Jertzee, when I initially passed my course, my instructors on the course said that as long as you wear something black, then for your first couple of games that will be fine until you get your official kit.

Steve, I think that the left and right ones are completed in a diagonal type pattern, where you step two paces to the left whilst going forward, and then two paces to the right. I may be wrong though. The hamstring walk, is when swing your leg into the air, I think.

Dan, do London have one? I didn't think they did? I'm sure they're run instead by the club's academies (Arsenal, Tottenham, Charlton). I may be wrong though?

I'm starting with Arsenal's Academy next season, and I have heard from people that it is quite strict, for both players and officials. The players do not show much dissent as they are all fighting for a pro contract and so don't want to be kicked out and so are on their best behaviour. For the...

Steve, another reason could be that if you get assessed by an assessor, and they give you 65 - you fail overall. The next time you apply for promotion, you will spend your whole season hoping not to get 'that' assessor again. Then if you do get him/her, it could potentially cause problems for...

We do still get 3 points of improvement, and 3 points of strengths. Just get a massive description of key match incidents too! Steve, the reason for not giving the scores out to level 7's, 6's and 5's is to try and stop them from losing faith - basically. If as a level 7 ref you saw your score...

You're lucky how you get your score at the bottom! I'd love to have that in England! However, it is a shame that they don't go into as much detail as over here... What is the pass mark for you? Looks like a good report nonetheless! Were you happy with it?

Main aim, to attain level 6... If I can achieve that - even though I was not meant to be on the promotion scheme this year due to me starting it at 15, then I'd be well chuffed!

Generally as a level 8, you would be doing youth leagues and academies (dependant on what academy you go to). Level 7 you would do the same standard of football as the level 8 youth league, but instead of youth, you could/would do open age. I think from level 7 - 5 you can become an assistant on...

Cheers Craig

Aled, I was thinking about going too. Do you know the website where all the information is about it?

Ryan, unfortunately didn't see this in time. Did you record it? I'd love to have a watch! :P

Normally, a corner is signalled with a whistle if it has taken a deflection. So it just lets people know of the decision... Can be quite effective if used correctly!

Edward, Firstly, you will have to be at least 16 on March 1st if would like to apply for promotion for the promotion season, which runs from March to March. You will also need to referee open age games, which may be something you will have to consider. Something that happened to me was that...

Mick, I'd contact your RDO! Shouldn't take that long! We had to complete 'Module 5', which was basically where they gave us our badges and certificates. So something similar may happen at your County FA - one may have not organised yet! Your RDO will certainly be able to tell you though!

Could any more light be shed upon this matter?

Good luck in your season Ryan! :)

Unsporting Behaviour. You may have to specify what it was for, and so 'TR' would match it perfectly! Tripping if you didn't guess :P

At Charlton Athletic's ground for a referee Mastermind Group, run by the London FA. Very inspirational guy!

Has to be Howard Webb for me! Met him tonight and he is such an inspirational guy! Quality referee too!
