General Discussion / the news today« on: Tue 14 Feb 2023 03:58 »
The latest news today about grass roots refereeing makes very depressing reading -assaults,abuse,threats etc., -Chris Sutton seen refereeing a junior match (obviously staged} is a bit of a joke - although he make some valid points
I despair about how things are going - the situation seems to be getting worse - much blame seems to be placed on the amount of football seen on TV and the behaviour of the grossly overpaid professional players What is the answer - it seems that nobody really knows 19
General Discussion / Coventry v Luton Steve Martin« on: Sat 11 Feb 2023 20:41 »
Being a life long Luton supporter I did not see this match but I have just being reading the comments on the match and I know one shouldn't take much notice of these kind of comments but I couldn't help noting various comments about Mr Martin such as :a disgrace,worst I've seen in a long time,worst officials we've had all season, ref was an absolute joke,he had a shocker,ref needs removing from any level,ref say no more,shocking referee absolute disgrace,
Now I know these are typical comments expected from so called fans and should be ignored but it makes one wonder. As matter of interest is Steve Martin as bad as these comments would have one believe 20
General Discussion / Hostility in the game pushing referees to use recording devices« on: Sat 04 Feb 2023 16:12 »
Has anyone seen this article in todays I Paper - it is rather a long article which raises some concerns - it alleges that some referees in the EFL and Non league are using small audio devices to covertly record exchanges on the pitch and in their offices after gam es to protect themselves from false allegations - there are some excerpts from these recordings
All a bit worrying 21
General Discussion / Memership of this forum« on: Thu 02 Feb 2023 04:56 »
I often wonder how many of SG1/2 and other Div1/2 officials are members of this forum and whether all the many comments etc have any effect on them at all
I know there is no way of knowing this but I would find it interesting 22
General Discussion / PGMOL youtube channel« on: Thu 22 Dec 2022 04:24 »
I don't know how long this channel has been in existance and I can't understand how I've missed knowing about it - maybe its been mentioned on this forum and if it has I have obviously missed any reference to it
But having found it by chance I would certainly recommend viewing it - it is very informative about all aspects of refereeing with interviews etc My apologies to all those who already know about it and my own ignorance of its existance 23

I have just seen this on Youtube - it is a very interesting discussion and uplifting interview - and a change from all the hype etc surrounding Premiership etc It is worth a few minutes of everyones time in my opinion 24
General Discussion / Postponed games« on: Sat 17 Dec 2022 17:47 »
It was interesting to note that all the Championship games were played whereas practically no other games took place - and I was just wondering why? -the weather being the same nearly everywhere - I suppose it is because the lower league teams do not have the resources (money,finances etc) to cope
Any other reasons? 25

Have seen no mention for several weeks now -has she retired?

General Discussion / ebbsfleet v fleetwood FACup« on: Sun 27 Nov 2022 15:54 »
It was a pity that R Welch was withdrawn from this TV match as I was looking forward to seeing,for the first time,how she coped/managed a mens match - her replacement seemed to have a reasonable game

General Discussion / Jeremy Simpson - Burnley v Reading« on: Sun 30 Oct 2022 17:23 »
In todays Observer it was noted that 'Ince rages at total joke referee' - it goes on to say Ince described Simpson as 'a joke,an absolutely total joke - I feel like I've been conned by the referee today and thats what makes me angry'
It it likely that some kind of reprimand will made against Paul Ince - surely he cannot make these kind of remarks and get away with it 28
General Discussion / world cup break« on: Sat 29 Oct 2022 17:24 »
as a matter of interest - during the break will the full-time refs be officiating in league 1 and 2 ot will they have the break as well - if they do move to league 1 and 2 it seems a little unfair on the present 1 and 2 officials
