Other Facts of Note
Joslin has never refereed a Premier League match, despite the number of years he has been at the higher levels of refereeing, and is due to retire at the end of the 2007–08 season. He has, however, operated as fourth official in the Premiership, such as during the Birmingham versus Liverpool match at St. Andrews on 12 February 2005, for Howard Webb, and the Liverpool versus Middlesbrough encounter at Anfield on 18 April 2007, for Graham Poll.
Through affiliation, he was the County Referees Officer for the Derbyshire County Football Association (rather than Nottinghamshire) until 2008, when he became Referee Development Officer for the Lincolnshire Football Association. He holds a Level 3 FA Referees Coaching qualification, and was a tutorial participant in the FA Young Referees' Conference at Staverton Park, Daventry, Northants, on 31 May 2007.
Phil has now taken up position as one of the new Referee Development Officers at Lincolnshire FA.

Famous quotes containing the words facts and/or note:
“Each truth that a writer acquires is a lantern, which he turns full on what facts and thoughts lay already in his mind, and behold, all the mats and rubbish which had littered his garret become precious. Every trivial fact in his private biography becomes an illustration of this new principle, revisits the day, and delights all men by its piquancy and new charm.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There was a saviour
Rarer than radium,
Commoner than water, crueller than truth;
Children kept from the sun
Assembled at his tongue
To hear the golden note turn in a groove....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
