		<description>Well that sounds rather bizarre and pointless.  Another load of bureacratic tosh from the FA!  Is a white collar really going to make a huge difference? 
I do not think I have ever realised that referees collars are white or black, and to be hoest by them wearing a black top is enough to make me realise they are the referee!  So I think its time for an FA re-think!</description>

		<description>Good question.  Its an FA rule in all FA Comp&#039;s that Referee&#039;s shirt will be black with a white collar, so we have to follow this.  Of course the Football League &amp; Premier League are different.    There has been talk that they will scrap this but I dont see them doing it soon ( why not alread?)</description>

		<description>Thanks guys.   Im not sure exactly but I think there were about 50 at our test and I &quot;think&quot; just 1 failure but not sure (was on my test I think).   The cards are a bit of a pain, it was a new person who did mine and I had to 3 times get them to fill it in correctly, kept missing bits off...didnt sign it or stamp it.

Not long now until Pre-Season</description>

		<description>Well done mate, yes it was a wet morning. There were 39 refs at my test which were split into 3 groups of 13. I was in the first group and did a steady pace to achieve 2600 metres to make sure I saved myself for the sprints on such a cold and wet morning. Only 1 out of the 39 failed, although some had the same problem with not getting their cards stamped, but fortunately they went to the Hospital around the corner and got them verified and returned in time so they could take part.</description>

		<description>Well done mate, Most of the guys I know passed. One had an injury in the first sprint and another had to postpone his run because of an admin error (blood pressure card not stamped). He&#039;s going back in 5 weeks for a go and I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll breeze through.</description>
