I'm happy you've mentioned that actually as I wasn't sure how using a script would be taken. I'll probably go down that route now

Cheers, on the line for a game at the weekend so I'm going to make sure I listen to the refs pre-match instructions so I can take as much from his as possible.

Managed to get myself a final in my Sunday League in my first season in it, was quite surprised to say the least. It'll be my first middle working with NAR's, both of who have been in the league for quite a while. I know one of them is 'getting on' to put it politely, so I was wondering how I go...

That's fair enough, I get where you're coming from. I just think it'll push me, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, it won't be the end of the world (as long as I'm offered the backup 7-6 option). Can see why some may see it as a little naive though

Yeah I'm going to go for it, it's good that I'll still have the 7-6 jump there if I don't get the 40 games in. Happy enough to dedicate more time to refing instead of playing if it means I'm able to complete the 40

Got to do as much as I can whilst I'm still young and able to! I get from the outside it looks like far too much though

Down south Yorkshire isn't it compared to us up here! Currently play in our CFA's U18 League in Durham- so it's Saturday afternoons. Referee in the local Sunday league on a morning and then on an afternoon in an U17's game. I'd hope I'm more than disciplined enough to not get sent off, I've...

Brutal but a fair comment I suppose. I'd say I'm more than committed, but I've played at a high level for a while (only 17 like) so I'm a bit reluctant to just wrap it in. I would be willing to make it my 'secondary' role though if need be

Has anyone on here done it? If so, is it much more difficult than people say 7-6 is, as most people I've spoke to say that it's fairly straight-forward. Biggest difficulty I can see would be trying to get 40 games in because I'm still playing as well.

As far as I'm aware I should be fine to post it once it's done, couldnt agree more with the blame culture we seem to have towards refs though. I'll be sure to post it once it's finished

I've just had some feedback off my supervisor about the title, saying that it wasn't good enough to put it bluntly! Although she doesn't have a clue about he topic, and therefore couldn't really advise me on how to make it any better, so the fact you've been able to give some views from an EPQ...

Maybe they aren't, luckily I've got 5000 words to play with so I can evaluate the question!

Yeah I've also been getting opinions from other forms within the game (players/spectators and so on) cheers for your input, appreciate it!

I've been following the forums for quite a while but never really felt the need to post! I'm currently doing 5,000 word EPQ (extended project qualification), with the title being 'Refereeing- Why are they the most hated person in Football'. I get the title's pretty broad, but it needs to be so I...
