This month, Football League referee Jon Moss is our guest speaker. Jon, who is in his fifth year as a Natiuonal List referee, brings a wealth of experience to us and will no doubt provide a brilliant insight into this vital area of the game.
As referees, we must be aware of the how we, both individually and collectively as a team, can mange a match to ensure that control is maintained and the laws administered as required.No doubt every member and guest who comes along will take something away to help them developtheir game.
Jon qualified as a referee in 1988 whilst still playing football but only really got into refereeing in 1999 when he became a Level 4 supply league referee in the Harrogate League. After 1 year as a supply league referee he spent 2 years as a Level 3 contributory league referee before 2 years on the panel referees list (Level 2) and is now in his 5th season as a Football League (Level 1) referee. He refereed the 2005 Conference Final and was the 4th Official in the 2007 FA Trophy Final whilst he has been involved in the Football League Play-offs for the past 3 seasons.
