    Celtic - Hearts

    I didn’t see the end of the game but I saw the end of the first half. I do think Celtic’s penalty was correctly awarded, but it did look very much like a guess from the way it was awarded 😆 just my take!

    Seasonal 5-4

    There are still automatic promotions. 2-1 doesn't have assessment day this season. Nobody was promoted mid season and I'm led to believe that it will just be a selection of those performing highest. 4-3 and 3-2 still have automatic promotion spaces, but less than there would normally be...

    Seasonal 5-4

    Does this mean you're going again?

    NLS allocations out

    Is there any precedent for teams having successful appeals? If there is, I don't remember it. Crazy how far the NL North stretches down south, but that's nothing new and is clearly owing to how many Southern step 2 teams there are.

    Seasonal 5-4

    27th May / 28th may for L4s

    Seasonal 5-4

    I don't think anyone knows, even the FA, at the moment, but my best guess would be that it'll perhaps be on Friday 29th May, which is when the level 4-3 and 3-2 assessment days have been held and the FA can send a list out of everything in one go.

    Buzzer flags

    I'm gonna oppose this viewpoint. While I do acknowledge that the touchline flags are far better made than their competitors, I actually find it hard to press the button when I need to sometimes. (I'm aware that may make me sound weak as p*ss)

    Player Behaviour Initiatives

    I do agree about the signal. I haven't used captains only protocol as such. Because there's no way for people to know before the get to me, by which time I just then tell them to go away, as opposed to saying 'captains only'... it does the same job. But using a widely known signal before...

    Birmingham Vs Pompey

    1 player a piece was cautioned, presumably for AA as a leveller.

    Everton v Manchester City

    I don't think that's SFP. Yeah agree that the goal is correct to stand. Presumably a little bit of a misunderstanding between Burt and Oliver.

    PSG v Bayern

    Referee any good? I know him well and I think he's in with a shot at promotion to national list (which this appointment would probably back up)

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    Pool average I believe

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    Last season, my last game of the season shows a club mark of 78.0 and when you click on the form it says under additional information 'average mark entered by The FA'.

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    First time I've been referred to so politely in my refereeing career, but yes. Legal right to a subject access request does not mean you won't end up annoying someone who may have a say in your progression. 😆

    When can i apply for my level 7-6 promotion?

    I believe Leicestershire are currently without an RDO, so that might cause you a couple of issues short term, but if you send the email and if you don't hear anything, follow it up in a few weeks, then hopefully you'll hear back

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    I would advise that if the FA did go this way, someone who wanted to progress might be well advised not to make a SAR, mind 😆

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    Whilst I understand the point you're making, I also think the club marking range is far too wild for it to bear any meaningful weight in promotion/reclassification decisions. There are clubs I go to where I know no matter what happens, I'm pretty much guaranteed 80 as a minimum, and others I go...

    Level 3/4 Pathway Choice

    I was wondering, and would be great if anyone knew... I don't hate running the line, I'd rather do it than be 4th official, and if I don't ever progress as a referee I'm in no hurry to shut down the option to progress as AR... but.... If I did specialise... would I get more middles at step3/4...

    Man City v Arsenal

    I don't necessarily dispute the first half, but it's not striking. Contact was made mutually, before Gabriel pushed his head forwards.

    Brentford vs Fulham - Hair Pulling

    I don't understand why this is happening so much currently. I think Bassey's reaction (or lack thereof) probably saved the need for VAR to further scrutinise it.
