Half time advice for AR

[Ref1995]

Yesterday refereed my first game at Step7, only the 2nd or 3rd time I've had NAR's. One of which is a much more experienced level 5 and it felt like he wasn't interested in listening to pre match and thought he should be the referee. He didn't even keep the full match record I asked him too. At half time had 3 cautions in the 1st half he said to me "your too quick with cards and whistle" One caution tactical foul, one for a scissor and one for AA after the scissor. I said its the way I referee but I respect that different generations do things differently. This was really in my head for the second half it didn't affect my performance but I was worrying about what he had said. Rest of the game is uneventful except for the 92nd minute dissent yellow card easy. After the game over a pint he say he gives everyone a chance even if its a clear yellow will give them another one!!!! I HAVE FOUND LAST WEEKS REF!!!!

On a serious note what would you do if someone said this to you at half time. I felt it was an attack on me as a referee. How can I deal with it in the future if a higher level ref is appointed to do a line for me?

I would take his advice in but if I didn't agree with it then of course you can choose to ignore it.

Presuming in your leagues the ref gives his assistants a mark? If you were not happy with him for not doing what you asked then nothing wrong with giving him a lower mark.

You mention he thought he should be ref? I don't know what it is like in your county but in ours you would never have a level 5 on the line with a level 6 in the middle. If a level 6 is in the middle then his assistants would either be a level 6 or 7. Could this possibly be a reason he was unhappy?

I'm a 6-5 I thought was strange but maybe the ref sec was trying to do me a favour.

What would you give as an average mark to your AR's

That depends on how they did during the game and in following instructions mate

Take him outside, ask for his cards and whistle.

Then execute him.

Very helpful
As in would you give a 72 for average like assessments or do it otherwise?

I did consider leaving him there as had given him a lift

Say, ok thanks for your advice, now let's get this second half done and get on with the game.

Neutral ARs as a L6? Well done on getting the appointment. L6 gets neutral AR at Cup semi-final stage of cups in our County.
