Referee wearing a GO-PRO

[p4yno]

So a team in the Leatherhead and District league in which a Soccer AM crew member is a player recorded a game.... The referee is wearing a go-pro.... Thoughts? This is a FA sanctioned league game not a friendly...

I suspect that prior approval was sought from CFA, League and opposition before referee even thought about agreeing to it!

Interesting.

So, was it a stamp by Blue #13? And handball before Blue's second goal? Both were crucial KMIs in the game. Blue #13, who should've been dismissed, stayed on and provided the cross for the equaliser plus, the other incident led straight to the winning goal (albeit shocking goalkeeping).

Is there a rule that says referees can't wear a camera? And if so is it an FA rule?

WRCFA issued guidance a couple of years ago strongly deterring anyone form wearing one, primarily because of risk of injury to the wearer
