Currently Ibiza, which is obviously limiting, but that's not set in stone.

Probably a long shot here - but I'm considering a career change, and a move away from the UK. How easy would it be to transfer as a L4 into the Spanish refereeing system? Has anyone got any experience of this? Or the Spanish FA itself? I'm not even sure where to start on this, or whether...

Brilliant socials... no response to my support request in 10 days. Including a chasing email 4 days ago.

I make the matches on my phone, and then upload teamsheets etc before sending to watch. Is that what you mean?

I had my first PK shootout in 5 years on Tuesday. I had read this thread earlier in the day, what are the chances!

I have absolutely no idea why it goes wrong for me constantly. I change nothing between matches, I upload the games push them to the watch, then when I finish the match I push finished matches back to my phone. It just does not seem to work well with the Garmin app it seems. Out of 24 matches...

I am an avid RefSix user, and have been subscribed for the past 2 seasons. I'm now experiencing constant issues with the data being transferred from watch - phone - strava Is anyone else having similar issues?

Out of interest what was your average? I finished 71/836 with 73.375 so wondering how much it differs in the placings.

Would it be possible to retain being an L4 referee, but be promoted as an assistant? Or would I have to go specialist? I quite enjoy being an AR but would like to continue middles as well. I finished 49/1022 for 2023 annual which doesn't feel too far off with a bit of tidying

To be quite honest the standard of some promoted from 5 - 4 is way below what it should be. As a 4 we have to run step 3 lines, so why are 5-4 candidates not assessed on being an AR as well?

Frustrating one for me last week.. Home team won 3-0. Including a goal which I played a great (if I say so myself) advantage on. Even had a couple of players saying that it was a great advantage, felt good for them to have noticed it. No controversy in the whole game. Away club - 80. Home...

Has anyone ordered a "new" set of touchlines and got any feedback on them? Are they the same quality etc?

Better late than never I suppose 😁

This is an extract from a message the CCFL level 4s received. Merit Table: Given new marking criteria may produce different marks from 22-23 to 23-24, the FA will run two merit tables to weight that and equalise it. This won’t show on MOAS, but from experience at higher levels, the MOAS...

CCFL as well! I haven’t heard of any marks this year yet so wondered what the new ‘system’ would result in
