Guide To Marking Referees
The mark awarded by a club must be based on the referee's overall performance, It is most important that the mark is awarded fairly and not based upon isolated incidents or previous games. The referee's performance should be determined by the table below which should act as a guide for the overall mark which should fall within the mark range for each standard of performance.
91-100
The referee was extremely accurate in decision making and very successfully controlled the game using management and communication skills to create an environment of fair play, adding real value to the game.
81-90
The referee was very accurate in decision making and successfully controlled the game using management and communication skills to create an environment of fair play.
71 - 80
The referee was accurate in decision making and controlled the game well, communicating with the players, making a positive contribution towards fair play.
61-70
The referee was reasonably accurate in decision making, controlled the game quite well and communicated with players, establishing a reasonable degree of fair play.
51-60
The referee had some shortcomings in the level of accuracy of decision making and control, with only limited success in communicating with the players resulting in variable fair play.
50 and below
The referee had significant shortcomings in the level of accuracy of decision making and control with poor communication with the players which resulted in low levels of fair play
Notes
Using a scale of up to 100 allows greater flexibility for clubs to distinguish between different refereeing performances more accurately.
A mark within each mark range can be given to reflect the referee's performance e.g. a mark of 79 indicates a somewhat better performance than a mark of 71.
A mark between 71 and 80 represents the standard of refereeing expected.
When a mark of 50 or less is awarded, an explanation must be provided to the League or Competition by completing the appropriate box on the marking form. It must include comments which could help improve the referee's future performances. Even where a referee has significant shortcomings there will have been some positive aspects which should be given credit; extremely low marks (below 20) should be very rare.
How to Decide on the referee's Mark
The following questions focus on the key areas of a referee's performance. They are intended as an "aide memoire", are not necessarily comprehensive and need not be answered individually. It is, however, worth considering them before committing yourself to a mark for the referee.
CONTROL AND DECISION MAKING
- How well did the referee control the game?
- Were the players' actions recognized correctly?
- Were the Laws applied correctly?
- Were all incidents dealt with efficiently/effectively?
- Were all the appropriate sanctions applied correctly?
- Was the referee always within reasonable distance of incidents?
- Was the referee well positioned to make critical decisions, especially in and around the penalty area?
- Did the referee understand the players' positional intentions and keep out of the way accordingly?
- Did the referee demonstrate alertness and concentration throughout the game?
- Did the referee apply the use of the advantage to suit the mood and temperature of the game?
- Was the referee aware of the players' attitude to advantage?
- Did the referee use the assistants effectively?
- Did the officials work as a team, and did the referee lead and manage them to the benefit of the game?
COMMUNICATION AND PLAYER MANAGEMENT
- How well did the referee communicate with the players during the game?
- Did the referee's level of involvement/profile suit this particular game?
- Did the referee understand the players' problems on the day ? e.g. difficult ground/weather conditions?
- Did the referee respond to the changing pattern of play/mood of players'
- Did the referee demonstrate empathy for the game, allowing it to develop in accordance with the tempo of the game?
- Was the referee pro-active in controlling of the game?
- Was the referee's authority asserted firmly without being officious
- Was the referee confident and quick thinking?
- Did the referee appear unflustered and unhurried when making critical decisions?
- Did the referee permit undue questioning of decisions?
- Did the referee deal effectively with players crowding around after decisions/incidents?
- Was effective player management in evidence?
- Was the referee's body language confident and open at all times?
- Did the pace of the game, the crowd or player pressure affect the referee negatively?
Final Thoughts
- Always try to be objective when marking. You may not obtain the most objective view by marking immediately after the game.
- Judge the performance over the whole game. Don?t be too influenced by one particular incident.
- Don't mark the referee down unfairly because your team was unlucky and lost the game or some disciplinary action was taken against your players.

 Wes is on the left, with Jarnal Singh in the middle. (Jarnal is also a former MCFL referee). |
| Wes Linden has just completed his second season as an Assistant Referee on the Football League and completed more than 10 appointments in Championship games alone this season, as well as numerous other League One and League Two games. He had three live TV games - an FA Cup replay at Cardiff City on the BBC; a game involving Bristol City and the runners-up West Brom on BBC 1; and a quarter-final of the Johnstone Paint Trophy at Southampton v Charlton. He also referees at Contributory League level, where he's the 'man in the middle' on the Conference South, Ryman and Southern League. Yet just six seasons ago he was officiating on the Middlesex County League. |

| Here are his views on how the league helped his career: "I worked my way through my level 7, 6 and 5 promotions on the Middlesex County League - initially lining to more experienced, senior colleagues and then being allowed to referee some of the lower division games. The lining experience I got was invaluable, firstly as it was a great introduction to working as an Assistant Referee and going out as a team of three, but it was also great in terms of the advice, encouragement and help I got from more senior referees. There are still lessons and tips I picked up from these guys and these matches, which I use today on the Football League. |

| Refereeing on the lower divisions was excellent too - the leagues are well-organised and well-disciplined meaning that I was tested by a good, competitive standard of football. Eventually, I was offered the chance to referee on the Middlesex County Premier Division, which was tremendous experience as this gave me the chance to work with two Assistants, many of whom would be 'senior' to me but would be more than happy to share their experience and help me find my feet. The standard of football was high and the games were of the right quality and 'toughness' to ensure I could learn the trade and prepare myself for supply league (level 4) football. I'll always be grateful to the colleagues I worked with on the Middlesex County League, who shared their advice so freely; and the teams/club officials/players I refereed, many of whom I built friendships with that still exist today. If you're looking for a good launch-pad into Senior football, I can definitely recommend the Middlesex County League." |
