Had anymore observations
@Big Cat ? How's the season going?
I've had an interesting experience of observation marks this season. First two games I had 72.4 and 72.2. First game 5 yellows and a red, including 1 major development point for not applying sin bin with an observer who everyone tells me marks low. Chuffed with my score as its my first ever l4 observation. 2nd game a local step 5 derby at the top end of the league. 4 yellows and a sin bin. 1 penalty given which was easy and I was right on the spot. Good game and I'm happy with my performance and score, no major developments. Last week 3rd v 1st in the step 5 league, big game. 2 yellows and a DOGSO pen + red (no attempt to challenge for the ball). Observer agreed with all KMDs. One major development for missing a player delaying the restart when he kicked the ball away in the 90th minute following a foul. I dont remember that but ive obviously missed it as the observer saw it and said he whacked it off the field of play so fair enough (i think ive turned away to check on a player whod gone down with cramp in the build up to the foul but had then got back up so missed it but im guessing really). We did the debrief and it felt like it went really well, it was all positive. Then I get the report and its a 71.6 so that's promotion probably gone. I'm genuinely not bothered about that as it's my first year as a 4 and I didn't even have a county league game (no league for 2 years due to covid) until last year so to go up again would just be to much too soon imo, and in reality I csnt do the travelling (but I'm competitive so still want to score well if possible).
I have found the standard of observations to be much better at level 4. The feedback genuinely useful and I've learnt from all 3 of them. Not a single point raised where I've disagreed to be honest both positive and negative.
