But pressure is nothing new to the 21 year old, who has spent the second half of each of the last two seasons trying to help teams avoid relegation in the lower leagues. On Loan Ramsdale went to Chesterfield in January 2018 with the aim of helping them stay up in League Two, but they ultimately finished bottom. “That was a tough period, because we had a good team but we never got the results, never hit the heights”, he said. Even so, it was an invaluable experience for the young shot stopper, as he gained playing experience and was toughened up, which would prove useful in the higher leagues. “Getting knocked about and pinned in for corners, it’s tough. But it allows me now, with less physical contact in the Premier League, to come for crosses and know 4 SPRING 2020 I’ll be alright. I’ve come up against Ade always a punch.

His form was so impressive dramatically and they only lost one of best option. If you have any doubt, it’s he won the club’s Young Player of the Year their final 12 matches to stay up on the final day with a 0-0 draw at Bradford. Despite what he has achieved since, Ramsdale still describes it as one of the highlights of his career so far. “The last day at Bradford was the worst we played as a team from January onward, but with the team spirit we had showed for 20 games or so, we managed to grind out a 0-0 draw and ended up staying up.” “To go from where we were to staying up on goal difference, it definitely hit harder for me as I’d really played my part with seven clean sheets. I could look at myself and say I’d had a big part to play”, he added. “Having seen what had happened at Chesterfield, with people losing their jobs because we got relegated, it was SPRING 2020 5 something I never wanted to see again “So I’ve been working on my long But then there’s more modern analysis and something which I didn’t want on kicking, my short kicking, there’s been and coaching too, whether that be from my CV.

  • Refereeing Structures in England (Open Access
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Elite Refereeing Structures in England: A Perfect Model or a Challenging Invention? Tom Webb a* a Department of Sport and Exercise Science, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, UK. * Email: [email protected] 1 Abstract The structure employed in England for referees and elite referees is something which has evolved as the game of Association Football has developed over time. This referee promotion, support and management system has changed more rapidly since the inauguration of the Premier League and latterly since the introduction of ‘full-time’ or ‘professional’ referees. The change in the promotion and support for elite referees has necessitated changes to that management structure at the elite level in particular. This article has utilised historical research to analyse the changes to these structures alongside semi-structured interviews as a means of analysing this evolving network for elite referees. Findings indicate that support for the changes which have occurred in elite refereeing regarding the establishment of ‘full-time’ referees are opposed, with alternating views also encompassing the current structure employed for managing elite referees in England and the pathways utilised for referee promotion. 2 The structure of refereeing in England has developed markedly from that observed before the instigation of the ‘professional’ or ‘full-time’ referee in 2001. There are various catalysts of change that can be identified and have impacted refereeing over a concerted period of time, such as the evolution of the Football Association, the relationship between the Referees Association and the FA, changes in society such as advancement in technological provision, the growth of new media, and the advancement of referee training.

  • Football Discipline As a Barometer of Racism in English Sport and Society, 2004-2007: Spatial Dimensions
    Middle States Geographer, 2012, 44:27-35 FOOTBALL DISCIPLINE AS A BAROMETER OF RACISM IN ENGLISH SPORT AND SOCIETY, 2004-2007: SPATIAL DIMENSIONS M.T. Sullivan*1, J. Strauss*2 and D.S. Friedman*3 1Department of Geography Binghamton University Binghamton, New York 13902 2Dept. of Psychology Macalester College 1600 Grand Avenue St. Paul, MN 55105 3MacArthur High School Old Jerusalem Road Levittown, NY 11756 ABSTRACT: In 1990 Glamser demonstrated a significant difference in the disciplinary treatment of Black and White soccer players in England. The current study builds on this observation to examine the extent to which the Football Association’s antiracism programs have changed referee as well as fan behavior over the past several years. Analysis of data involving 421 players and over 10,500 matches – contested between 2003-04 and 2006-07 – indicates that a significant difference still exists in referees’ treatment of London-based Black footballers as compared with their White teammates at non-London matches (p=.004). At away matches in other London stadia, the difference was not significant (p=.200). Given the concentration of England’s Black population in the capital city, this suggests that it is fan reaction/overreaction to Black players’ fouls and dissent that unconsciously influences referee behavior. Keywords: racism, sport, home field advantage, referee discipline, match location INTRODUCTION The governing bodies of international football (FIFA) and English football (The FA or Football Association) have certainly tried to address racism in sport – a “microcosm of society.” In April of 2006, FIFA expelled five Spanish fans from a Zaragoza stadium and fined each 600 Euros for monkey chants directed towards Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o.
