Applying the rules
The most important role for all sporting officials is to have a
thorough knowledge of the rules and regulations of the sport
that they are officiating, and to apply them correctly.
Correct application of the regulations
ensures that the game is competed
fairly by all players. It may also be
necessary for officials to interpret
the rules and to apply them
confidently to a situation.
This requires that officials are always alert, and in the best
position possible to make the correct decision.
In addition, decisions must be made fairly and without bias.

Communication
It is essential in competitive situations that the officials
communicate effectively both with players and with each other.
Each individual official in a sport is
part of a team, and therefore clear
communication between officials
is key to a successful performance.
In addition, officials must
confidently communicate all
decisions to the players in order to
control the game and command the
respect of the players.
Who else is effective communication important for?

Respect campaign
Everyone involved in football has a responsibility to respect
each other. In August 2008, the Football Association
introduced the Respect programme. The campaign aims to
stamp out physical and verbal abuse in football, and to
promote a safe and enjoyable environment in which a football
match can take place.
The programme targets everyone involved
in football at every level, from players and
officials to spectators and commentators.
In the 2009–10 season, yellow cards for
dissent in the Premier League and Football
League were down by 9%, and there was a
40% improvement of the experience of the
game at grass-roots level.
