https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/13131512/behind-the-whistle-listen-to-referee-audio-from-key-championship-decisions Really enjoyed listening to these clips. Always nice to hear what goes on in terms of comms and decision making from the Top Officials. Think Matt Donohue speaks...

I got my 7-6 last week. Took me a while to go for it but glad I did. Looking to go for my 5 next season and hopefully 5-4 after that. Coming up to the end of my 8th season refereeing - loving it more and more every game!

From what I gather, the CFA you are affiliated to wouldn't matter in this situation. You can dual-register if you wish, but not doing so wouldn't affect anything. My parent CFA is Manchester FA but I've done games with a Cheshire FA league for years, without being dual-registered. Hasn't made...

Depends which way I look at it from. From a refereeing perspective, I can't fault my RDO, or any of my Appointment Officers (Myself being one of them 🤣) as they have always been great with me, especially this season as I went for my 7-6. My perspective as a Management Committee member, for both...

Assuming the player had the heels of both feet on the touchline, then your interpretation is correct. Generally speaking, player's don't understand throw ins, as proven by the amount of rubbish "Foul Throw Ref' shouts you hear during the game. So there's a good chance player's don't realise...

If we're talking Manchester FA, then I completely agree - can't fault them in that regard. I'm glad to see that you're sticking with it and not letting that behaviour deter you from the thing that we all love. FWIW, having seen you referee personally, you're a top official. Keep going mate.

Clattenburg taking up that role never made sense to me, but considering he never seemed well liked at the PGMO I can see why Forest went for him. This is exactly what his job seemed to me - Give the manager ammunition for his interviews, and gives them a scapegoat when Clattenburg's views are...

Yes you can.

No I meant what was said by Degnann here, though he has clearly explained it much better than me 🤣

I noticed with mine that if I saved any matches to my watch so that I could 'sync' them to my phone later, then the statistics don't save. Whereas if I save them directly to my phone then I have no issues whatsoever. Refsix does have it's problems from time to time but they tend to be fixed...

I Check both keepers are ready (as well as Linos if I'm lucky enough to have them) then start Watch 1 and Watch 2, followed by blowing my whistle. Normally by the time we're 2/3 mins in i've checked multiple times that they are both running. On those occasion where you have a delay at kick off...

My Mentor (Not an official County FA Mentor - but a 30+ year experienced former level 4 who I've known since before I passed my course) pulled me up on my tolerance levels being too high earlier in the season, and in particular the knock-on effect for future referees. I've certainly made a...

This is the side of things I always struggle with. I have no issues identifying Cautions/Dismissals in any situation aside from the language. My First instinct here was firm talking to, then YC for Dissent and send to the Sin Bin, but I have a feeling most others will disagree. I may need to...
