REFEREE RECRUITMENT Want to become a referee?
The Football Association of Wales is always seeking to recruit new referees, both male and female . Referees courses are held in all areas of Wales under the jurisdiction of the local Associations . Once the course is satisfactorily completed individuals concerned will be able to progress through the system, and even progress to the FIFA International list of Referees and Assistant Referees, which gives them the opportunity to Officiate in all parts of Europe and on occasion in other parts of the world . There are many advantages of becoming a Referee, particularly it gives the opportunity for physical activity, with a consequent improvement in health and fitness . Please visit the FAW website for further information: http://www.becomearef.wales/
www.cymrufootball.wales 57 PROTECTING THE IMAGE OF THE GAME gwarchod Y Gem cymdeithas bel-droed cymru
58 www.cymrufootball.wales PROTECTING THE IMAGE OF THE GAME
Gwarchod y Gêm Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru Every stakeholder has a vested interest in protecting the image of the game, both on and off the field, and the primary responsibility lies with three components: Referees, Managers / Coaches and Players . It is these individuals, whom it could be argued, are the vital core ingredients of making the game we all love, an attractive and entertaining spectacle, which brings the paying spectator in through the turnstiles . We can PROTECTING ensure success through working together to gain a mutual respect and adopting a responsible, measured approach to protecting the image of the game . THE IMAGE PLAYER CONDUCT Whilst it clearly has to be understood that under the Laws of the Game the Captain has no special status or privileges, they do a have a degree of responsibility for the behaviour of their team . Good management by Referees will see them communicating messages such as, “Your Number Two is getting on my nerves, I suggest you sort him out before I have to”, or “Have a word with your Number Nine otherwise he’s going OF THE GAME to get in to trouble” to the Captain . This is effective game management provided there is a positive and respectful approach to communication received by the parties concerned .
It has to be stressed at this point that there are occasions in which offences, which when committed, will result in an immediate disciplinary sanction of either a caution or a sending off . In these instances the gwarchod captain will have no bearing on the matter whatsoever . Managers and Players are reminded that the Referee must control the game by applying the Laws of the Game and to this effect he will deal firmly with any open show of dissent . Y Gem There will be changes in this respect in that the Referees are under instruction not to back off by walking away or turning a blind eye / deaf ear to confrontational behaviour or dissent . They will deal with it positively and effectively at all times .
Players (including Captains), showing open dissent will be cautioned and players (again including Captains), who show dissent using offensive, insulting or abusive language (including gestures), will be sent from the cymdeithas field of play, as per the laws of the game .
Players who run from a distance to protest will be dealt with in a similar manner so the message is simple; “Don’t get involved!” Assistant Referees and 4th Officials will be reminded of their responsibilities of identifying such offenders and subsequently informing the Referee It has become apparent that certain bel-droed teams are using the tactic of orchestrating several players to surround the Referee when a decision has gone against them and this practice has to stop . Should this be the case, then two things will happen .
Firstly, the relevant offending players will be cautioned and secondly the Referee will report the Club concerned to the FAW Compliance department for failing to control their players which could result in cymru further action to be taken against the Club . Hopefully this action will not need to be taken with the proviso that the club management and players understand their part and respond in a positive and mature manner .
Let us not forget that an appeal is within the spirit of the Law however dissent is not . It is not the intention to stop players making genuine appeals but there has to be a clear line which must not be crossed over into a situation of dissent . For example, if a player feels they should have been awarded a penalty but is denied yet proceeds to chase after the Referee then play would be stopped and result in a caution issued and an indirect free kick awarded to the opposition .It would be appropriate to remind all concerned that dissent towards an Assistant Referee (or Fourth Official when appointed), will be dealt with in the same way .
www.cymrufootball.wales 59 Something which has become an irritant in the game is the way in which players jostle for position at the taking of corner kicks or attacking free kicks into the penalty area . Referees will be pro-active before the ball is played in by warning the players concerned and reminding them of their responsibilities . If the players ignore the advice given when the ball is delivered into play then either a penalty kick will be awarded or a free kick will be given to the defending team .
It should be acknowledged that if there is improved player conduct towards the match officials, then the game will become a better family spectacle, which is the main message to be delivered in marketing the game .
There is great concern in relation to the escalating use of what many people both in and out of the game commonly refer to as “Foul and Abusive Language” . In the Laws of the Game it is referred to as, “Offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures” and it is time to take steps to drastically reduce the language used .
It is unrealistic to believe it will be eradicated completely, for when a player stubs his toe or misses an open goal he is likely to use an expletive in frustration . What has to be stamped out is the use of such language being shouted across the field of play which can be clearly heard by everyone in the ground . There is a clear and understandable perception that this is not being dealt with properly and Referees are reminded quite emphatically, that in such circumstances the Law must be applied and no longer can a “blind eye” or “deaf ear” be tolerated in such situations . TECHNICAL AREAS
Managers need to be in control of their behaviour and that of their coaching staff .
If a Manager or member of the coaching team leaves the Technical Area to berate either the Referee, Assistant Referee or Fourth Official in a very public way and in contravention of the Laws of the Game they will be removed to the stand, take no further part in managing / coaching duties and subsequently reported to the Football Association of Wales .
The words to remember here are “very public way” and “contravention of the Laws of the Game” . We all know what is and not acceptable . A Manager / Coach who clearly contravenes this aspect of the regulations will be removed and reported accordingly .
