Thank you.I don’t think I had any reports for my 7-6 promotion but here is a 6-5 observation report. I’d imagine they’ll be fairly similar as it only changes when you go 5-4.
This is true.Always useful to be prepared but the promotion landscape could be very different for L7 & L6 referees next season. It’s a developing situation.
That said, the principles of good refereeing remain, the advice will be similar but the delivery and framework may differ.
Only this morning I was talking to @Russell Jones about County promotions... I referred to the more general idea of 7-to-5 being more akin to onward development rather that 'promotion' as such and how we ought to act as coaches for those who might be struggling with some aspect of progressionThis is true.
No more 7-6 and 6-5.
As I understand it, it'll L5c-b, followed by L5b-a.
Observers will all require new training, and instead will be known as "Match Day Coach & Developers" (or something very similar).
Not yet public knowledge but will be soon ...
