Hello ******,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Generally speaking, the EFL receives numerous queries and complaints regarding individual officials’ decisions and their overall performances. While we are not always able to comment on specific incidents, we can advise that the performances of all officials are constantly monitored by way of club and match observer reports, match videos and footage received by the referees’ coaches. Matches are analysed by the Referees' Manager, a referees’ coach and the referee, and these assessments can have an impact on future appointments.

It is important to note that all referees at professional level are trained to a high standard and within that training are measures to ensure all referees perform with integrity. All officials at SG1, SG2 and within the National list have undergone many years training and development to reach these levels, at all times being subject to PGMOL requirements relating to integrity and transparency.

In all situations the decision of the referee is final although post-match Clubs do have the opportunity to mark the referee’s performance and raise any issues with the Referees’ Manager and open dialogue between the Clubs and PGMOL is encouraged.

Thank you for contacting the EFL.

Kind Regards

Danny

But they're wrong, it was a blatant pen.
Stroud is a cunt.

i just noticed that andy davies was the ref for our game against bristol lol.
