upervisors of that day which could be very intimidating for an official;

Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Sam Allardyce could use different tactics at international level to those with which he has made his name as a club manager. Allardyce is expected to be confirmed as England manager on Thursday, taking over from Roy Hodgson, who left the role after the national side was knocked out of Euro 2016 by Iceland. How England chose Sam A look at the men charged with appointing the new England boss The 61-year-old Sunderland boss has faced criticism throughout his career for what some believe to be an overly defensive and direct style of play. But Eriksson, who managed England between 2001 and 2006, feels that has been a necessity because clubs Allardyce has taken charge of have often been fighting relegation and that it will be different in the international arena. Allardyce is expected to be confirmed as the new England manager on Thursday Sam has been there for a long, long time and hes done a good job wherever hes been, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Hes very organised so that will be a very organised team I suppose. So why not? Good luck, Sam.If you take a team from the lower part of the table, you have to adapt what you want to do. You have to defend and be organised or you will go down. Sunderlands 3-0 win at Hartlepool is likely to be Allardyces last game in charge So I think it depends on the situation, whether you have a top team, a middle team or a bottom team.Many times Sam has managed a team that has been struggling for survival and he has done the job.Eriksson accepts dealing with the English press can be a difficult part of the job but feels Allardyce has enough experience to be able to handle such pressure. Kevin Davies thinks Allardyce will bring a winning mentality, pride and passion to the England managers job I don t think Sam needs any advice, he said. I know that for many years he has wanted that job. He knows the English press well and that is the least pleasant part of the job.But he will do a good job. I hope so. Im sure he will.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, In the Boston-Buffalo game on Wednesday night in the second period, Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers slashes Bruins forward Brad Marchand and then punches him in the head! How and why does Marchand get the penalty, with no call on Myers? He then scores a go-ahead goal! My question would be - does a supervising official between periods give the refs the talking down a player would get from his coach? This call could cost a team two points on very questionable officiating! Thanks,Ken MacAskill Ken: Both you and broadcast analyst Joe Micheletti made the correct call on this play. At the very least the Bruins and Sabres should have been playing four men aside as a result of the altercation between Tyler Myers and Brad Marchand. In a perfect world, Myers deserved an extra minor penalty as the aggressor in this incident following his slash and punch at Marchand. You asked how and why, only Brad Marchand received the penalty on this play. The trailing referee is responsible for all players behind the Sabres blue line. As the Sabres went on the attack from their end zone, Marchand cut across the ice toward his bench for a line change and in doing so skated directly in front of Myers. The altercation began when Marchand dropped his hip toward Myers who responded with a cross-check shove, a slash by each player and then the Myers punch. At this point play was stopped to assess a penalty. The camera picked up the trailing referee with his arm raised and approaching the two players on an angle back from the neutral zone toward Tyler Myers and Brad Marchand. From the referees angle of return it is apparent to me that he had vacated the Sabres end zone prior to players clearing that zone and failed to recognize and observe the hot spot between Marchand and Myers. I dont believe the ref saw the start of the altercation but picked it up when Brad Marchand jammed his stick into Myers midsection. He therefore deemed Marchand to be the instigator of the scrum. The easy call should have been to penalize both players for their actions. Unfortunately that didnt take place and resulted in a Tyler Myers power-play goal. Officiating managers (supervisors) very seldom enter the officials room between periods unless something extremely serious has gone afoul. Instead, the manager will review his observations and game report with the officiaals at the conclusion of the game.dddddddddddd In certain cases, depending upon travel schedules or a perceived need, a follow-up telephone call or even breakfast meeting might take place with an official. Typically though any instruction/coaching will take place in the officials dressing room after the game. There was a time when supervisors entered the room between periods but team management objected to this practice when they felt the officials approach to the game changed to drastically following between period instructions. I dont agree with this practice in principle, but whenever the conversation does take place the supervisors proper approach and coaching techniques are vital in advancing the officials learning curve. When I observe a Division I College game for my former colleague and referee-in-chief of the ECAC Paul Stewart, I always visit the officials room between periods; if for no other reason but to be supportive and available should they have any questions. My approach is always to be positive and point out the good things they did but also to make them aware of any potential hot spots that might develop in addition to any positioning issues I feel the need to address. The game can certainly look different from the press box or the television monitor than it does at ice level. In a flash from the past, when I first signed a contract with the NHL there was a different and much more aggressive approach taken by the supervisors of that day which could be very intimidating for an official; especially a young one. Team general managers were not fined for approaching the officials room and shouting matches often took place in the hall outside the refs room. Supervisors were subjected to angry rants from team personnel in the press box which could result in a between period visit to the officials room by a supervisor. I can tell you there were trash cans kicked around the officials room and rolled up programs thrown at the wall in some of these "coaching" sessions. As you can imagine they werent very productive from a teaching perspective but could have a profound effect on how the next period was officiated! In todays fast paced game the two referee two linesman system is mandatory. An influx of younger officials has been hired to the staff when the veterans retire. Enhanced coaching and mentoring techniques are required to quicken the learning curve that takes place in addition to holding all the officials accountable to the expected standard. This is a work in progress. ' ' '
