Hello Neil
Thank you for your e-mail, we acknowledge your comments.
Whilst the EFL are not always able to comment on specific match officials or decisions, it is relevant to clarify that Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) is responsible for the selection, training and coaching of match officials across the professional game. As I am sure you can appreciate, with only one chance to view every incident, from one position and no benefit of replays, the modern referee has a sometimes-difficult task in trying to spot every single incident that occurs on the field of play, whether this be due to the proximity of the ball to players, the position of the referee, or other players obscuring views of the officials. There is a process in place for officials to be assessed on their performances by way of match observers reports and Club Officials feedback, which helps to create a merit list by which they are selected.
Upon review, referees in the EFL are getting a very high percentage of match decisions correct, however we do appreciate some decisions can be frustrating for supporters at times.
Following each match, Clubs have the opportunity to speak to the Referee Manager to discuss specific incidents and provide any further feedback
Thank you for contacting the EFL, we appreciate you getting in touch and hope we have been able to clarify the process involved.
Oh well!
