Clubs - Looking after Referees

 

Clubs are reminded of the following, which will hopefully assist them in looking after their referees on and off the pitch.

 
bullet

Every game needs a referee. Each club, player and spectator has a responsibility to look after them and respect their decisions, regardless of whether they agree with the decision.

bullet

A referee is in charge of a game from the moment he/she arrives at a ground.

bullet

Where possible the AFC will provide a league appointed referee for each game.

bullet

If the league cannot provide a referee for a game, it is the responsibility of the home team to provide a referee (see league rule 13).

bullet

If a referee does not turn up for a game, it is the responsibility of both clubs to agree a referee (see league rule 13).

bullet

Referees will make decisions honestly and impartially to the best of their ability.

bullet

Referees won't be correct 100% of the time, but their decision is final.

bullet

Referees are encouraged to give pre-match Spirit of Football briefings to teams.

bullet

Referees should check boots, shin guards and jewellery before games.

bullet

Referees will generally endeavour to arrive at the game at least 30 minutes before kickoff.
