Assessors must complete as advised in the “Assessor Guide”.

1. Application of Law:

You applied the laws throughout to a reasonable standard. The difference between Penal and Technical offences were recognized with offenders and incidents being dealt with as quickly as was possible. You showed man management skills by speaking to offenders while allowing play to continue or giving verbal admonishments when play had stopped. You used the new respect incentive well, with you including the captains in getting your point across. You did have to caution two players, the first in the 80th minute the A8, for a challenge on an opponent, regardless what some people may have thought, that it merited a sending off, I thought you judged the challenge very well, with it being a hard challenge but a caution was the correct decision. The second caution was a caution just waiting too happen, with you having to speak with the H7 on two previous occasions when in the 80th minute he again showed dissent to your decision making you quite correctly cautioned him.

2. Positioning, Fitness & Work rate:
Your positioning during open play was good with you attempting to get into side on views of the play, with the ball between you and your assistant. I was very pleased to watch your positioning at corner kicks with you always moving around the vicinity of the area watching for any pulls or pushes which are happening at these situations.
Could I make you aware of a habit that you seem too have, this being turning your back to the ball and going to your next start position, after it has gone out for a goal kick. As on one occasion you did this and turned to face play only for you to have found that a quick kick had been taken and play was under way. Could I suggest that in these incidents that you sprint for say six yards then turn around and continue to move backwards into your position watching the ball.
Your fitness was very good throughout the game.

3. Alertness & Awareness,
Including management of stoppages:
Your positioning helped you with being alert to any incidents that were taking place. You controlled all stoppages during play well, with you allowing any injured players plenty of time to recover before allowing the trainer onto the field.

4. Communication:
You communicated well to the players, explaining your decisions too them, which I believe goes a long way with them. You used both captains well to get your point over to the players, which again I thought was appreciated by both sides.
Your whistle tone was clear and varied according to the severity of the situation. Your hand signals were correct and clear for people too see.

5. Teamwork:
This was a good all round team performance, by you and your assistants. With you allowing them to make decisions in their quarter that they had seen. It was pleasing to hear you thank them for any decisions that they had given.

6. Advantage:
You tried to keep the game flowing as much as you could, but because of the standard of play shown by both sides it was hard for these advantages to come too anything. You brought play back if no advantage had accrued. Could I suggest that when you are playing the advantage clause that you carry on moving when signaling it, as there were occasions when you stopped and play had continued away from you. Your arm and vocal signals were very clear and left know one in any doubt what your intentions were.
.
7. Match Control:
This must have been an awful game to referee as both sides couldn’t string two passes together, which made it hard for you to judge where the ball was going to be played. Credit must go to you for keeping your concentration and working on your game throughout. You controlled it very well with you using good man management skills to get your point across. You also used the respect program well during the game which was pleasing too see. Well done on a good performance and good luck for the rest of the season.
