no badge

[jofusref]

i am watching the arsenal liverpool ladies game and i notice referee mr rock isnt wearing a badge on his referee shirt, that isnt allowed in scotland, can anybody tell me is this common in england, i have never seen it before

It isn't common as you are expected to wear the badge of the competition or lower down the levels of football, your County badge.

It's possible that the referee has a new kit and hasn't had the opportunity of affixing his badge or that it has fallen off or his double sided tape has failed.

thanks for that brian i thought it was a bit odd

that isnt allowed in scotland

Not entirely true, I've never done it as any time the shirt was unbadged I used some double sided tape to apply a badge but I have seen many officials over the years without badges on their shirts and never been issue.

well we certainly dont allow it in the ayrshire association
