Re: Sunderland's first pen

The AR will presumably have been going off the guidance given to him by the ref in what officials call the "pre-match". This is where the ref explains their expectations for the assistants. It's mostly the same every week, from my experiences, but with one or two subtle differences at times. Also re...

Re: Ai to replace redundant linesmen

As a level 5 / 3W ref, I do my fair share of AR duty, including in Burnley womens' league. ARs are given a "pre-match" where the ref outlines his / her expectations - this is what you try to stick to during the game, and this can vary from ref to ref, albeit with some big similarities. This usually ...
