6-5 Promotion
- Thread starter MidlandAR
- Start date
Hi Craig, How diffrent was the Exam for 6-5 from 7-6
Hi Darren, it was the same format as 7-6 but alot more trick questions and the way they word the questions can cause you a problem if you do not read it 2/3 times.
1 question that got me though, during a penalty kick, the blue player back heels the ball to a team mate who scores, do you a) allow goal, b) disallow and award indirect free kick to red or c) order a retake.
Straight away I thought about the Henry penalty for Arsenal that went wrong, so ticked allow the goal. I was wrong.
They said 10 people got it wrong on the night and in 2006 they amended the laws of the game to say the ball must go forward on a penalty kick.
The correct answer though was B, disallow the goal and award an indirect free kick!

Thanks Craig, Not sure I would have got that one right either.. Good Luck with the promotion this year!!
Tips:
- Referee to law. This does not mean caution every foul but clearly distinguish between careless and reckless.
- Play advantage carefully. As a rule of thumb try to keep it to the final third of the field.
- All substitutions at half-way. Send the player back if needs be.
- Golden Rule: Do this on ALL games, not just assessments. This way it becomes natural and you are not changing the game to suit the assessor.

Thanks for this pal.
I do try and referee all games (even Sunday) like they are assessments (as much as Sunday league players do not appreciate it) and to the law. Going to be a new experience for me refereeing in the Midland Combination this coming season, I think having had a season on the line really helped my development.
In respect of advantage, I as a rule hardly ever play advantage in the defensive third because it is more hassle than its worth and yet on my 7-6 assessment one of my development points was for that reason, not playing advantage in the defensive third! I would have understood if they broke and had 3 against 2 or something but it was a nothing incident!
I have also started only using the whistle for fouls and misconduct etc and not to re start play (was advised by an assessor), would you agree with this going from 6-5?
Use it for free kicks, corners and the kick off. Goal kicks not so important, but again keep it the same all the way through. Most assessors will try and help but there is the odd pedant who will say "You forgot to blow the whistle to signal the corner in the xxth minute and the yyth minute".
You may not lose marks for those, but they add little and bring the overall tone of the report down from positive to negative.
One other tip - Self preservation works! I already covered advantage in the defending third, but free kicks around the penalty area on the whistle! This way you get marks for correct distance, position, using the dead ball time, and have the match firmly in control

That is interesting, I did not think you should use the whistle to signal a corner. I never have in fact.
What about goals? I use to whistle for goals but was told by an assessor not to.
O
I think you tend to see those 'on the telly' whistle when it is a debatable corner to communicate to the players what decision you are giving.

In fact they tend to whistle each and every corner at professional level which seems a bit excessive to me.
