Eric Edge was an academy goalkeeper whose career took him to America. He continued playing at a semi-professional level in England before deciding to take up the whistle but what made him make that decision?

We chat to Eric about the challenges of a move into officiating along his hobby of documenting much of his work on social media. Eric has his own pages on YouTube and Instagram and shares his thoughts about social media.

As usual, we talk referee development and all about the latest goings-on in the world of football.

This week's special guest is the 'Grassroots Guy' himself Rohan Anund. His team have developed the wonderful app called Centre Circle which has revolutionised referee appointing and support.

We talk all about how the app was started, developed and what it has in store for us in the future. Rohan talks all about his love for football and how his passion for grassroots football drives him to ensure the app continues to grow and create success.

As usual, we have chat all about the latest refereeing decisions and some development advice around positioning and dissent.

Some brilliant discussion this week. Are we in an observer crisis? Is the future, talent identification? James 'Slim' Campbell is Regional Co-ordinator for CORE and a former observer. He talks candidly about his love of the game, love of refereeing and what he would have done differently if he had been coaching himself.

Legend is a name given to many these days but in this case it is richly deserved. This week we are joined by Bryan Lewin MBE. Bryan has spent a lifetime in football from playing and coaching, to secretarial work to his current position as a Director at the NFA.

Join us as we also discuss all of the latest refereeing news and views including the Michael Oliver incident in the Merseyside Derby.

Krister Halvorsen touches down this week (see what I did there?) as he talks all things American Football. Krister started out as a football referee before being invited to watch some training of the American Football game.

Fast forward a few years, and a Wembley and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium appearance later and he educates Wayne and Luke all about the game!

The boys also talk about all of the latest incidents and Wayne has a rant about hoovers of all things! He also dedicates a special section to Kyle...

Join us once again for our 93rd episode of the podcast where we are joined by Stuart Lathan.

Stuart has not only had success in refereeing but was also a successful manager and coach in local football before he made the jump into officiating.

Controversial at times, Stuart gives us his honest opinions on refereeing and why he feels that Sunday football is a struggle.

We were privileged to be joined by SETH GALIA, the newest FIFA referee on our live episode this week. We spoke about his journey to the top and the challenges he faced along the way.

We were also joined by our regular panel guest MIKE from the Referee Circle and by ELIOT from Whistlestopfooty. We discussed all the latest controversial topics including the red card from the Arsenal v Wolves game.

An unexpected email changed Imy Gates' life forever. She was a footballer playing at a good level when the opportunity to become a match official came about.

Two years later and Imy has her sights on the top levels of the female game. A self-confessed 'physical centre-half' she talks with enthusiasm about her future goals and how playing has helped support her refereeing.

This week we had young referee Brooklyn on our podcast who at the age of 17 is already loving his refereeing experience. Based in Northern Ireland, he talks to us about short time in the National Referee Academy, his time at the Iber Cup and his hopes for the future.

We also discuss the key talking points of the week.

Should Bergvall have been sent off?

Were Arsenal lucky to get a penalty?

What did the referee see to give that corner to Aston Villa?

Is there such thing as a 4G pitch and who should inspect artificial surfaces?

Join us this week to find out!

Another friend from the world of social media joins us this week! Whistlestopfooty talks to us about his journey into refereeing and his work in America.

We discuss all the latest incidents from the weekend's games and talk about pitch inspections following a cold and wet January weekend!
