Thanks, that's very interesting, Graham Scott comes across
really well and the presenter and ex-player were very fair.

I’ve only heard the first half hour and so far, what an
excellent listen. Graham doesn’t seem to present the bitter and
twisted way his colleagues often do once they speak to the
media, he is open and honest whilst maintaining a sense of being
genuine and the presenters help the conversation by being
constructive. An excellent listen, highly recommend to everyone.

Agree, he has been a breath of fresh air compared to the likes
of Halsey, Hackett and even Clattenburg. He has also written a
series of blog posts that can be seen here

Finally got around to this and Graham Scott comes across well.
I've been reading his blog for a while and really enjoy it. As
rustyref said a breath of fresh air. I love his emphasis on
referee mental health, something we all know is a huge passion
of mine. Compassion and empathy combined with honesty - a rarity
an amongst the all too many sniping over inflated egos fighting
to be the most controversial or most hateful.
I've only met him a handful of times, enough to qualify as maybe
a vague acquaintance and he always came across as a thoroughly
decent man. Very quietly spoken, polite and pleasant and happy
to chat refereeing. Reading his blog and listening to him speak
reinforce that impression of him. Would be nice to have a chat
with him once the mental health and wellbeing program I am
currently setting up at BAMREF is further along the way.
