I knew a guy who was a "high school sports official". I think he did volleyball in the fall and basketball in the winter, but he wanted to pick...
Congratulations and enjoy it. Tomorrow you'll be the worst referee a coach has ever seen.
It really doesn't matter what you were able to say 20 years ago, or 10 years ago, or even 5. You are refereeing today and you need to stick to...
The game got really choppy toward the end. Not that it was Penso’s fault at all, but she didn’t shine as much in the second half.
As soon as I saw the word mimeograph, all I could think of was the smell.
We are overdue for a card
Fixed it for you.
Hopefully the coach reported this incident to his/her club. This is a parent who needs an attitude adjustment before they return to the field.
Some idiot used to let his little dog run around on the local high school turf field. I scooped up dog $#!+ before games multiple times.
Will this be the first game without a card (given)?
I've had many games as AR where I had this thought, only to be proven wrong. If Germany lets up a bit or CRC finds their game, the second half...
A foul like that should come with an automatic 30 second runoff.:)
I wonder if the plan for referees was made clear to the teams in the tournament announcement and/or on the registration form.
Right or wrong, I was taught that as long as the ball was positioned on or inside the corner arc it was considered to be on the goal line....
I worked a game in a tournament a few years after the wording was changed where I was AR1, an older teen was in the center, and his mentor was...
Yeah, it's always a little embarrassing to signal the clock stoppage when the only clock is on your arm. Not that I've ever done that. :rolleyes:
This one is almost understandable if you try hard enough. If the AR was around the 21 yard line they would be more or less in line with all three...
I know we've covered this ground multiple times, but I still fail to see why some people (not necessarily socal or the OP) seem to think that...
Clearly you haven't refereed some of the schools/teams I have. :)
I understand the comparison, but the referee's job is to deal with players (and to a lesser extent, with bench personnel). Interacting with...
Does this mean that the referee needs to stop the game three times to get an abusive parent removed? • First warning – Telling the fan or fans...
That’s a weird look to have Turpin step over the player on the ground.
I effectively got an assist in a HSBV game by stopping a ball. The ball rolled into touch near the corner flag and I stopped it. An attacker...
But was she saying that the card makes sense or that the comment of the player made sense?
Also, if the issue is not wanting to pay taxes on the income rather than not being able to afford the tax bill, and you have the cash on hand, you...
