Referee required for Sutton United charity match on Friday 12th May

I am currently looking for a referee for a charity match taking place at Gander Green Lane on Friday 12th May (k.o. 7.30pm)

As this is a fund raising game and is part of our agreement with SUFC to supply match officials for such games in return for the use of their facilities there is no fee for the game but I am sure that club will look after you after the game hospitality wise

The game would ideally suit a level 4 or 5 referee (possibly a 6)

Any body interested in helping out please do drop me a line


Many thanks and kindest regards,


Barrie Gale
Sutton United Liaison Officer

6-A-Side

I have finally heard back from the organiser and the SCRA 6-a-side will be on Sunday 4th June at Mole Valley Predators ground near Leatherhead.

I appreciate that this is very short notice, but with the interest shown I do not want to miss the opportunity of entering a team for the event if at all possible.

Remember it's a day of FUN!

Could I please ask you to get back to me by ASAP with an answer on whether you are willing to play for YOUR society.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Wiley named as Cup final referee

Alan WileyThe Football Association has announced Alan Wiley will replace Wirral official Mike Dean as referee for the FA Cup final between Liverpool and West Ham.

In a statement, the FA said it had "complete faith in Dean's refereeing ability, integrity and impartiality.

"However, given the huge interest in all aspects of the FA Cup final, the fact that he is from the Wirral might lead to comment and debate."

Staffordshire official Wiley, 45, took charge of February's Carling Cup final.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has outlined his ambitions in the game.

The 21-year-old has high aspirations and wants to add to the FA Cup and Carling Cup winners' medals in his trophy cabinet.

With the World Cup finals on the horizon, the United winger wants to win the prestigious competition after going so close when losing out with Portugal in the final of Euro 2004.

"I don't play football just because I like it," he told Sky Sports. "I play because I've got an ambition to always win and be the best - to win every trophy and competition I'm part of.

"I'll be happy when I win the Champions League, the World Cup and the European Championship. This is every footballer's ambition.

"To finish my career and be able to say I did a good job overall, and say I was handsomely rewarded for it. That's it."

The 21-year-old feels he has already achieved a lot in a short space of time and has mixed feelings about dealing with the pressures of fame.

"It was a very special feeling," he said of his international bow against Kazakhstan. "I was only 18 but had made my debut with the national squad, alongside some players I really admired and it's a moment you never forget.

"I also think it was very good to gamble on bringing in Mr [Luiz Felipe] Scolari as Portugal coach, and it's obvious I'm very happy with it.

"Having had my debut at 18 years old, for all the success I've had already, I hope to continue playing at the highest level.

"I have mixed feelings about all the attention. There was once a time when it was good to be unknown. When nobody knew who I was, I always used to say to myself and my mates when am I going to be famous?

"When are people going to start asking for my autograph? Now people do know who I am, I ask why I became so famous.

"But it's very gratifying and important. It means people like my work and admire me as a player and a person so it's obvious there are good and bad things but I'm a footballer and I'm prepared for it."
