Must be competition rules or something... We all know the premier league works on its own accord to the rest of the leagues in the country so why should this be any different?
might be worth finding out 4th official duties, you are bound to be apointed sometimeI'm a qualified referee with ~5 years experience. I have no idea how to operate one of the digital boards, I've not used a comms kit and I have no real idea of what a 4th official actually does to be honest! I was also under the impression that all referees at that level are observed on every game - couldn't the observer come down and fill that role?
No. Its a "prestige" appointmentCan he claim for the expenses??
