We had a lot of fun recording our live episode with some great guests. We had Mike from The Referee Circle and Martyn Gospel who is a great guy! We also chatted to Burtie who is a huge supporter of our podcast. Have a listen back.

Steve Ross, an ex-Lincolnshire FA referee was flying through the system. He reached the National League of referees and was going places. The next place he went was Cyprus and that was the end of his refereeing career at the top level.

Does he regret it? What were the career highs and lows? Find out in this week's episode.

From a lad taking his first steps in refereeing to a lad taking it seriously and flying through the levels. What changed the mindset of Ralph Seckington? What are his ambitions and what is he going to do about it? Listen to the chat we had this week on the podcast. Make sure you listen in to this week's quiz! It is A CLASSIC!

Ref Dad joins us on this week's podcast! Following a career in coaching, which took him to America, he came back and realised that coaching was no longer for him.

This has led to a career in refereeing and a 10 year plan but what does this entail? Have a listen to this week's episode and let us know what you think!

In this week's episode, I talk to Shaun Barry about his career in football. Shaun was a grassroots player who, by his own admission, was a bit of a hatchet man kicking anything that moved. In his own words, he spent more time suspended than he did playing. How did he make the transition from player to referee? Find out in this week's episode.

What is in a referee mindset? What are the small changes you can make to move up to the next level or move up within a level? We talk to Aaron Lloyd about the changes he has made since being on FA CORE and since starting as a young referee. We are joined by Alex Compton on the quiz too. Can he move up the ladder?

This week we are joined by UON journalist Tom Toseland and we discuss the media portrayal of referee David Coote. Does he deserve the reaction he has received or is it a mistake that can be rectified? Does the media help in these situations or do they make the situation worse? The boys chat in depth about this.
