4th observation for me on Saturday. Went OK I think. Observer picked me up on having a bent arm when giving IDFK which was a good point as I did it in the mirror after debrief and he was absolutely right and I had no idea. Played an advantage for a goal which was missed by the observer which I thought I'd been loud on and held the signal for a while but that's a lesson for me to be even louder and hold it like Mike Dean Also told my dissent tolerance is too high which could well be correct but it was a very tight game and I never felt that I was receiving much dissent. Perhaps one that others may give a sin bin during an observation but not sure I've seen a ref at level 4 give a sin bin for low level stuff? In fact I haven't seen a sin bin given at step 5 to 6 this year on the 10 games I've done. It's all a learning curve.
Good points were dealing with and recognising misconduct (5 yellows), communicating with players, positioning and fitness.
Overall I think it will be 70ish which I'm happy with considering the marks were good from my first 3. One more to go.
Hope anyone else who got observed had a good weekend.
