Well, I mean I don’t think the comments are very supportive. I haven’t had years of doing 7-5, then going 4 or anything and then doing a fitness test. I’ve just finished my first season. I didn’t know I could take the next step until after I told I’d been promoted, was given a date 3 weeks from...

It’s booked for a week on Saturday. I’m dreading it as I no I’m not ready. I thought there would be more than 3 weeks to train for it. But having spoken to a good ref friend about it, I’m just gonna go and give it my all. If it ends there then take learning points from it for going forward

I Said the same. Ive done a Season as ar on there so 🤷‍♂️

I was automatically put for it when I got 3w promotion. Spoke to rda, who’s advise was just go for it 👍

Good evening, I’m looking for some advice for an upcoming fitness test (3w-2w). In total there’s 3 weeks between being told I got 3w and the fitness test, which is a lot shorter time to prepare than I expected. I’ve got a tape measure and can measure the distance out properly,as well as the...

3w is middles in the WNL. 4w is AR on WNL but I’m not sure if you need to be on the promotion pathway to be considered. I’ve done 7-6/4w-3w this season, which is my first, and the MDC seemed madness compared to observations. If I new better at the beginning of the season I would’ve only picked...

Did you get this, as I’d like to see it too 👍

Applied for promotion mid season and games before didn’t count. If I new what a slog it would be idve stayed with 1 promotion pathway lol

Thank you 😊

Don’t look back and wonder what if? Just go for it. If it goes well then great and if it’s not for you, there’s no regrets 👍

Hi all, I did my last game of my first season last night and just wanted to talk about my first season reffing. This time last year I was 33, at least 2 stone heavier, out of control diabetic with high blood pressure. My fitness level was being proud if I got upstairs not out of breath. Did...

Thank you 👍

Hi all. On Sunday I had my first ever observation, which was as an AR on a WNL game. I received my report today and would like some help understanding the total please. I got 73 (out of I think 100, but not sure?). There’s no reference though as to what the score means. Is that good or bad...

I’m one of the probably few people who is only doing the female pathway currently

Hi all. Just looking for any hints or tips regarding an observation I’ve got coming up. I’m a new referee in my first season and am being observed on the women’s pathway, which means it’s an observation and not the match day coaching thing from men’s L7-6. I considered putting this in another...

Hi mate. I’m 33 and completed my fifth game tonight. 1 under 13s, the rest open age. I’ve also ran the line on 3 games. The pub/Sunday teams in my opinion are the worse. Moan for everything and anything. Want advantage when you give a foul and foul when you play advantage. Everything is...

Just an update: Was involved in 3 games in 4 days. Saturday I did an under 13s, Sunday an open age and Tuesday got to run the line for a Saturday league friendly. Enjoyed all 3 games to be honest. Had a few moans but nothing nearing abuse. The kids game I was more worried about parents and...

Exactly same happened to me mate

The course wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong. It’s what seems to be the lack of anything after. I want to push myself to progress as far and as much as possible and just felt I didn’t get any clear advice on how to progress personally or professionally. Having said all that, I have found this...

That would be great. Always get random questions pop into my head and would be nice to have someone to talk to 👌
