Re: Launch of Assoc., of Elite Sports Officials ( AESO
An easy target no doubt, to be attacked from all quarters, but anyhting that helps, or even attempts to help the officating standard can only be a good thing in my book. So long as it doesn't just turn into a propoganda machine.
There is far too much talk about good ball and bad ball.
In my opinion, good ball is when you have possession and bad ball is when the opposition have it.

COMMENTS ON THE LAUNCH OF AESO
David Elleray, Chairman of AESO (former Premiership and international football referee):
There is enormous mutual respect between the match officials of different sports, and the formation of AESO enables us to learn from each other in a more structured manner. I'm delighted that we have received the support of our respective governing bodies, who see the very tangible benefits involved in cross-sport projects of this kind. While each sport has its own specific challenges and demands, there are many aspects of refereeing that cut across sports and that is the platform we will build on. We have started with the full-time officials in football, cricket and both rugby codes, but anticipate the organisation growing to include senior part-time officials as well as representatives from other sports.
Lord David Triesman, Chairman of The Football Association:
I warmly welcome the formation of the AESO. Elite officials should have the support and resource across sports of those who face similar challenges. How officials come into sport, what they learn and how they stay involved is critical to all of us who love our particular game and sporting fairness in general.
Ed Morrison, Head of Elite Referee Development at the Rugby Football Union:[/b]
On behalf of all Elite Referees in Rugby Union we're delighted that this initiative has been introduced. All sports can learn from each other and I'm looking forward to working closely and exchanging ideas with football, cricket and rugby league.
Stuart Cummings, Match Officials Director at the Rugby Football League: This is an extremely positive move as it is an initiative where by ideas and innovations can be shared to improve officiating standards and recruitment of match officials in all sports.
Chris Kelly, Umpires Manager at the England & Wales Cricket Board:
While the world of sport continues to evolve the officials; role needs to be given as much support as possible to allow the officials development to keep pace with the evolution. The AESO is well suited to support this development by providing opportunities for officials to share best practice and to confront the challenges in their sports with new perspectives. The AESO has an opportunity to shape the public perception of officiating which is key to recruitment and retention in all sports.
