Note from Ray Lloyd
Referees Training Officer
Colleagues,
Below I have pasted an email from County HQ, this
really is an important issue, it is an important part of our role to get our
reports submitted correctly and on time, below are some of the problems being
experienced at County Office, this should not happen,
If you want help with your reports after a game,
please do not go home & worry, contact me or Peter Manaton and we will help
you through the process.
Lets make sure we get the reports in on time, and
NEVER EVER fail to send in a report, every time you Caution Someone or Send
Someone Off you MUST submit the report.
Ray Lloyd,
East Area Training Officer
Following discussions with the discipline
department and upon reviewing several misconduct and caution forms it is clear
that standard of report writing has fallen and in some cases is completely
unacceptable. Whilst the majority of referees submit their reports on time and
ensure they are of a high standard, there is a minority who seem to persistently
send in, incomplete forms or simply fill them in incorrectly.
The problems which regularly arise
are;
* Incorrectly spelt names of
players
* No Caution Codes
* No FAN or
FAMOA Number
* Incorrect match date
*
Entering the score of the fixture instead of 1st team/2nd team
playing
* No Referee details, including no name at
times
* Wrong team for the player who has been
cautioned/sent off
* Name of competition details incorrect
for example, Peninsula, instead of South West Peninsula League Division One
East
Other problems occurring for standard misconduct reports;
* Lack of detail within the report, some of these
have gone to appeal and have been lost due to lack of
information
* Incorrect sending off code as detailed on the
form
* Inability to read writing on reports written -
please print handwriting
After receiving reports with the above mistakes, clubs contact the DCFA to
complain about the standard of these reports. This not only creates further
unnecessary work for the Discipline Department but it reflects badly on the
County Referees.
Whilst we appreciate it is not all referees who continually make mistakes
we feel this information would be useful for everyone.
We also appreciate the lack of training for referees around this subject
and will be looking to rectify this through RA's and local training
events.
