Multi Caution Match Report Form
As many of you will be aware, referees who caution players during a game were in the past required to submit details of these cautions in duplicate on a standard misconduct report form.
A Multi Caution match report form has been adopted for the last two seasons, developed and approved by The Football Association, that permits all cautions from a fixture to be reported on one form.
Referees will only be required to complete one form and distribute just one copy to the appropriate association giving details of the fixture, details of the player cautioned and code for the offence that has been committed, (ie C1 to C7). There is now no longer the requirement to give details of the offence or details of words used in relation to dissent by word or action.
Referees are reminded that in using this form the following guidance needs to be taken into consideration:
1. This form is to be used for cautions only.
2. Players receiving two cautions in a game must be reported on the standard misconduct reporting form.
3. Players sent off or other reports of misconduct need to be reported individually on the standard misconduct report form.
4. A copy of the form needs to be sent to each County that is affected. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the referee to photocopy the form and send to each appropriate association. However, you are required to still include the details of all of the cautions on one form.
5. To assist associations in the administration of the misconduct, please include team details on the form. (i.e. 1st, reserves, U18, U17 etc).
Standard Misconduct Report Form Template
Use this form to report:
1. Players receiving two cautions in a game and therefore dismissed from the field of play.
2. Players sent off or other reports of misconduct need to be reported individually on the standard misconduct report form.
An electronic version of the Standard Misconduct report form has been created in Microsoft Excel and in pdf and is available by clicking the links above. This will enable the referee to complete the form electronically and submit to the appropriate association by email (see details on form). The referee must have Microsoft Excel installed in order for this form to work.
Again, this will enable the referee to complete the form electronically and submit to the appropriate association by email.
