Strengths
From our analysis from hudl, it is clear that the referee has good communication with other
officials regarding what the linesman view or thoughts of the situation was. They would
compare then conclude to an agreed decision. He shared thoughts with the managers and
conducted them very well respectfully. They arrived in the correct equipment and gear,
managing the players safety before the game by asking various questions about jewelry and
checking players studs, this states that he is a good role model to others. He dealt with
conflict in the right way when it was necessary as he took priority in the players wealthfare,
then once he was alright carried on with the rules of the game.
Weaknesses
These are my opinions on areas for the referee to improve on. Communication with players
could have been dealt with more maturely respecting players questioning his decisions as
moving forward he will be respected by the players resulting in less minor arguments on the
pitch. His fitness levels will be needed to improve as it was clear he was struggling towards
the end of each half keeping up with the fast play and multiple turnovers. In the future his
fitness levels will help him keep up with plays noticing further potential infringements and will
concentrate on the game more rather than thinking how tired he is. To improve his
interpretation of the rules he can ask and speak to other experienced officials learning off
them and then they can complete more qualifications.
