Similar level of experience to Rebecca Welch and Sam Allison then who got games earlier in the seasonAnyone know why they are putting a League 1/2 ref on PL this weekend? He has 8 Championship appointments (7 this season) but is not in SG2. Interesting move.
I thought of this but both are SG2, and Rebecca Welch has experience at WSL, UWCL, Women's Euro, and FWWC level as an international referee so I would consider her slightly more experienced. I agree about Sam Allison though.Similar level of experience to Rebecca Welch and Sam Allison then who got games earlier in the season
I've not seen Rebecca Welsh but I have seen Sam Allison on two games this season at Leeds. Quality referee who communicates well with the players and has the respect of all involved. If Lewis Smith and/or Rebecca Welsh are at a similar level, they deserve the chances they get.Similar level of experience to Rebecca Welch and Sam Allison then who got games earlier in the season
Was certainly (significantly) more impressed by welch on their prem debuts, but she didn't do as well in her 2nd gameI've not seen Rebecca Welsh but I have seen Sam Allison on two games this season at Leeds.

It is to emulate the role of a full time official. The idea is to coach them up rather than have then observed throughout a season. They officiate at different levels and across pathways. Not all of them experience rapid escalation seen with the likes of those named above. At the end of the season, the coaches and management then decide where to reclassify them to, if at all.I think it’s to do with the ERDP, and he doesn’t as such ‘have a level’. Or that’s what I have been told.
Apparently they are ‘reclassifications’ rather than promotions.
I don’t know much about this, but this is what I’ve heard.
I agree she was less impressive second time around, but she did get the RC right imo in that game. I know a lot think she didn't.Was certainly (significantly) more impressed by welch on their prem debuts, but she didn't do as well in her 2nd game
