Hi guys!
Finally taken the plunge and have booked on my refs course in June. I'm really looking forward to joining the ranks of the 'men in black'.
I've been working in professional academy football for 14 years now as a physio and have always been interested in the laws of the game.

Title is misleading - it has got down to what happens if a physio is dismissed. Think your thoughts would be welcome.

Hello,
Park football usually is a 'first aider' with perhaps a bucket and sponge but at pro type level (from my experience) Physios can be reported for their untoward behaviour.
A pro ref that I speak to quite regularly says he wouldn't dismiss the teams physio as they are aware of medical history etc.
Another interesting point is that prem / champ teams have a doctor on the bench too so I suppose if a mouthy physio does get dismissed the doc better be able to run!
