    Promotion dos and don'ts

    One of my colleagues was marked down on a Sunday game for not re-checking his nets before kick-off. He did his inspection, then as you can imagine on a Sunday morning all the players warm up by kicking balls at the keeper. His observer advised him he should re-check in case the nets came loose.

    Promotion dos and don'ts

    It depends on your observer. Some will pick you up on it and mark you down, others won't mark you down but will mention it. They appreciate it is Sunday morning football and rare that everyone has the same shorts/socks and the priority is for a game of football to go ahead. As a rule, I would...

    L6-5 PROMOTION

    There were a few in our CFA who were denied promotion purely on admin. The reasons being either failure to submit their log of claims or failure to inform the RDO of their fixtures (or being selective of the fixtures they disclosed). At the end of the day the criteria isn't difficult, if you...

    Promotion 18/19

    Not ideal @zarathustra and gutting. The only potential saving grace is that this season is almost at a close. It will mean you have more to do come September and potentially doing both Saturday's and Sunday's if needed in September/October time. I know our RDO is pretty reasonable so if you fall...

    Promotion assessments 7-6

    What they are probably wanting is for you to be more vocal with "hands down" etc when goal kicks are taken, loud when you play advantage so it is clear to all, especially those that cannot see your arms that you have acknowledged the foul and are playing on. Little niggles, comments like, "watch...

    Promotion 18/19

    6-5 for me this season. Were you at the promotion evening zarathustra given that we are in the same CFA? I was due to have observations on my first 3-games of the new promotion season, 2-games in and both postponed. Not going overly well so far!

    Promotion 17/18

    I've had my promotion to 6 confirmed. Now to start the journey to 5, been assigned observations for the next 3-weekends, although this weekend is doubtful.

    Cold!

    My game is off this weekend, but that's because the traveller community has moved onto the field.

    Body Language and Communication

    Excellent advice here as always. The biggest thing is being confident in what you do. A lot of it will come with experience. There is nothing wrong with taking a moment before issuing a caution/red card (just don’t leave it too long) to make sure you are giving the right decision. It can also...

    Promotion dos and don'ts

    1. Administration, ensure you keep on top of it. 2. Treat every game the same, don't change the way you officiate just because you have an observer present. 3. Strong, confident whistle and signals. 4. Take on board all feedback, even if you don't agree. 5. Enjoy it.

    First Year Open Age Promotion?

    Absolutely no harm in applying. It shouldn't be a question of am I capable of it? It should be more looked at, what can I learn from it? If you are successful then you are promoted, but regardless, you will learn a lot.

    0-0 Draws

    First three games this season were all 0-0 draws. In one of those there were no shots on target.

    2x standard 1 x above 1 x below 6-5

    You could do, there is plenty of time left. I have my 5th observation pencilled in for this weekend. All others have been SE or AS. Apparently, my observer last week said that they had got through all the minimum of 3 per promotion candidate so early on they were giving everyone as many as they...

    3rd 6-5 assessment done

    I cannot vouch for your CFA but we received an email early January informing us that if we wanted to apply for promotion to do so before end of February. Once you did that, and assuming the relevant criteria was met you were invited to a seminar at the beginning of March. It was made clear that...

    3rd 6-5 assessment done

    Congrats. Should easily get the last remaining 6 games in. I've had 3 observations for my 7-6 without issue (2xAS and 1xSE) and need to get the last couple of games in which should be achieved before Christmas. Although do have a 4th observation lined up in a couple of weeks which I was...

    General feeling...

    It can feel really lonely at L7. I have sometimes felt really isolated and not wanting to get up and do the game. It's been harder for me with my daughter being so young. Sometimes you don't want to get up and go out for a couple of hours to do a game when you wake up to a baby/toddler wanting...

    Why do Sunday teams change leagues?

    The league local to me has seen 7-8 teams move over to the league in the next biggest town (15-miles away) because it has more than 40-teams to it whereas the local league usually has been 10-12 teams and isn't always well managed from a fixtures perspective. There has also been some element of...

    WRCFA Coloured Shirts

    The main league I am on hasn't made a decision yet, however, given that the majority are still wearing the kit they had when they first qualified I suspect the decision will be that we stick with black only, which suits me.
