I've heard from a reliable source that the promotion announcements will certainly be out within the next year. So, not too much longer to wait! :rolleyes:

My guess would be he 'didn't hear it properly - or couldn't identify the player' shouting the verbals. As such, nothing would've been done and kick-off would've been taken as normal? EDIT: I meant that was the referee's excuse for not sanctioning it, not that he genuinely didn't hear it.

Neither have I mate, the talk of the town (well in this part anyway) is that they'll come out around 4 o'clock either today or tomorrow!

Some counties allow for referees to do the 'double jump' (London being one of them). Basically it means that in one marking season (March 1st - February 28th), referees have the ability to complete 2 (or 3) promotions in one go. To go from 7-5, a referee will have to complete 40 matches within...

Hi Jason, hope you're well. Thank you, congratulations on being nominated to 4 too - hopefully the wait won't be too much longer!

Brian, are the promotions emailed out or sent via snail mail?

Go for it, generally they're good fun! A good chance to give your teachers a dressing down after all the years they've done it to you! As an aside, referee the occasion. If the players are taking it seriously and tackles are flying in, treat it like a usual game, using cards as necessary. If...

Ben, speak to your teacher who will be assessing you. Some users on the forum will insist full laws apply, which I agree with to a point. However, remember that the students, parents and teachers are not expecting you to caution everything which would be a caution in an open age game. Talk to...

Ben, as far as I know there isn't. If you contact either Andy or Adrian at the office, they'll provide you with the relevant details. If you have a 'Capital Referee' to hand, the contact details are all on the back page.

As far as I am aware, there are not currently any fitness requirements for you to pass the course. However, if you wish to seek promotion to level 4 (in the future), your fitness will be assessed as part of this process. Don't let this deter you though! The fitter you are, the easier...

I've had that same problem. I got bored of trying, submitted the reports and downloaded the PDF, which fortunately had the text within it. If this doesn't happen, just give your RDO a ring and they'll probably ask you to email the report to them.

As far as I am aware, 73 is the cut-off and it is strictly enforced. With the high number of competition for a small number of places this year, I presume it'll be strictly enforced. Potentially it could become a problem if they allow you through with 72.8, why shouldn't they allow someone with...

Because Kevin Friend has seen it and taken action. If he hadn't seen it, the FA would take a look at it and ask for his opinion if he had seen it.

I personally think it is a positive. Firstly, you may have an assessor come and watch you 5 times a season, providing you with a mark on 5 occasions. If you officiate 50 matches a season, only 10% of your games have been marked - you may have had an outstanding game or contrastingly a shocking...

All in the competition rules. Generally if you haven't arrived at the ground and it is called off, you won't be paid at all. If you have arrived then you may be paid expenses or an 'inspection fee'.

Generally you won't find out. If you contact your county FA, they may tell you, but equally, they may not. I don't think we have any entitlement to find out the outcome of a misconduct report or whatever else.

After the incredibly helpful comment from Padfoot, I'm not sure if there is too much more I can really add. :hmmm: Remember that dissent is basically anything which disagrees with a decision you have made. However, do take into account how the comments are said and whether any expletives have...

Jack, try to use journal searches to find scientific research. Something like Google Scholar, or PubMed. Some you will have to pay for - but there will be a number of good quality journals which are also free. It will allow you to read into the topic a little more and draw your own conclusions...

I remember reading/hearing somewhere that they originally did start on the opposition side to the assistant. However, the referees requested them to be moved to the other side due to the position affecting their diagonal run when they got close to the penalty area.

Some counties will allow it. However, generally they want you to sign up for it at the start of the promotion year. I've no idea which counties allow it, so it may be worth giving your RDO a call to see if your county offers it - if it would be something you'd be interested in. However, your...
