But surely the 4th man in the final is judged to have been in the second best trio of the tournament?

Are you not rewarding for 4th on the Final?

Players also might struggle to take you seriously!

I just can't wait til one of them loses signal if the game! What would it be then? "Sorry guys had to blow up, we'll take a drop ball here...need to press redial on my phone!"

Lads, whilst it's a nice idea the need for comms is a hell of a long way off for us all!

You are in a privileged position then lincs! I think you'll agree though that most assessors do not have this in common with you!

No this is not the case, I know assessors at Contrib and Supply league level that havent. In fact I believe @Brian Hamilton has only ever been a 5 (I may be mistaken!), not sure about @lincs22! Not a criticism guys as I'm sure you both do a great job, just playing devils advocate! However I do...

I am definitely keen to get the qualification @Owen Webster with the certain intention of helping the younger lads when I can (mid-week games would certainly allow me to do this). There are a couple of others (aged early 20s) who already have it! Without offending some assessors on here such...

I'm pretty sure you can get on PAYG plans where you get free calls to three or four numbers! Vodafone family I believe was such a plan! You could also set up a group call on some phones

I trust you would ask Michael Oliver, Bobby Madley and Craig Pawson the same thing? Anyway this thread is not about my ability on the pitch. Personally I don't feel I need to prove that to anyone. My stats speak for themselves, I have outperformed referees with far more experience than myself...

An older ref will have just as many assessments as a young ref if they choose to apply for promotion. The only difference is younger referees are more actively encouraged to apply. You also have to consider the shortage of assessors so the RDO has to prioritise promotion candidates which does...

Thanks very much for your replies guys! All opinions are appreciated (no matter how drastic or controversial they are! :P ) Yes, @Padfoot you may have a slightly erratic way with words but I do get your point. For someone at your age refereeing takes on a different meaning, it is much more...

Without crushing your idea completely, all these existing companies are "Designed and made by refs, for refs" companies. Nike work with the PGMOL, A&H is owned by a referee from the London FA and this refstore guy is a Level 4 from the sounds of it! Also at the miinute the market seems to be...

£40?? Where did you get them from? Thought they were nearer £400?

Which ones? What made you get them? Big purchase when you've just started out?! Not having a go though....your money haha!!

Do you have buzzers?

I'm still really enjoying the offering of Go Daddy, its a great little site! ;)

I think it definitely could be a case of perhaps only assessing those who are newly qualified, from my experience some of the more experienced officials can sometimes become less receptive to criticism even from the most seasoned assessor in the later stages of their career!

Thanks for the reply. It would only be on Sundays/Mid-week when I don't have a game myself or of course if I was injured!

This summer I will be taking an assessors course to not only help my development but hopefully to give something back as well. i initially thought I would just plan to assess younger referees (probably u21) at levels 6, 7 and 8 when I was free...however the more I've thought about it I am...
