Before online recerts, the in-person training done on Referee Reports indicated to type exactly what the player said for AL, as repulsive as it...
I get a hole as well in the heel area after 3 months of usage. I always have at least two "backup" socks (used and unused) and as soon as I do...
Rivero has more lives than a cat. After his 2014 arrest for unemployment fraud, he's a hard guy to root for on his "comeback" trail. I don't see...
It was well done, but I am the skeptical type. They had a referee killed there 10 years ago and didn't care back then. My suspicion is someone's...
They don't have my sympathy: 1) Many coaches are expecting a crew of Chris Penso/Corey Rockwell/Adam Wienckowski and some would still complain if...
It was irrelevant that it was his first foul. If you don't provide a caution, you risk ANOTHER retaliatory foul for not punishing the first one....
Good one. On a serious note, the ball went out of play at 92:50. I wish he had just blown the whistle seconds later despite the caution and...
I'm going to guess that many games nationwide are going to be canceled for Mother's Day (or have parents doing them if ROC allows) since many of...
It was hard not to notice the 4th official staring at his watch when the whistle was blown "early" and then they cut to the players celebrating.
Gee Beau, thanks for proving us with a link for the play :rolleyes:;). On the bottom of this post is the play being questioned at the 1:58:46...
In today's climate, I can TOTALLY understand why someone would just walk by and not want to do a "Question and Answer" session to a stranger....
The statement from Utah comes 9 years after a referee was killed there during a game. I think they're a little late to the issue. When referees...
You're doing your job to get all of the games assigned, but as we all know, these folks are not going to be mentally focused and physically sharp...
I've only had to terminate two games in my long officiating "career" due to either player and/or fan behavior. One was a club travel game and...
I can't speak for others, but I find that your posts with the videos are definitely educational and thought provoking. You should work for USSF.
The trend seems to be the same on these types of plays at this level where the 4th officials are useless. He would have had the best view to...
This was actually a question on the recertification test about 8 years ago when there were between 50-100 questions on the exam and before the...
Two yellow cards issued against the Red Bulls for dissent. Since NY's Casseres already had one, he wasn't able to commit a tactical foul vs the...
I have friends buying their kids a Mercedes as a high school graduation gift. I haven't heard the term "allowance" in a while, however, folks...
1) Several of the Revolution players immediately complained after the tying goal that the ball was not stationary on the free kick as a gust of...
No. Two replays immediately shown indicate a good challenge by Benzema. Donnaruma went down easily. Didn't charge into him and didn't push off,...
These are the ones I've been using the past 2 weeks (UA Liner 2.0): [IMG] They're actually heavier and thicker than the ones I used to wear on...
Sounds similar to my scenario last year. The guy was an AR for the first of a 3 game set and sent a text to me and the other referee that "there...
I think it's a broad statement. For higher level games, most of the "experienced" refs I'm with are hard working and dedicated with proper...
One of the few small-sided games I did was late last year a U11 Girls EDP match as part of a 3 game set. I was amazed at the skill level of the...
