Masters Giveaway! Nothing crazy, just a couple golf shirts and some hats from the ANGC pro shop. (I know it’s super late but I’ve been busy 🤷🏻‍♂️) Only 1 winner and I’ll be picking today. I’ll throw in some of my stuff as well like the @Binary_Defense hat and @Titleist prov1X

Another game not tracked by @refsix starting to get frustrated paying for a service that doesn’t work every few games. Is my HR monitor causing issues?

The Referees’ Association condemns the attack on referee Halil Umut Meler following a game in Turkey last night and wishes him a speedy recovery. The action being taken by Turkish football authorities shows what can be done when the will to act is strong enough.

Really do wish Daniel Siebert would book some of the dissent from Atheltico players. It’s constant. 🤦 #ChampionsLeague #ATMMCI

Delighted to update this to say I received a 78 for my final report, meaning I’ve averaged 73.6 across all 5. One more hurdle to do which will be my first attempt at the fitness test towards the end of the month! #referee #promotion

Last observation for my 5-4 completed yesterday. Great initial feedback from the observer and both my assistants. Now just waiting on the report 😁

It's your Monday VAR thread, and it's not really as controversial as the "noise" may have suggested. Looking at: - Penalty incidents in Arsenal v Man City - Penalty incidents in Watford v Spurs - Red card incidents in Chelsea v Liverpool - Overturns - Quick offside recap
