I can’t believe Tuchel or someone else didn’t get sent off. Lots of managers would have gone nuts.
Did he really blow the whistle and kill that before the shot?
This last Sunday I was playing site coordinator for 4 fields, all club games between U13 and U19. Nothing at all is happening and I’m sitting...
It’s not been a good 24 hours for English VARs. Or more specifically the system in which England uses their VARs.
One of the big differences is the reaction of the opposing players. Both rushed in to challenge the defender immediately. In the game before...
Thats been a fun 4 minutes. And now Ter Stagen is pushing things.
The amount of shithousery Arteta is allowed to get away with just astounds me. 43’ and AVL had a throw in just at the corner of his technical...
You aren’t a real AR until you have tried to stop on a muddy line and gone down with arms , legs and flags all flying in different directions.
No doubt. It’s a no win call either way. Call it and it’s a ticky tack penalty. Don’t call it and you are looking the other way.
Ummm…that’s exactly the reverse of what I think. Thats not a kid penalty. In a kid game that’s being ignored. That’s a professional one. If you...
We have two schools with 120 yd x 80 yd fields. They are killers.
HS fields are nice. Now middle school and junior high…don’t get me started. Those begin next week. I would just as soon forget those games ever...
The most dangerous thing in the world is an 18 year old playing their last HS game in a sport. If they aren’t going on to college to play they...
We have a private HS we service where the field is so narrow they cannot paint a normal 18 yd penalty area. It would literally be on the touch...
I’m pretty sure it’s: You are an assignor. You know if you need more referees. It’s your job to find more.
I didn’t realize there was a “referee growth strategy”.
3’ in and he’s already decided not to punish SPA
Two bad HS games. One I heard about and one I watched. First one. I’m still trying to put pieces together but boys, 2nd round of playoffs. One...
The college town I live in is hosting Mexico v Brazil in a friendly on June 8. The stadium seats 105,000. I really want to go. I also really...
Texas - players are on a point system Red = 5 points, yellow = 1 5 points = 1 game suspension 10 points = 2 games 15 points = 3 games Coaches...
Teams, leagues, everyone here would choke on that number. Not that my mercenary bad side would be opposed to it. It’s not the assigning. It’s...
It looked to me like they got this right. It hit Soucek’s arm. You can see the ball change direction. Was it deliberate and/or was he the last...
Saturday morning U12 problems coming to a professional league near you. :whistling:
Correct. I don’t do that unless you specifically tell me you want to do that. I also will not put you on the last game of the day unless you want...
I cannot tell you how many refs who live an hour away wanted a hotel room. The club asked me if I wanted to make that offer to get more refs and I...
