Hi Ross. To be honest, and I suspect this may find disgust among many, football has never really interested me. My son started playing a few years ago and last season I got involved in some fitness training for his old club. Then one match, the coach asked if I would be able to ref as there wasn't one and the league did not demand qualified refs at that level. I thoroughly enjoyed the match, got on with reading the LOTG and, after being asked by my son's current club to assist in their low level league match, caught the bug. I have enjoyed doing it and would like to ref beyond seven-a-side under 11s. It seemed a natural progression to go for qualification.
I am sure as I go on I will have loads of questions. I will certainly be asking them.