It is worth reminding all parties concerned that the Manager / Coach who is animated and seen to be waving their arms about in an aggressive manner, or indeed turning to the crowd with arms out, seeking support or sympathy, is clearly attempting to undermine the Referee’s authority and will be cautioned or sent off accordingly .
Conversely, a Manager / Coach who stands on the edge of the Technical Area occasionally putting a foot outside isn’t going to be removed but will be reminded of the requirements of Law . The days of discussing decisions with the Technical Area personnel during the game have gone and Match Officials are reminded that it is not appropriate to, for example, put your arm around them as if you are old mates, or indeed to patronise them .
Only one person at a time is authorised to stand in, and convey tactical instructions from the technical area .
60 www.cymrufootball.wales PROTECTING THE IMAGE OF THE GAME
Gwarchod y Gêm Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru If a member of the coaching team is shown a red card, they are to be sent from the Technical Area to the dressing room . The exception to this are Physios, who can remain to treat injuries, and any further acts of misconduct from them will be reported to the FAW .
All occupants of the area must be named on the COMET system prior to kick off and handed to the match officials . Personnel are not permitted to alternate between viewing positions during the course of the game and can only enter or leave the area during the half time interval .
The use of any form of electronic communication equipment by team officials is permitted where it directly relates to player welfare or safety or for tactical/coaching reasons but only small, mobile, hand- held equipment (e .g . microphone, headphone, ear-piece, mobile phone/smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, laptop) may be used . A team official who uses unauthorised equipment or who behaves in an inappropriate manner as a result of the use of electronic or communication equipment will be dismissed from the technical area .
The above applies to the whole technical area .

62 www.cymrufootball.wales PITCH INSPECTIONS ARCHWILIO MEYSYDD
PITCH GUIDELINES & PROTOCOL Each Club must take every precaution to ensure that its ground is in a fit playing condition .
When the regional weather conditions are known to be extreme (e g. . prolonged severe frost, clear water logging or heavy snow) then the game can be postponed at the discretion of the League following INSPECTIONS consultation with the appropriate League Secretary / Officer, League Rules will apply . Should a Competition decide to agree to an early postponement under such circumstances there will be no requirement for a pitch inspection .
In all other circumstances and subject to the time and travelling distance, the match Referee should be archwilio called in to make a decision . In the event of the match Referee being unable to carry out the inspection, the League must select an alternative Referee listed within the National List of Referees should it not be possible to identify an appropriate Match Official; the Appointing Authority will determine a suitable person to carry out the inspection . meysydd Clubs should make every effort regarding the fitness of the pitch and should in such circumstances the home Club Secretary should inform their opponents that a pitch inspection is to take place .
Prior to reaching a decision the Referee who is making the inspection must: 1: Consult with the match Referee prior to the inspection 2: Consult with the match Referee during / after the inspection to mutually agree on a decision prior to notifying the Home Club Secretary or Club Chairman and the appropriate League Secretary (or Chairman if the Secretary is not available) .
Prior to reaching a decision the Referee who is making the inspection should consider the following: 1: Whether or not the ground (playing area) is dangerous (e .g . ice / frost) 2: Whether or not that the spectator standing areas are dangerous (e .g . ice / frost) 3: Whether or not conditions are or could turn farcical 4: The views of the Home Club Groundsman in terms of local knowledge and draining capabilities in the event of standing water 5: The existing condition of the playing surface in conjunction with the prevailing weather conditions as previously confirmed with the local weather authority .
The inspecting Referee should be seen to be active! Adhere to deadlines, keep all informed; especially the away Team Manager if he is on route and can be contactable (home club will have the Secretary’s mobile number); or if the away Club are in a hotel locally . If they are within a reasonable time/distance from the ground it is only courtesy that the Referee awaits their arrival .
Inspect thoroughly! A professional approach must be adopted when carrying out an inspection . It is not acceptable for a Referee just to take a cursory look at the field of play in normal dress (i .e . Suit /Blazer etc .) . Sports kit should be worn, along with appropriate footwear (i .e . football boots) .
www.cymrufootball.wales 63 The FAW and Cymru Leagues recommended procedure for the guidance of Clubs and Referees in determining the suitability of grounds in adverse weather conditions. wpl.cymru
All areas of the pitch should be inspected . A ball should be used to determine whether the surface is playable (for movement and bounce) .
Fog creates its’ own problems. A Referee should use perspectives from ground level and the backof a stand - check forecast (remember that there is a responsibility to paying spectators) .
When dealing with such elements as frost or ice – remember that the highest temperature of the day is usually around mid-day . Get a forecast if necessary of the projected temperature for the time when the match is due to conclude .
The manpower available to the Home Club to carry out any necessary work to make the ground playable The time the visiting Club are due to commence their journey .
Liaise with Managers BUT the decision as to whether the match is played is the Referees.
If an early inspection has not been carried out and the match Referee arrives at the ground to find the playing onditions in doubt due to unexpected deterioration in the weather, he should first consider as many of the above points before committing himself to a decision .
In the event of a pitch inspection being carried out by a Referee other than the match Referee, a fee of £30 00. will be paid by the League or Competition .
If the appointed Match Officials have reported to the ground, they are entitled to their expenses plus half their match fee if the match is not played .
If the game is postponed following the inspection, either by the match Referee or another Referee, the Delegate appointed, must also be informed .
