Veteran Skipper Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just a query really... does the duchy league have any rule about whether you have to have an assistant ref / linesperson with a qualification?? I know from my time playing for clubs in the senior leagues that this was the case, infact I actually took the course run by the FA to be qualified ( as such ) referees assistant while I was manager of a Duchy 3 side. ( several years ago now ) The reason for asking is that from the beginning of the season there seems to be a lot of people running the line that do not know the rules, especially the offside rule.

B Manning Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 A look through the Duchy handbook states "All Premier Division teams shall provide a Club Assistant referee", faiiure to do so will result in a fine, I read into that as he should be qualified and not one of the substitutes. All other divisions use who they can get to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willser ! Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 B Manning is correct in his statement, although any player who is a qualified assistant can still run the line if they are a substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veteran Skipper Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Their called Lino's. Nowadays, the official term is assistant referee But yes, Lino is a term used as well as many other names muttered under my breath!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Rundle Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 They're only termed "Assistant referees" when they're independent. If supplied by the club the official term is still "club linesman" (Or i guess lineswoman/linesperson?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Manning Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well Richard, I have always refered to them as assistants long before the FA redesignated them that way and that includes club assistants because that is what they are, they are there to assist.

If supplied by the club the official term is still "club linesman" (Or i guess lineswoman/linesperson?" Regardless of who they are or where they come from, if they are running the line, they are assistant referees. And I quote........ Assistant Referee: A qualified referee who has been appointed by a league or competition to perform an active role as an assistant to the referee from the commencement of the game. Assistant Referee attached to a Club: Does not have to be a qualified referee. However, in some cases he may be. The referee will base his response to such an official according to the level of experience of the assistant who may have received training in his county to fulfil this role. This was taken from the FA Learning : A guide to Assistant Referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
