@deanm1982 @deanm1982 or replace Howard Webb. Rumours are that Colina is retiring

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@HACKETTREF SG1 and SG2 were merged months ago. Watch this space re Webb though

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@HACKETTREF Wait until after the World Cup @HACKETTREF all will be resolved

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@bwoods1989 The observation process changed at the start of this season. Referee is now rewarded for being proactive rather than being reactive. Key Match Incidents do not carry much weight

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@HPFChistory @OfficialHarwich Every single one is a grassroots legend not forgetting Chairman Tony Armstrong a man who demonstrates Service before Self 👏👏

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Another night and another presentation
Last night I had the privilege of presenting Keith Ross with his @EssexCountyFA Long Service Award alongside @EssexReferees RDO Joe Greenleaf and Halstead RA President Terry Hunt

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Excellent evening at the #EssexSeniorCup @BBCEssexSport @EssexCountyFA witnessing 4 superb officiating performances and great CPD event with @FA_PGMOL referee Josh Smith. Also presented Graham Monk with his 50 Year @RefsAssociation Award

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@EssexReferees @EssexCountyFA @EssexRA @BasildonRA @ColchesterRA @SouthendRefs @ThurrockRA @AandHReferees @CentreCircleApp Thought the whole team were excellent 👏👏👏

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@mikeparry8 @premierleague @FA Thought @GNev2 was unbelievably ill informed. The comms kit is essential for VAR and 4th official to communicate with the match officials. If the so called experts don’t understand what they are used for then sack the experts

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@EssexReferees @EssexCountyFA @EssexRA @BasildonRA @ColchesterRA @SouthendRefs @ThurrockRA @AandHReferees @CentreCircleApp Looks like Alec Berry telling Starmer to move quickly after his first season in government

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@TelegraphDucker @deryll__ Having been involved in refereeing for over 30 years I have never known newly promoted officials get 2 games in a row following their first appointment. Apart from Man City supporters everyone else thought Farai was excellent

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@RefereeHalsey so disappointing to wake up and listen to Pep Guardiola bemoaning about what I thought was a brilliant performance by ex @EssexReferees Farai Hallam. In his first @premierleague game he stuck with his original decision. Superb young referee 👏👏👏

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Congratulations to all those @EssexReferees who received their email from @EssexCountyFA on their appointment to a county cup final. Almost 2000 registered referees and 110 selected 👏👏👏 On 5th February you discover which final and role you have been selected for

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@andrewc94291038 @ManUtd @WestHam @HACKETTREF @RefereeHalsey That was exactly my thought but I’d had a bottle of red wine

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Unbelievable performance from such a young referee tonight in the @ManUtd versus @WestHam game. @HACKETTREF @RefereeHalsey why are these referees from Northern England especially North East so composed and talented

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Essex Referees Promoted to Level 5 Stephan Alford, Eder Benzerrouk, George Davies, Jordan Harris, Isaac Islam, Jack Mumford, Alexander Warburton, Maxwell Young

Promoted to Level 6,Peter McCarthy, Maksym Ruban, Richard Willson, Ley Wilson

Congratulations all at @EssexReferees

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Another Tuesday night must be @BBCEssexSport @EssexCountyFA Senior Cup between @Withamtownfc and @hashtagutd with 3 excellent @EssexReferees in the staring role.

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@EssexReferees @refsupportuk @EssexCountyFA @EssexRA @BasildonRA @ColchesterRA @SouthendRefs @ThurrockRA @AandHReferees @CentreCircleApp Magnificent achievement by all. Big shout out to the relevant coaches and RDOs @LukasJamesWood @JoeGreenleaf5

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

@HPFChistory @OfficialHarwich @tonyarm03570777 I’ve known @tonyarm03570777 approximately 25 years and in all that time I’ve never heard him say a bad word about anyone. I’ve never heard a bad word said about him. Sums the gentleman up. A true believer in Service before Self

[Andy French @AndyLeeFrench]

Fantastic afternoon at @OfficialHarwich representing @EssexCountyFA with the 150 year anniversary celebrations. The magnificent gentleman Tony Armstrong receiving the @fa and @EssexCountyFA awards from Chair Andy Chaplin
