Sorry not interested Todd

[Nobby]

So its a sort of football Referees Ofsted?

Vested?

 

[A1X]

Hell yes, imagine if we controlled VAR, we could take over the world

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Surprised to see it requires 'strong attention to detail'. No evidence seen recently.

Should have included ' passionate about achieving fair outcomes'.

Identifying talent part of the role, how much talent is required? I appreciate referees on the pitch have a tough job, but sat watching incidents from multiple angles, with an assistant referee, should be a f***ing doddle.

....on way to the interview

 

[Midget]

It's so tempting.

What if we all swamped them with applications as a protest. Relevant experience: none, but can't do much worse than who's there already.

 

[Carlos BC]

I thought the desirable part was interesting:

Desirable:

· Experience of working in a football or NGB environment.
· Experience of professional-level football refereeing.
· Experience in a sports-related management role.
· 'Big Six' Bias
· Proven ability in ordering Pizzas for half time refreshments

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome visually impaired and blind applicants.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

They could just pick someone off the street at random, and it'd be a guaranteed improvement

 

[murciagull]

Manchester, Liverpool or North London Post code an advantage.

But can you draw a straight line?

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Interesting, though. Is this a new role, or has someone else "left their job"? And does it mean that whilst we've been wailing and whining like wronged toddlers at the injustice of it all, the grown-ups have been quietly going about the business of looking for broader fixes?

 

[5Ways Gull]

"Formed in 2001 to improve refereeing standards". Oh dear

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I have a very loose understanding of the rules of football and am two or three prescriptions away from being legally blind.

I’ll rule myself out as I’m overly qualified.

 

[dazzer6666]

But can you draw a straight line?

‘Must provide own ruler’ ?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It loos like an admin job to me. They won't be making VAR decisions. Nothing to see here
