I’m curious how much PSRA thinks that ARs need to be paid. Better yet, what should the “full time” annual pay of an MLS AR be? Then put...
Yes, I spent five years going to DA events because if you wanted to be seen and to improve your game, that was part of the deal. Yes, on the best...
I appreciate that PSRA won't be making their demands and pay known. But at the same time, neither will MLS, so the rest of us who are not in BU1...
Last minute - probably got a first class seat ;)
And to add on to my really long reply, I would say that I think PSRA has been very fair to say that the demands on refs and their families are...
It was a generic comment about over-estimating the strength of your position in a negotiation or in terms of the value that an organization places...
Why have Pro? Well, you and I and Massref and others have been around long enough to know why we have Pro and the dynamics that surrounded the...
Every referee has an ego. If they didn’t they would not be looking around and saying you know what, I’m as good as the guys above me and I can do...
Spot on RedStar. Everyone in every job is replaceable. Will the replacement perform immediately at the same level, not usually until they get up...
oh that would be cool and worth a trip to Zurich for.
Child protection training is very good at teaching people about what behaviors to look for and best practices to limit exposure of vulnerable kids...
@MassachusettsRef - I share your disdain for SafeSport as an entity. I truly do. That said, I think training and awareness are important for all...
I agree with much of what @Law5 said about SafeSport being rent seekers and a creation of the do something caucus in Congress. That said, the...
Hope it’s better than Assgnr. Assgnr seems like it would be ok if you have 1 or 2 assignors you work for, but it is simply not robust enough for...
I turned back some games last month bc a league was taking their time to process payments and I had an opportunity to pick up some cash games....
I searched and didn’t find anything about Assgnr Pretty sure I posted this before someone else buried it in another unrelated thread.
Well, it looks like our ref lives are going to be filled with some minor annoyances and frustrations over the next few months as our assignors...
Well that was a walk through time.
Got it. Thanks. I think I was looking for it in the assignment identity and forgot about the assessment one.
I tried to find mine a few weeks ago but they all seemed to have already disappeared.
a) you said this “I would probably check with the player and see what they would want done if just removing the offender is okay. Because if the...
Sorry, but when you go nuclear when common sense can and usually does prevail you are have lost the plot. Also, the player doesn’t get a say....
That’s the way to handle it. Let the parents have a chance to identify the problem parent and if they refuse, then clear the parents. Usually the...
Seriously? You would you throw out all of the spectators? There are ~20 to 40 other parents there to identify that person and ensure that the...
Been there, done that numerous times - the threat that is that everyone will leave unless the guilty party / parties leave. Usually takes a...
