FURTHER GUIDELINES • The referee should dismiss the player or use the sin bin for serious abuse of a match official. • Touch judges shall not place players “On Report” but should report any abuse to the referee at the next opportunity. eg Stoppage in play or where no advantage shall be lost to the non-offending side. • The On Report signal should be clearly indicated by the referee. • Club officials who are on the field of play (trainer, etc) or within the playing area (bench) can be placed on report. A penalty kick CANNOT be given in this case. • On report forms should be carried in Judiciary Book by all match officials. They will be distributed before the commencement of the season.
PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH THE “ON REPORT” PROCEDURES AND USE IT • IT IS THERE TO HELP YOU AS A REFEREE AND TOUCH JUDGE • REFEREE SMARTER NOT HARDER!
