Description

Former UEFA and FAI referee Tomas Connolly chats about the highs and lows of being a referee at football's highest level. The lows being assaulted on the pitch and abuse aimed at family members. And the highs including officiating at some of the biggest stadiums in the UEFA Champions League. Tomas gives fascinating "behind the scenes” insights into what the life of being a referee looks like, an area most football fans know very little about.
