Posted in Appointments, FA Cup, My Season, Season 08/09 on July 26, 2008 | No Comments »
Friday afternoon I was padding a bit of time and checked my personal email. I found I had received my first appointment of the new season!
I have been appointed Referee for the FA Cup Extra Qualifier Goodrich vs Meir KA on the 16th August. This was a massive surprise and one I’m really chuffed with.  [...]

Since I achieved my Level 4 I have officiated on the Leicester Senior League as my Supply League. Two years ago the decision was made as a pilot to pool the Officials from the Senior League, with the Midland Comb, West Midlands League and create a Midlands Pool. The Referee’s would then officiate on any of the leagues and also on the Midland Football Alliance. This has worked really well and has enabled a good variety of standards and teams.
Anyway during last season it was confirmed that the Senior League would be losing its Step 6 status and so there would be a new league created with teams from the Senior League & Central Midlands making up a new East Midlands League. It was unclear where the officials would come from. However given where I live on the border of Leicester shire & Derby shire I expected I would be brought on to the new league.
A few weeks ago the supply leagues were announced. The new East Midlands league would join up with the Senior League in its new state & the Central Midlands league to create and East Midlands pool. I spoke to another Referee who lives 3 miles from me and he would be on this. However I had received no letter.

Well my season has been over now for a few weeks and its good chance to have a quick look back. When I look back at the season I feel it was a bit of a lost season but when I look back properly it was really a roller coaster year.

I received a phone call on Friday telling me I would be assessed on Saturday. Wow not seen one for 5 months and i get two in two games! I left home to ensure I got to the ground in plenty of time, however due to the fact that City were at home. It took me nearly 40 minutes to do the last 2 miles to St Andrews. However as I had left home Early i was still on time.

Do you ever get the feeling that its not going to be your day. Saturday proved to be a bit odd in the build up and I had this feeling that it really wasn’t going to be a good day at the office. Â
Barrow needed to win to have any realistic chance of catch Kirby Muxloe. [...]
