Very interesting indeed...Interesting email today about pathway choices from 2026/27. You can now select specialist referees, specialist AR or dual role
I think there may end up being some regional variability but I think that specialising, at least currently, doesn't lead to a change in the number of appointments.I was wondering, and would be great if anyone knew...
I don't hate running the line, I'd rather do it than be 4th official, and if I don't ever progress as a referee I'm in no hurry to shut down the option to progress as AR... but....
If I did specialise... would I get more middles at step3/4 by doing so? Or will it mean more 4th mans as above?
That would probably make my decision for me.
Good point and main reason why this has not happened before now. I can only imagine the FA are confident in appropriate numbers being reached/maintained.Very interesting indeed...
I wonder what it will do to availability of games - or assistants at step 3/4.
