i thought I was average and that my fitness wasn't where it needed to be.
first of all I would like to congratulate you on a very impressive and polished performance. Your performance overall was consistent and you are clearly a competent referee for your level.
Your application of law was consistent throughout the 90 minutes. You applied the laws of the game correctly at all times. This was shown with your ability to distinguish between fair, careless and reckless tackles. This was demonstrated on the 42nd minute when you issued the home no.7 for a foul tackle and on the 91stminute when in issued another caution for a foul tackle for the away no.4. I was impressed that on both occasions you played advantages which resulted in chances on goal and then when the ball next went out of play you then issued the cautions. The only other caution in the game was issued to the away no.7 for dissent. It was encouraging to see that you initially had a word with the player about his protests to your decisions and then when he crossed the line again you issued the caution, an appropriate use of the stepped approach which I believe shown the players that you were happy to talk to the players but also fully in control. A piece of advice I want to give you which could polish your performance is to make sure when you issue a caution, just make sure you isolate the player who you are giving a caution to, when you issued the caution for the home 7 there were two other players around which could confuse people. A piece of advice I would like to offer would be that on an occasion I noticed that you went to blow your whistle to award a foul but didn’t as the challenge was borderline, just to protect you from protests, try to either not move your arm with the whistle or if you are instinctively going to blow for a foul, do not over think and blow the whistle, however I do appreciate that on this occasion the play was around the half way line and you wasn’t challenged, I would like you to take this advice in situations closer to the penalty areas.
Your match control was established throughout and when a player over stepped your tolerance level you issued a caution as I previously said, after you issued the caution you was challenged very rarely which was a credit to your performance. You looked confident when giving decisions and you showed a number of different techniques when giving decisions such as your whistle tone, arm gestures and talking to the players. You showed a proactive nature to your assistant referee’s, first of all you briefed both assistants together with the captains present and when assistants were changed for substitution you then briefed the new assistants which can only assist your match control. On a few occasions the assistant raised their flag for an offside and you gave them a thumbs up as the ball ran through to the keeper, on these occasions your assistants knew exactly what you was doing and the regained the correct position.
Your fitness and positioning was a contributing factor towards your credibility. You were never caught out of position and you consistently adopted good angles in play. It was good to see that during set pieces you would take up a good position with all of the players in view and then you would move with the ball to ensure you was in a good position.
Your management of the game was established early in the game and you carried it throughout. The game ended 7-0 and these sort of score lines can leave players frustrated and angry, but your proactive nature and overall control ensured that the game was kept very much in your control. It was good to see you being proactive when goals were scored you would make sure you was in areas that would ensure you had a good view of players if any incident could potentially occur from celebrations. Your alert and awareness was of a high standard throughout which was shown on a number of occasions where you played advantages which to your credit advantages in both teams attacking half resulted in either good chances on goal or goals being scored. You only played advantages in the defensive half if it was for an offside and the goal keeper was clearly going to gain possession without any threat from the opposition.

Additional Comments:
Your performance was solid and well polished. I think to your credit if someone was not to know that you are a level 6 referee they would judge you to be a level 5 referee. I am sure that after this promotion season you will go for the level 5-4 promotion and be a credible candidate. You should be pleased with your performance and continue to progress.
