Just after a little information on what to expect at the in-service training events the FA hold at regional locations for the 5-4 promotion candidates?
In Service Training.
- Thread starter Ryan Woods
- Start date
Usually, it's a talk carried out by Neale Barry, outlining what the expectations of you are once you reach level 4 - how you should dress on arrival at games, ensuring administration is up to standard, closing dates on MOAS, etc. We then had Dan Meeson going through a couple of videos from supply and contributory league games, where we were asked to decide on the outcome of the clip (usually a red or yellow card). Once again, Dan then outlined the expectations of officiating at a higher level - if it's an orange card, they would expect you to go up to a red, rather than go down to a yellow, etc.
At some point during the night there was a LOTG exam, of only 10 questions which we had to complete - we weren't given the results on the night but were instead told that if we weren't contacted by our county FA telling us we had failed, then we should assume we had passed. That's pretty much all I can remember from it! Any other questions, let me know.

Brilliant info, thanks! Is the LOTG exam written or vote for joe?

Hopefully nothing to worry about then.......we were told dress as for a match day so i'm guessing shirt and tie
And a jacket, that's the contrib match day dress code.
Don't do what one referee did and turn up in his refereeing kit - they didn't mean that kind of attire when they said normal match day attire ..!

Wow, so went along last night and 25 out of the room failed! Hopefully I'm not one of those.......anyone know how soon they get back to you if you are a failure or a success?

Vote for joe format! Mixed variety but the usual questions on unlikely situations, some new laws included! 50% failed!

I attended a 5-4 meeting a couple of weeks back and i would say around 5 or 6 people turned up in tracksuits and 2 that i know of didn't turn up at all.
Hope they had closed the date....
And gave apologises. Simply not coming is the not way to impress Mr Barry.
