Both posts were probably unnecessary here....

Well that I guess is even worse and creates an even larger flaw of a proposed assistants pathway from grassroots. Surely this FA Cup match would have been abandoned as the teams were not satisfied with the standard of the official? Games at every level with neutral assistants includes two ARs...

I think the current system is probably the best solution, having a AR pathway from 7 would be potentially disastrous. For example, the scenario where you are the Senior AR is the Blue Square South (No 4th Official). The referee goes down after two minutes. You are expected to enter the middle...

You can specialise as an assistant from Level 3!

Okay, maybe I didn't pick up on your sense of humour but neither did two others who both certainly surpassed their teenage years a while ago. Definitely not down to age! But I agree detecting humour on such posts can be challenging! I did not assume it was directed at me I merely pointed out it...

Was this your first attempt at the jump then?

@haywain I am very sorry if I have misinterpreted your words as serious rather than humour (like @Supermonkey implies) but unfortunately they don't come across that way. Age really is just a number and I felt you may have shown more maturity in your provocative response (especially after...

Thanks very much mate! Congratulations! Good luck for the new season!

Confirmation of my promotion to 4 has just come through

Haywain frankly that argument takes a valid point to such a ridiculous degree it becomes logically incoherent. Your second comment is also not only odd but potentially offensive to some colleagues.

A large amount of refereeing is trying to take preventative measures, giving a shout such as 'Don't pick it up keeper' or "Okay keeper' as described work in the same way as having a word with a player when they are one poor challenge away from a booking for persistent infringement. All you are...

Thanks guys, I can confirm I allowed play to go on and yes a goal was scored! Then the assessor comes up with this in his report! (Sorry for the CAPS, the assessor must have got a bit excited writing the report!) 'THE MAIN POINT OF THE MATCH HAPPENED IN THE 13th MIN WHEN AFTER AWARDING A FREE...

This is an incident from the start of the season that I have just remembered after reviewing some old assessments. I awarded a free kick to Team A just inside their own half. They tried to take the free-kick quickly (meaning I could ensure players were at the appropriate distance) attempting to...

Perhaps it may be worth updating the section on the profile surrounding each persons levels, it very much caters for the English referee, considering there are a number of users from abroad would it be worth contacting them and asking them how the system works in their country and adding them to...

Perhaps i could conveniently anaesthetise some managers as well just to top it all off!

It would be an easy mistake to make!!

Try balancing football and studying Medicine!! :( Nightmare!!

Green?!

I have taken advice on it and like you say it is a very controversial issue! Some are against it but some do encourage it! My decision to go for is based upon my assessments, conversations with colleagues and to an extent a bit of self-belief that I am ready for the step up (I too have seen 6-4...
