Good work. Would you mind sharing the nature of the FOI request you made? Perhaps share what you wrote?

''Dear RA,

Please can you let me know what the accountability procedures are for professional referees in England?

In particular I am curious to know the lines of accountability when a referee or linesman makes an obvious (in retrospect) error. Are they offered further training and / or is there some sanction?

Please treat this request in line with an FOI request.

Many thanks''

Pissing in the wind probably but they are obliged to offer some sort of reply I believe.

I have put in FOIs to the FA and the PGMOL. So far, the FA directed me to a form that only allows prescribed queries so I've emailed themasking for a more helpful reply. PGMOL have not replied yet. I also put one in to the Referees' Association and here is their reply:

Thank you for your email.


The Referees’ Association is a voluntary membership organisation which supports, educates, and develops those referees in this country of every level who choose to join our ranks.


We are not responsible in any way for, nor do we have any say at all in:


  • the decisions as to which referees get promoted to the top Leagues;
  • the games to which they then get appointed by the FA or the PGMOL;
  • the perceived standard of their performances in any of those matches.

We do care deeply about the game, but the issues you raise are totally out of our hands and beyond our remit, hence unfortunately we are unable to be of any help to you in this respect.


All of these matters are totally decided by the governing bodies in this country (the FA and the PGMOL), who are therefore best placed to respond.


Can you therefore please address your current observations/concerns, and similarly any future ones, direct to them please - thank you.


Kind Regards,


Ian .

Sorry mate not lived in the UK for nearly 4p years, so some abbreviations lose me. What is an FOI and a PGMOL? A F""""" Orrible Incident and a Perfectly Good Match Outcome Lashing?
