       Memership of this forum

       I often wonder how many of SG1/2 and other Div1/2 officials  are
       members of this forum and whether all the many comments etc have
       any effect on them at all
       I know there is no way of  knowing this but I would find it
       interesting

       IIRC and I stand to be corrected, I'm sure I read on a previous
       RTR topic some time ago that the forum is monitored by somebody
       or a footballing organisation (in addition to RTR
       Admins/Moderators) but I can't remember by whom.

       some comments/suggestions/feedback might just find its way to
       the higher echelons of Refereeing.

       I agree with you Seagull. I also recall way back someone saying
       that referees at the top levels were not allowed to join forums
       such as RTR.

       A few years ago 2 PGMOL employees decided to sign up using
       aliases & had a public spat that later ended up in court. Aside
       of the forum ending up all over the national media, I had to go
       to court for that one.  There's also been a few disciplinary
       hearings over the years, I've seen as many of those as some of
       the discipline committee, throw in a few, mainly young academy
       refs revealing FIFA/UEFA appointments early and nearly costing
       our FIFA refs appointments and more libel/defamation threats of
       legal action against us than VAR can ever hope of making correct
       interventions, amongst other things has seen us get monitored.
       The forum has changed a lot over the years, it used to be
       hostile and aggressive. The current admin team have worked very
       hard to clean it up and get it to the much nicer place it is
       now.
