He was well regarded as one of the best of his time and shares some of his experiences, advice, and opinions on the current state of refereeing. Mark describes how he got on with players and coaches really well during his time as a ref and you can tell why in this video. He is super friendly, very chatty and is clearly very passionate about improving the standard of officiating in the professional game.Mark currently resides in Spain but is still very much involved in the game. One of my favourite conversations to date! He even pulled me up and threatened to give me a red card, after I (twice), referred to the 'rules' and not the 'laws'. We speak about VAR, handballs, law changes and some of Marks experiences.You can follow Mark on Twitter here - https://twitter.com/RefereeHalsey?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorMore great guests on the way too, so don't forget to subscribe!◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Introduction1:51 - Mark Joins and gives overview, what he's up to now6:50 - His playing days and getting into officiating16:01 - Ex-players as referees19:39 - Mark's other jobs before becoming full-time22:17 - The average week of a professional referee31:17 - What makes a good referee, and the current standard36:07 - VAR42:36 - Handball44:26 - Making mistakes as a ref47:19 - Post match interviews for refs?50:21 - Dealing with abuse53:31 - Getting stick from players and managers 55:58 - Twitter and supporting QPR58:30 - Hypothetical law changes1:02:39 - Memorable games, and favourite stadium and goal1:06:55 - Advice for aspiring referees1:08:02 - What's next for Mark and where to find him◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️CONNECT WITH ME🌎 Website: https://www.chris-gill.com 👨🏼‍💻 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgilluk/ 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZocCdjxjdVJZjO4UNNNew 🆇 X/Twitter: https://x.com/chrisgill_UK FREE RESOURCES📋 Football CV Template – https://cvtemplate.chris-gill.com/download 📝 Cover Letter Template - https://coverletter.chris-gill.com/download 📚 Ultimate list of sports analysis/coaching books - https://books.chris-gill.com/download PAID RESOURCES🐍 Learn PYTHON for football analysis – https://courses.mckayjohns.com/courses/football-analytics-course?ref=3f7c5c ⚽️ Football Analysis Education (Gill10 for 10% off) – https://apfa.io/course/ref/chrisgill_UK/ 📊 Become a data analyst with Data Camp: https://datacamp.pxf.io/WqBZGA
