The Ref Stop

Jarred Gillet Documentary.

The Ref Stop
Is this about "refereeing in the Premier League" or just a Jared Gillet doco in general?

Either aspects would be interesting, considering Jared's career path into the Premier League.
 
If anyone is trying to find this on catch-up it is Premier League Stories series 4 episode 11.
A bit disappointing that you can't hear what players are saying but I'm sure lip readers could have fun with it.

Very good short documentary. Have to say though, I think that camera would do my head in.

I’m sure you would get used to it, especially as the whole structure is virtually the same as the usual comms kit Referees use up to and including National League Prem and soon to include NL North & South.
 
What's happened to him? Not been seen since September.

Only done 6 games this season.
Now we're getting untried, upcoming referees doing games and VAR.
Nothing against the untried, upcoming, ones but normally this has been reserved for dead rubber games late in season, not mid season games.

I believe he is injured so is only doing VAR at the moment.

The elite referee development group will mean that promising referees aren't just doing dead rubber games. I watched Josh Smith on the Leicester vs West Ham game tonight and he was superb, and that definitely wasn't a dead rubber.

By the way he is progressing I am certain that Farai Hallam will get a Premier League game very soon, and I was down to observe him at L4 not that long ago. And that is the right thing to do, if they are good enough get them through the system faster.
 
And not the first time Josh Smith has done a PL game. He is a very good Referee. It also does look at this moment of time that Bobby Madley is not going to make it back to the PL - though he has been a 4O on a few occasions this season.

Being 4O on PL games suggests that he is likely on his way back to the PL. They don't often use SG2s and the ones they do use tend to be the ones that are on the way up.
Bobby Madley slightly different because he has done it so not sure he needs as much bedding in as a SG2 but suppose it makes all equal. Was he 4O twice at the weekend did I see?

If he was a younger Referee I would agree with you, but Keith Stroud was 4O on many occasions last season on the PL and never made it back.
 
Slightly different in that, according to reports, Stroud was interviewed for select Group 1 a couple of years back and was not promoted.
Bobby Madley is only 39 so I don't think age is a barrier. Seeing as his brother Andy is older.
I didnt say they never use SG2s, but it's not that often from what I see. Bobby is being used a bit, on the televised games too.

Wow, I never knew that Andy was older - he certainly doesn’t look it. If Bobby does make it back to PL it would be a long journey from when he left it, but at least he would have made it which I think must be a strong driver for him.

Yes that's correct. West Ham v Arsenal & Chelsea v Villa

That is the challenge of your hair falling out, it instantly adds years onto how old people think you are. I speak from experience 😂
