So on the line tonight for a FA youth cup qualifying round, very happy with the appointment, didn't realise level 7's could get these games!
Not correct about the nomination, that is only for FA Vase, Trophy, Cup, etc. FA Youth games usually have "To be appointed by the xxxxxx County FA" and they select from their pool of Assistant Referees.Shout us all how it went please
It's an FA Appointment - however - your County will have nominated you to The FA to receive such appointments - well done
Harry, it's not about level 7, it's about under 25
i hope that you have a great game, are having a great game, even as we speak
Same here. The reason more young referees are being appointed is simply because there is more of them these days. For too long the average age of referees was rising so there was a huge bubble of "older" referees so as a consequence more were appointed. Some took this as an indication of "criteria" when the truth was that there was just more older referees, so more got appointed.Very untrue. I know level 7s in their 50s that have received FA Vase and Cup appointments this year.
