"Just wanted to say this thread was really useful"
I write mostly for myself but I have to admit it's a nice feeling when something I wrote helped another referee make a good call...
A couple days ago, I attended a DOGSO/SPA clinic. I posted the notes here.
I only have a handful of subscribers and I thought they might be helpful for other referees. So I also posted the notes to RefChat.

It got a few comments and good feedback.
But my favorite comment was from one SammyT5.
Just wanted to say this thread was really useful. Came in handy tonight on a controversial but 100% DOGSO call I made, so thank you.
Takeaway: A lot of what I write here is for myself. It’s meant to be a diary of my journey as a growing and driven referee.
But if others read it and find it helpful, that’s cool too.
It’s really cool to hear something I posted actually helped another referee make the right call in their game.
Any impact this blog can have is awesome and I’m here for it.
