You will only receive assessments if you are seeking promotion

TNS would do OK in the Conference but only due to the money they have, although if they were in the Conference they wouldn't get Champions League money every year. The rest of the league is probably anything from top half Conference North/South to top Northern/Southern Prem

Congrats Matt!!! What sort of interview do level 4 candidates need to have? I presumed they just got promoted like normal?

What was the reason of the ref abandoning it? Did he abandon due to the weather or because the team walked off? If it's because of the team walking off then I'd expect them to be kicked out for refusing to play

In the youth league I ref in it is in the competition rules that the spectators must be on the opposite side to the coaches. The majority of venues have no benches so there is no reason why the coaches cant move if the spectators can't. Grounds which have benches generally have a barrier around...

Wales has 10 tiers however if you are from the north east then it only goes down to level 5 Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_football_league_system

I would of had a word with him and told him that if I hear one more word about my performance come out of his mouth then I would be sending in a misconduct report. Also you say that the coach turned to the spectators? As in the spectators were on the same side as the coaches? If you can help it...

I think he is just trying it on. Sounds like you got it right

IMO he is by far the best ref currently officiating in this country. Yes he had a nightmare last weekend but it was a big one off. Problem with them comments are that they are mostly from Premier League fans who have never watched a match live in their life and are convinced that every referee...

In our county league the club marks are given out around February time to those who are going for promotion. Haven't got a clue about assessments marks though

As he is getting into a lot of criticism what is everyone's view on his performance? IMO he has got everything correct so far apart from Southamptons second penalty shout. He and the assistant had no chance of seeing if Mignolets handball was inside or out so he can't give it

I don't often have neutral assistants so I don't have a definitive set of instruction to give. On the occasions I have had them I have planned what I want to say to them in advance and I type it up and then print it off. When I give my talk I use this as a checklist. I have been with referees...

I know that at the top levels you can have officials who are specialised as an assistant and do mostly lines rather than middles but what level do you need to be before you are given the opportunity to choose? Or is simply a case of being assessed and the FA coming to the conclusion that you are...

Whenever I forget a coin I just put my whistle behind my back, then stick my hands in front of me closed and ask the away team which hand the whistle is in. If he guesses correctly then he chooses ends

And now he says that he didn't think there was any contact between Rooney and the goalkeeper but as Rooney went down the ref has to give a penalty:confused:

That is the problem.

In 11 v 11 as long as there is at least 7 players then it doesn't matter if they have others available. I don't know what the minimum is for 7 v 7. As they were doing it just to try and even up the game I would personally let them do it regardless.

Whenever I feel like that I just think that the higher up you go the better the standard of football and the better behaved the players are. Put up with it now and you will be rewarded in the future

If the league chose to let the score stand then the score would be whatever it was at abandonment. If a team has 5 sendings off in one game then I would expect them to get some sort of points deduction for it

Thanks for the response mate. I personally don't mind the travelling so would be fine going over there. Presuming the secretary hasn't changed since the start of the season then I already know who it is thanks:)
