This afternoon a Black Referee will take charge of a @premierleague between @SheffieldUnited & @LutonTown , had I not gone public in 2019 and then encouraged Joel Mannix to follow my lead nothing would have changed. NO FALSE MODESTY 👁. #GhostObserver .

Many children will have witnessed a @premierleague player who was already on a yellow card. Make the decision to ABANDON his defensive .post and instead RUN TOWARDS the Ref 🙄. They will then have witnessed #JarredGillett respond in a way the @FA_PGMOL must come out and endorse👏🏾

Managers: There “will” be decisions you disagree with, that’s why a Referee is there. At the final whistle “please” shake hands and “thank them” for their time, they do not want to hear any negativity from you!! If you’re genuinely unhappy include that in your written report. 🙏🏿

If you're a young player and LUCKY enough to have a fully qualified @FARefereeing colleague appointed to YOUR game. Please treat them with Respect, because you may not know it but YOU may become a #Referee and suddenly see things completely differently. 👁. #WeONLYdopositive

Wishing the #Sundayleague Refs that kindly get out of bed to Ref this morning an ENJOYABLE game✊🏾. Do not allow anyone to spoil your fun😀. If you come across a Manager called Andy who dislikes you giving the correct decisions, give him the look OR a card then carry on 😎

Great to see a Referee go to the screen after the Video ASSISTANT has offered advice and then stick to his original decision. #BOSStheGame.

🗣️ "I'm very surprised that wasn't overturned.". Referee Don Robertson sticks with his decision to send off Dujon Sterling and Rangers are down to 10 vs Aberdeen. Watch live on @SkyFootball 📺

Well done to the @fa for publishing the written reasons for @SpursOfficial Pochettino’s two match ban. The more Managers are fully exposed the better for everyone. And I say that as a Spurs supporter.

Well done to ALL the @England players on reaching the FIRST #EuroFinal in our history. #JadonSancho #MarcusRashford #BukayoSaka.The intellectually challenged who have racially abused you and hence committed criminal offences are unimportant. You did great. 👏🏾👏🏾 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ✊🏾

"A Coach can make a bad decision a player can make a bad decision, a Referee can make ONE mistake and he's the worst Referee that's ever walked the planet". The words of Dave Bradshaw. I wonder what @GaryLineker and his pundits think about this.👁.

There is absolutely nothing outrageous about a human #Referee making human errors. If ever the time comes that we have perfect Managers & Players 👀 at that point it would also be fair to have an expectation of perfect #Refs , until that time comes lets all accept the reality👁.

Coaches/Players please remember that #Refs tend to be courteous bunch and will not tell you how to Coach or Play even if they privately think you are making some truly horrendous errors and are frankly awful🤷🏾‍♂️👁 If you #StayInYourLane football wins. Enjoy this afternoons game🙂✊🏾

We all saw what @GaryLineker did with his comrades at @BBCMOTD recently. Imagine if every @FA_PGMOL officials got together as one and backed #ConstantineHatzidakis after he was assaulted yesterday. Would #HowardWebb then have to come out and reset the agenda?. #RefShortage

If a @premierleague Referee is assaulted by a player, should he in YOUR opinion be allowed to use reasonable force within the confines of the Law (self-defence) to remove the aggressor from further unwanted physical contact?. @talkSPORT .@refsupportuk .#RefShortage 👁.

Thanks to @refsupportuk creating a new culture of publicly challenging the disrespect to Match Officials. We are entering a new phase where a CountyFA #Refs department has stepped up to publicly challenge behaviour harming the Retention&Recruitment. @NRCFAREFDEV Take a bow.✊🏾

The @SpursOfficial Manager Ange Postecoglou. "WHATEVER DECISION THEY'VE MADE AT SOME POINT WE HAVE.TO ACCEPT THE REFEREES DECISION THATS HOW I GREW UP". A statement full of class and maturity. This afternoon lets applaud Tottenham HOTSPUR 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

To all those who knew better than the #Referee yesterday. This is your opportunity to #STEPUP no excuses 👁. You'll have to #Referee 5 games to become fully qualified as well as do the theory. Remember talk is cheap, it's time to take action.

Ladies & Gentlemen I invite the @SouthernSunday Chairman @grahamrodber to take a bow. Crystal clear communication, leaving the clubs in absolutely no doubt if criminal behaviour takes place in his League he's fully behind the #Referees and will encourage Police involvement. ✊🏾.

If you spot a club who's been disrespectful on Social Media about our VALUED Referees but then BEGS for a #Referee , please let me know, so we can help them to understand why they've had to resort to BEGGING 😬 🤦🏾‍♂️Thanks and always remember. #WeOnlyDoPositive 😎✊🏾.

This week we've seen #GrahamPotter questioned because he's Emotionally Intelligent🤦🏾‍♂️. Whenever I come across @EmilKot , I always see the same controlled behaviour. Win,Lose or Draw. Agree or Strongly Disagree with decisions. It's important to highlight these quality Coaches.👏🏾

It's amazing how some players think they can award themselves a #FreeKick , every footballer should know the golden rule:.#PlayToTheWhistle . The below goal in the .@tonbridgeangels v @HungerfordTown game is certainly a bit different. @Love_non_league.

One of the most bizarre goals I’ve seen in a while!. James Harding making it 2-0 to Hungerford Town at Tonbridge Angels. (🎥 @oldcasual1871/ @tonbridgeangels).

Players/Managers when our Refereeing colleagues produce a Yellow today, it will not be specifically because. "he kicked the ball away"."time-wasting"."he accidentally walked infront of a quick free kick" . Or the classic . "It was for NOTHING". But for one of these 👇🏾

One of the funniest things you will sometimes hear is: “YOU CAN’T TALK TO THIS REF”.😂 Meanwhile you’re having great banter with the likeable players. What the moaner is really saying is : “THIS REF WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO INFLUENCE HIM AND BECOME ONE OF HIS ASSISTANT REFEREES”😊

If you're a #SundayLeague team and you're wondering why you've been unable to secure the valuble services of a qualified @FARefereeing colleague. Have a read of this.

An enjoyable afternoon Refereeing in the @ComCoFL this afternoon between @BedfontFeltham & @BritishAFC (Landlord v Tenant) I was suprised it wasn't an 11.30AM KO. Thanks to my Assistants. Tom & Dan, they tell me they had fun.🤣 That's what it's all about. 😀. #LoveTheWhistle ✊🏾

Absolutely disgraceful. When he's sitting in jail at that point he may realise its a football match not war.
