not driving is no ">excuse.'"
Really? I got the impression you had to cover quite an area, with the divisions often being across a region? My mates a soccer ref and he has to go all over the place at amateur level.
If you're allowed to stay in your own town I'd find that a lot easier, i'll drop you a PM
