    Cheers to Mike, a fellow referee and fisherman.

    I've occasionally thought that when I go, I might like it to be either on the pitch or standing in the river waving a stick.

    Let's go for fishing (or for me, hiking with lots of extra equipment) as opposed to scaring the crap out of our U10s that day....

    I don't do U10's. And that's not the primary reason, but it's a good one.

    Sounds romantic, but in reality it is sucky and ugly. I've seen it up close twice. One lived, one didn't (Players, not refs).

    When I go I want it to be peacefully in my sleep, not screaming in terror like the passengers in the car he was driving.

    Preferably NOT on the pitch.

    Agreed, and I do hate to be a bother.

    Man screwed up that joke didn't I.

    When I go I want it to be peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in the car he was driving.

    Isn’t screwing up a joke fun? I was the MC for a high school fundraiser, and we had a kicker who had the third longest field goal in Georgia high school history. At the fundraiser, I said I patterned my golf swing after his kicking style. Now I can hit a golf ball just like he kicks a football. Straight down the middle and 60 yards. The golf coach said “that joke would’ve been a lot funnier if you had said drive a golf ball.“ “Drive a golf ball” is what I had been practicing all week. But I screwed up!
