Don’t @ me, don’t send abuse because I am not interested. Without referees we have no game & that was an excellent refereeing display at Villa Pk from Craig Pawson. Needs to be said when it is so. #PremierLeague

Can consistency be achieved? 🤔
We always hear supporters in the stands asking for officials to be consistent, but that can't always be the case.

FA CORE | The weekend saw 8️⃣ of our @NorthRidingFA officials attend The @FARefereeing CORE Conference powered by @TheRefStop! A brilliant weekend packed with learning & development ahead of the new season with practical training, clips, law updates & keynote speakers👏
You’re in big trouble now 🤣😉
Replying to @HACKETTREF
We are now at the stage that people expect 100% accuracy from referees. It can't happen while humans referee. However no-one is interested in the human part anymore. Old Trafford Sunday, 300 decisions nailed on, 1 red, 1 penalty. Zero reliance on VAR which people say refs should be stop doing. Any league without VAR that is given as a FK. One finger touching the ball is deemed in control, people forget that.
Our officials deserve far more credit than they receive. Martinez made a mistake and no-one is talking about it, again players can make mistakes but referees cannot.
Villa didn't turn up, no-one is talking about it.
In shock news, Mr H****** criticises the organisation without considering the facts. I love the response that @MrChrisFoy gives. Fair and balanced. 👏🏼
Former referees' chief Keith Hackett has criticised the decision to appoint Thomas Bramall to officiate Aston Villa's defeat by Manchester United.

A day before officiating the #AdobeWomensFACup Final, referee Stacey Fullicks was handing out medals at the Northamptonshire Women’s & Girls’ Football League.
Giving back to grassroots football 🌟

Jobie and Troy are absolutely spot on here. It’s a penalty and red card
🚨🚨ANTI-REF HACKETT BACKS REFEREES DECISION 🚨🚨
Ladies and gentlemen, the unthinkable has happened. @HACKETTREF has actually quoted law and backed a referees decision.
If big Keith is happy, it must be right!

Wonderful to see some well informed and educated punditry from Jobi McAnuff 👏 also pleasing to see @SkyFootball share this on their socials even though it goes against their usual anti referee agenda
