Association Structure
The SFA Referees Edinburgh and District was
formed in 1952 with the aim of bringing together all football referees
in Edinburgh and surrounding districts and now
includes West Lothian, East Lothian, Midlothian and the Scottish
Borders.
We currently have over 300 members all of whom are registered with the
Scottish Football Association (SFA).

Teams
One of the themes of the Association is “teamwork”
and we
have various teams that ensure we continually develop and train
referees to the highest possible standards. Team Leaders are appointed
and co-ordinate the work done by a great many other members who
contribute valuable time and effort to the running of our Association.
Referee Instruction – Team Leader Mark Doyle
This team runs all our new
entrant
classes. Details of these classes can be found in the coaching of
this website.
Referee Coaching - Team Leader Dougie McDonald
This team is responsible for delivering coaching at monthly meetings
and is led by experienced FIFA Referee Dougie McDonald.
Development – Team Leader David McCartney
Following initial introduction to
refereeing,
our members can apply for formal development / supervision and the
Development team will come out and watch them and give coaching /
feedback on their performances. Success at this level can lead to our
members being recommended for inclusion on the SFA’s
“Register of Senior Referees” – thus
allowing them to
officiate at the lower ends of professional football in Scotland.
Further progression through the ranks is possible once this level has
been attained.
Appointments - Team Leader Peter Peace
If you are a referee without a game, then
contact the Appointments team leader. Local league secretaries are
often short of a referee and will contact the Appointments Team Leader
whose job it is to match up referees to matches. Peter is assisted by
Ralph Gordon who can be contacted if Peter is unavailable.
Constitution - Team Leader Calum Murray
Provides advice to Council when requested on matters relating to the
Constitution.
Social Team - Team Leader Mike Tumilty
Coordinates various events throughout the year including the annual
dinner usually held in mid-February.
Web Team - Team Leader Gavin Ross
Webmaster responsible for the development and maintenance of the
website. Suggestions or comments to webmaster@edinburghrefs.com
SFA Appointed Representatives
Referee Observers are appointed to undertake practical assessment
during matches and play a pivotal role
in developing referees at all grades. We currently have three
observers resident with our area: George Smith, Martin
Clark and Ian Fyfe.
Martin Clark is our Association Manager appointed to act as the link
between the
Association and the SFA while Ian Fyfe serves on the SFA Referee
Committee. Both Ian and Martin are invited to attend our Council
Meetings.
