Without trivialising David’s experiences but the penny has dropped. There was always something missing from the story.
Hopefully David can move forward and create a life for himself. I feel deeply for him. I guess football has a long way to go.. would it be appropriate for during a round of the Premier League for referees and assistants to wear rainbow laces? In Aust the League referee Matt Chechin came out with a year or two to go in his career. The newspapers kept the story under wraps until his son finished high school. 3

Stadium announcements have worked pretty well in Australia. As long as the referee gives the information in a concise manner and does not want to be the star of the show

I believe the Scottish refs only have Black , Yellow and Orange shirts to wear. With a team in Black and Yellow stripes the orange was the only choice? Not a good option agreed.
It is my criticism of the new Addison range, they are all pale .pastel coloured that kind of blend into each other. THis is where bolder colours work better. 6

Ironic as the FA took our previous Head of Refereeing.

Not a Scottish referee appointed. Willie Collum has a big job.

This will be a loss. Marais is an example of an umpire/referee always having the ability to improve. He started off as a shaky umpire but retires as the best umpire of the last 5 years. Congratulations to him on a great career.

... imagine staying down that long because a referee accidently hit you. One tough hombre there.

Referee in good view sees the issue and says no foul.
VAR says Obvious error and RC. I pose this question... If the referee sees the incident and says no FOUL how can we go to a red card and keep the authority and confidence of the referee on the field. If it was a RC in my humble opinion then the VAR needs to stay out and let the referee carry the can. I see a difference between going from Yellow to Red and Red to Yellow but from nothing to RC the referee on the field needs to be 100% accountable..... Please discuss. 14

Wow. Appointments based on performance and not reputation… not the previous ICC way. Glad for the change.
