    Tactical Injury Breaks

    Has the 30s had any effect in the PL and EFL? I don't watch enough these days to make a decent assessment.

    Level 4 to Level 3 Promotion / Assessment Days

    It's 15 for auto. To qualify for assessment it's 10. Might be less obs but you still have to have done enough games to be invited. The 15 for auto is 3-2. Here is the guidance for 4-3: "To be considered for automatic promotion or invitation to the assessment process referees should have...

    Level 4 to Level 3 Promotion / Assessment Days

    Believe it is min of 10 games and 4 observations. It is in the promotion criteria that's issued at start of season. Correct. I know of refs who've been invited and zero wiggle room. Fail the test and you are out Those auto promoted aren't tested until the closed season. I expect this to...

    Tottenham vs Arsenal

    Comms have been updated to better ones for this season. Last seasons I think had been stored in a cupboard for a short while prior to their distribution to clubs.

    Penalty Kick Question

    It's a bit of anomaly to this principle because with feinting it always happens before the ball is in play.

    Memory and Awareness

    Yea well, I once did this and it didn't work. Had an observer too. Thankfully someone else put themselves forward and even more thankfully the observer also didn't realise this has happened.

    Memory and Awareness

    The trick is to not wait for something to happen but to constantly "commentate" I try to catch both players (potential offender and victim) in case it results in afters. It helps with anticipating what's next too.

    Tottenham v Man City

    Did he play advantage? Assuming he did if he went back to it and so this would be correct as spa + advantage = no sanction.

    Open Age Spectator issues

    Abandonment is extreme but ultimately is the final nuclear weapon of choice. Only those named as players, or substitutes, should be on the field of play and with permission drs, physios and or stretcher bearers. Given you have no powers beyond that, you can't even sanction the manager as they...

    Tottenham v Man City

    Not sure I go along with this. An "off the ball" could still be as a result of showing a lack of attention or acting without precaution. And that could interfere with or stop a promising attack but does not automatically become reckless.
