While everyone is entitled to an opinion - on this or anything else for that matter - it is quite ridiculous to have a poll where almost everyone...
There is no such thing as a "MLS Ref". There are USSF referees who happen to work MLS games. In the case of this game, not only were the refs...
Don't be ridiculous !!!!
actually he's done two or three Champions league games this season, as well as some Euro 2004 qualifiers. also the first Rangers-Celtic game of...
But you know how these things work - once people start seeing them getting worn at tournaments over Memorial Day, or July 4th, or they see them on...
You may be out of luck, Kev. The "freebie" that OSI gave out at National Camp this year was the Blue, so there's suddenly 250+ more referees...
Nice one, pkC. Very subtle.
Kev, actually the official agenda does list this - it's under the "Items for Discussion", labelled "Temporary Expulsion". Also, going back...
Easy - no need to panic - at least not yet. That specific proposal (by the Irish FA) was to have a discussion to consider the increasing...
At the pro level, you are not going to see a ref playing advantage, then when Scholes does not convert, going back and sending off the goalie on...
Grizzlie, that was absolutely NOT what was conveyed at Camp.
MassRef, just a point in clarification. The "official" line on the Beckham send-off in 1998 - as discussed by Esse Baharmast at National camp...

I think we are all in agreement here - the National camp/Regional Camp issue could have been handled better, and certainly needs to be more...
PRICELESS !!!!! Good luck to you - hopefully we'll cross paths somewhere, sometime.
whistle, I cant really disagree with any of that. I understand the feelings. Mine are very similar. Maybe just a little easier to take since I...
Thats a fair question, but anyone who was there could tell you that they (the coaches) participated fully, and seemed to really welcome the...
Jeff, I had seen this remark from you and was quite surprised - seemed to be a little inconsistent witht your normal tone. I wanted to reply...
Firstly I agree with billf - It certainly would be ludicrous to suggest that someone should move for the sake of furthering their referring career...
I agree with that statement and most of the rest of what you say. Also from what I heard the "elite" group for next year will be even more...
I believe it's partly because Camp has got too big,and partly because its felt that the top guys dont get the quality/level of instruction they...
Yes, together with those returning Nationals who are not in the "elite" group. That elite group will probably be no more than about 80 or so guys.
Not for the first time, MassachussetsRef got in before me, and again, he is correct :) The current USSF policy for this situation - when you...
I dont think you can. Unlike the USA, where you can buy the MLS jackets through OSI, FIFA and UEFA only give that stuff to the officials working...
Unfortunately, Ramesh still has a few years to go even if they dont scrap the retiring age. But there are a couple of good ones coming off the...
