Promotion to National Group of Assistant Referees (?)

Anyone got a full list of the successful officials as yet?

Congratulations to everyone else that has already had confirmation on their promotions

I really like Gillett's style of refereeing. Firm but fair.
IMO he's adapted to the English game really well.

Excellent performance from Brooks as he has been on the few occasions that I've seen him this season.

This will raise further questions in relation to numbers at certain levels. Unless there are a barrage of demotions at the season's end, particularly at 2b, certain levels will remain oversubscribed. I suspect the FA have plans for who operates at which level from next season and there may be the introduction of fourth officials lower down the pyramid.

Not seen many 2B Referees this season but, unfortunately some of the 2As I have seen are currently, IMHO, not of the required standard for the level of football.
Maybe (I hope) the extra season's experience will bring about a significant improvement in some.

Are there, do colleagues know, any really encouraging 2Bs in the system?


I've seen a few good 2B's at various games this season.

The stand outs for me have been,

Richard Eley
George Laflin
Harry Jones
Elliot Swallow

I've also seen a few terrible ones!!!

Referees have been notified of mid-season promotions from L4-3, L3 - 2B and 2B - 2A. Aswell as promotion as an AR too. Well done to those who have got the good news!

I saw Tom a couple of seasons ago and he was a strong performer and thought he'd be one for the future. Clearly he's still progressing well.

It was a great wait and see by Antrobus.

The attacker was offside but had no impact.

I've just seen the highlights for this game.

1st yellow for McBurnie is a dead cert.
2nd yellow also under new directives is correct. A clear act of dissent by action.

Added time correctly added (12 mins).

Sounds like Banks has applied the directives correctly. Ultimately the onus now is on the players to keep the game flowing and they risk a caution if they delay it, which I think the SU GK was trying to do.

I think Dowle is part of the ERDP so she will be getting numerous opportunities including football league games.

This is really really poor. Looks like the ref has gone looking for trouble.
I can only assume that all the officials on this game will get suspended like Stroud's team did a few years ago!?
