       Very much so - yes!!
       Also, the 30 seconds before coming back on is an EFL directive
       not law, so also not applicable here......

       Thanks, Sir, for the confirmation that the 30 seconds
       requirement does not apply at lower levels.
       The first part of your reply, however,  requires clarification -
       my fault for asking two contradictory questions. I take it that
       the "yes" refers to forgetfulness rather than the unaccustomed
       use of spray.

       On the bus on the way to the match, brief thoughts of barbarous
       practices in Berkshire were quickly dispelled when a second
       glance revealed the second e in Earley Burial Ground. From the
       stop it was a short and easy stroll to the sports ground, where
       three pleasant welcomes were offered. Food in the clubhouse was
       cooked to order, with pagers to inform customers when their
       order was ready. This allowed time for JCFC to intrude on the
       quartet perched around a table. Mr Topp, smartly dressed in the
       pre-covid manner, denied being related to Jake, if "Who's Jake?"
       constitutes a denial. Mr Tingey is apparently the son of former
       official Mike, who may or may not have been the fourth member of
       the quartet. And so to
       Sunday 6th August 2023
       FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round
       Wokingham and Emmbrook   1   v   0   Cinderford Town
       Marcus Tingey (Lacey Green); Matt Topp, Tom Benton.
       The home side, not content with Brighouse orange, or even
       Blackpool tangerine, opted for satsuma, hence their nickname of
       Sumas. Mr Tingey looked older than he had done at close quarters
       and wore an earnest, almost severe, expression, and appeared
       confident in his decisions. On 14 minutes a home attacker was
       held outside the box, the yellow card was quickly drawn, but
       various players wanted to have their say. It would be a good
       idea for "go away" gestures  to be made with the other hand, but
       Mr Tingey managed to isolate the Cinderford offender and
       administer the card. He dealt nicely with a foul by the visiting
       number 8, the free-kick leading to a move which produced the
       Sumas' goal. They had a couple more very good chances, but were
       unable to add to their score. In added time before the interval
       the home number 3 saw yellow for taking down an opponent in full
       flow. The time added was four and a half minutes, which seemed
       more than expected.
       With a jog back to the changing rooms in the cricket pavilion,
       the interval stretched to twenty minutes, understandably
       perhaps. The 46th minute was notable, as Mr Tingey exchanged
       friendly words with a home player, and for the first time was
       seen to smile. Cinderford looked for an equaliser, but there
       were to be no further goals. Four more yellows were briskly
       shown, three to Cinderford, one to the home number 6, presumably
       for speaking out of turn. The added 7 minutes seemed reasonable.
       Mr Tingey's one problem stemmed from the ongoing desire of
       players to occupy the same square centimetre at set pieces,
       leading to excessive mutual barging and grappling. Like his more
       senior colleagues, Mr Tingey would offer a warning and then
       leave them to get on with things - which did not produce any
       further difficulties. Otherwise he was crisp in his decisions
       and controlled the game firmly and well. He was promoted to
       Level 4 two or three years ago and in his LinkedIn profile
       declares his hope to make further progress on the referee
       pathway. If this was a typical performance, that hope should
       soon be realised.

       As I've already stated, the directive is also very active in the
       National League. It would be nice to know how far down the
       pyramid it goes.
       There was certainly no evidence of it in a couple of Step 5
       matches I watched the previous week. It now appears not to be
       operative in the early FA Cup rounds. At what round will it come
       in, if at all?
       I wasn't aware that Leagues could unilaterally change the
       guidance to referees. For example could our Sunday League insist
       that referees observe the 6 second law re goalkeeper possession
       ?

       Magic stray were only given to Step 1 & above Referees.  All
       other Referees would have bought it and use it for their "good

       Law of the game is applied throughout unless otherwise (e.g. no
       VAR at lower level so the law doesn't applied).  As for
       directives, yes only apply them when directed to per specific
       league/cup match (e.g. Step 5 & 6 have sin bin but when playing
       in the FA Cup, you cannot apply sin-bin even if both teams were
       Step 5 & 6.

       There has been far too much straying from accurate decision
       making in recent years. Whether by dint of magic or not I

       Nothing to do with erroneous decisions, but one had better not
       stray at Wokingham and Emmbrook: parts of the ground are taped
       off and have warnings "Beware of snakes in this area."

       A former Football League referee, whose identity I could not
       possibly divulge, was nicknamed The Snake by some of his
       colleagues. I doubt he has come back to officiate at Wokingham
       and Emmbrook though !
