My understanding from the article is that the watch is a smart watch. The Premier League have then developed an app in partnership with TAG Heuer and the PGMOL which provides all of the functions the V800's were doing (distance, speed, time, etc.).

http://m.tagheuer.com/fr/actualites/tag-heuer-announces-premier-league-referee-app-for-the-tag-heuer-connected They're these. The article is in French but a quick Google Translate will sort that out!

The only games that I have footage of are ones which have been played at either Academies (Arsenal, Chelsea, etc.), or from highlight edits on club's YouTube accounts. It is a good tool to analyse the smaller details that you want to perfect in yourself and also see what assessors are seeing...

I have it, just uploading it to my Dropbox now. Will post a link on this comment once upload has been completed. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uir0x4bs95tllf1/PGMO%20Conference%202016%20Workshop%20-%20DOGSO.mp4?dl=0

If you know the referee was wrong, don't agree with them. It makes you look a fool. Try to say something neutral if possible, something like 'we have different angles'. You've not dropped the referee in it, and you haven't agreed with the manager. However, if the referee has made a massive...

If it's anything like the development groups I have been a part of (both FA and County), then you will probably have monthly meetings (usually on a Sunday). I can't imagine they will be too much different. Although, there may also be some extra meetings during the closed season to keep everyone...

Hi Jeff, If it's possible, I'd speak to either the manager when you get there or a local referee who is on the leagues that the teams are in. Ask them whether they would like to do a respect handshake or if it is standard practice for the league the teams play in. If it isn't usually expected...

Keep hopeful - there are still the replays to be appointed to! They'll be played on Tuesday 9th August and will be appointed by your county.

I'd start with informing your county RDO that you no longer wish to receive appointments for the 2016/17 season. You can then also ask them to re-classify you as a level 10 (inactive) official. If I were you, I'd still register though. You never know, in a years time you may want to come back...

This was only an advert for 'Centre Leaders', rather than for us to apply to. I believe as above, the RDO's just nominated candidates.

Hi all, I have seen a couple of posts on social media over the past couple of days regarding referees finding out that they have been either nominated to, or have been accepted onto the respective FA CORE programme for their level. Who recommends the referees for this? & does anyone know when...

I'm quite sure the ball wasn't on the exact blade of grass that the foul took place on. Ask them to move the ball a couple of yards and ask for a retake. Solves all the problems, keeps both the assessor and the player happy!

Don't quite understand this remark. You've asked for an opinion on a forum. When you received one you didn't like, you asked for another while degrading the first comment? As for the scenario you described, would the player have scored if the defender was taken out of the scene? If so, then it...

With the news released by UEFA this morning, it'd be foolish of me to vote for Atkinson to do it! http://goo.gl/Q3Emwg

Paul, if you order it from A&H, they will embroider the county badge onto the kit. The RA shop will also embroider the county badge onto the kit - although I'm unsure who is the cheaper of the two! When you pass the course, generally you will receive a county badge which you could sew on...

Correct - it's the easiest promotion you'll get! Generally you have to complete at least 20 games (18+ and over age) before you can apply for promotion. As long as you do adult football for this coming season, you should be fine. Speak to your RDO in January of 2017 and register you interest to...

The 2,600 metres is the minimum distance you must cover over the 12 minutes. However, you have to keep running for the entirety of the 12 minutes. Fortunately I passed mine today and finished at 3,000 metres, so couldn't have just stopped once crossing the line after 6.5 laps. There is no...

Craig, nothing for this year yet. Although, I've got the one from last year, which I have attached. I doubt the venues will change too much.

This is where flagging on the move comes into play. If you flag for a foul whilst still crabbing along the line, you give the referee the option to play an advantage. If he chooses to go for the foul, you can simply stop and indicate the direction.

It's how the flag system is used throughout all of the professional games in the UK. All televised Premier League games use the different flags - one quartered and one plain.
