I'm not against fast-tracking officials per se, but I'd like to know the evidence behind such endorsement. Experience and training are consistent features of good officiating performance. Training, engagement, and improved support is probably where focus should be. No quick fix.

Great to see the first study from my PhD published.

The UK riots have exposed a serious flaw in how British media execs think about diversity and onscreen representation. A flaw I have been writing about since at least 2012:
Positive portrayal of racially diverse individuals vs portrayal of racially diverse communities.
A thread…

Great work by @tomlishman presenting our research work with @officialgaa match officials at the @FEPSAC_MC @fepsac2024 congress this week. Important work to inform how we can best develop and support our referees.

Incredible week at FEPSAC. Enjoyed presenting a study from my PhD at the Sports Officiating Symposium. Particular thanks to @ProfHancockMUN and Alex Pizzera. A number of excellent insights across the Congress and great to connect. Thanks to @UlsterUniPsych for the opportunity.
