Thanks Brian. One of my fellow 5-4 candidates was putting in 72.5 or 74.5 into his calculations and I had to tell him these are always rounded up, so that's always useful for people to know. @Golden, please let us know how you get on...

You should be ok provided you can demonstrate the requisite experience, they can flex the referee experience criteria a bit if you can replace some of the games with assistant referee appointments instead. It's purely up to James and the promotion panel (which meets on 16th March) so argue your...

Don't they round up or down to the nearest whole number? I averaged 75.4 and just assumed it was a 75.

Most recently my time has been dominated by the worry of my 18yo son going through his Phase 1 Army training, and prior to that spending months acting as his personal trainer getting fitter and stronger. My main hobbies are just keeping fit, gym and strength work,with a bit of cricket in the...

100% agree @DanCohen17 , it's why I mentioned it as the OP stated there was no appeal. My first thought was "why give it then?". No one else picked up on it so I tried a softer approach...

@HoofItYouDonkey @Kes You guys should both get Physio asafp. Read my post on physio treatments, they are the only way forward as they will find the cause rather than just treat the symptom. It may be you have something wrong in your running gait or a muscle imbalance in your calf or thigh that...

It's funny, but when I've been AR to some senior referees, as part of the pre-match instructions they have always said that on penalty decisions there has to be an appeal first..... Discuss.

Sometimes it isn't loaded properly, so rather than selecting the specific division from the drop list, there is an option at the bottom of the list saying "all teams in the league". You should find it there. Unless they are a new team, you're either looking in the wrong place or haven't...

Hopefully not Essex. Got a last minute call pre-game telling me I was being assessed, all went ok and got the mark back already, and finished with an average of 75.4 from my 5 games. That's all of the criteria met, fingers crossed...

Quite the opposite Jack. Ignore MOTD pundits. The first foul was by the Southampton player on Kenedy, the assistant then flags for the kick out after this. Atkinson rightly indicates that as he would punish the first offence, which would result in a FK to Chelsea, he plays the advantage. He...

It's probably because they've managed to intimidate a young referee in the past that they've acted that way, so well done for standing up to it. Sometimes the only way to deal with it is to get one or two off if they just won't stop.

True, but as you say there are stricter demotion criteria which I've been told means that more L4s will be demoted based on E-E, D-E criteria. I understood the idea was to have greater "churn" in the system. Who knows, currently I'm going to be relying on club marks as I'm one short, which is...

This was one of the contributors to my assault a few weeks back. The players told me I had incorrectly penalised them which was one of the reasons why the player did what he did. He was frustrated when I stopped him scoring (he was clean through) when one of his teammates told me Foxtrot Oscar...

Good for you. Well done. I'm averaging 76 from 4 assessments, so 1 left. I have 2 fixtures this weekend, both with NARs so I am assuming/hoping that I get assessed on one of them, the deadline is Monday...
