He chief assessor has as good as confirmed in email I've not made it - but going to chat with him v soon. But this is my 5th and final assessment
Referee Assessment & Development Form
Referee Assessment & Development Form
1. Application of Law:
Overall I thought you applied the laws of the game pretty well throughout its extended length, with the extra time. Of course all was going very well until the 65th minute, when the general quiet decorum of the game was ‘rudely’ interrupted with and unexplained and ‘out of the blue’ incident of violent conduct! In fact I had no notes to make during the first half, as both teams were playing quite good football and there were no major incidents. You did miss a fairly lengthy flag wave by the Blue assistant, in the 53rd minute when he was trying to attract your attention. As to the sending of offence, for violent conduct, of the Red No 7 in the 65th minute; I certainly didn’t see where it started and why and although some Red players tried to point out their version, I think it was just a cover for their player. For whatever reason, he chose to not only get the Blue No 2 (I only discovered who it was in the aftermath) round the neck but grapple him to the ground. Anyway, you dealt with the incident as well as you could at the time. I think you probably should have taken some action, with one or two of the red players, who were to my mind ‘abusing’ you verbally, when you awarded a penalty to Blue (which they missed) in the 78th minute.
2. Match Control:
Did you have overall match control? Yes I would say you did, in a game that up until the sending off incident, was pretty well tempered and played in the right spirit. I did think that you did ‘lose’ control for around ten minutes, after the sending off incident, but then things calmed down and the game was seen out in a reasonable spirit.
3. Positioning, Fitness and Work rate:
I was pleased to at last come across a referee who did seem to know where to position themselves for set pieces, especially goal kicks; so, well done for that! I was quite impressed with your variation of positioning at corners, especially when Red were taking them in the first half, as one of their players had quite a vicious in-swing, which took the ball very near to the goal. Just remember, if you do find yourself being positioned near to the goal line for corners, that you may have to sprint out fast if the ball gets cleared. I thought that your fitness and work rate were good for this game and I think you’d be ok for games the next level up.
4. Alertness and Awareness, including management of stoppages:
You handled the stoppages, especially this ‘annoying’ feature of ‘rolling’ substitutes well, despite its obvious disruption to the game. You did at least make sure they all went off and came on in the same place around the centre line. You appeared to be pretty alert to most of what was going on. I have addressed the sending off incident and to be honest have absolved you from any likely blame as to why any Blue player wasn’t also dealt with. You will have to be more alert to assistants waving flags. There were virtually no injuries so I have no reason to comment other than to advise you to make sure that even at this level of football, injured players, who have received treatment, need to go off the field of play, before resuming playing.
5. Communication:
Overall I thought your communication with the players was good, you gave clear hand signals and certainly in the first half, you were communicating well with the assistants. Your whistle was good and appeared to vary depending on the situation in hand. When you had the sending off incident, I think that quite possibly, you could have used your whistle a little more forcibly to try to get the players attention more. Just remember that when players confront each other, we as officials should stand back a little and observe what is going on, in case there is a need to pin-point any other miscreant(s).
6. Teamwork:
As I indicated above, your communication with the two club assistants was good in the first half, thumbs up etc. I did feel that you let that lapse a little in the second half though. At one stage, prior to the sending off incident, in the 53rd minute, the Blue assistant was waving his flag quite a bit to attract your attention, to the Red No 10, who even from my opposite side of the field of play could see he was giving the assistant some ‘stick’. In fact it was the second time that had happened, although he did put his flag down fairly quickly for the first occasion.
7. Advantage:
There were very few occasions that play developed for you to really use the advantage law. I think you did in the second half, which was good. Just a reminder, when you play it, you can bring it back and if you do play it, raise your arms out in front of you and shout: ‘play on advantage’ so that as many players can hear.
