I swear we have the best seat in the house. AYSO u10B game, and it's a blowout. Blue trails Neon 0-11 with three minutes left. Blue #11 gets the...
We're watching the England-Haiti replay. At the end of the half, my wife notes that she's "never seen +9 before." I explain that since last year's...
Did someone post a video of the Quinn foul? I've looked and can't seem to find one. (turned on the game just in time to see the ass-chewing but...
I will chip in here too. Thank you MassRef, balu, and anyone else responsible for setting up the World Cup referee discussion threads. And thank...
We have strong refereeing and we have SPECTACLE!!
No. Clearly intentional trips or holds or handling or other violations of the LOTG have not been presumed yellow cards. Has to be some other...
Yes he did in fact get a yellow. Just not reported live.
South Korea goal in extra time. Jersey off, no YC.
3 fouls in the first 1:05. He's gonna have an active challenging game.
You are getting 8' Costa Rica, and you are going to like it!
Interesting stylistic difference from the Netherlands-Senegal game. He did not have to give the first card, but he drew the line and kept true to...
Best story of the week is that after nearly two years, due to covid, heart surgery, and fire evacuation (Caldor Fire), I finally returned to the...
So the goalkeeper striking the attacker in the neck/back of the head on the follow through of her punching the ball clear seems a foul, equivalent...

Yes, close. But appears correctly no cigar, France. Too bad, that was a pretty play.
Well Pitana and crew did help to orchestrate a great event. Lots of scoring, use of VAR, with some controversy. Thunder and lightning. And some...
I know this is a WC final, but in any of our games 2 guys rolling on the floor holding their heads after a collision are off for...
I enjoy working with the young referees on their first centers. Generally they already know the game as a player. Now we are beginning to...
I usually use "keep going".
...what we don't hear. AR2 on a u12G game. It's been a while since lines were painted, apparently, and also have had some recent rains. The...
Where was your Grade 6 while this guy was asking for his CR back? Especially knowing you are new, I'd expect the Grade 6 to cut that line of...
I took my initial AYSO referee class in 1999, and remember being taught to tuck the flag on the after-goal sprint up the line. Got told not to...
I once cautioned a high school goalkeeper for singing to the shooter. I forget now what the tune was, but I adjudged it was done in an unsporting...
I had the game on and was listening but not watching this part, so I did not see it. But it was an interesting big fish story, as in each telling...
Area AYSO all-star tournament this past weekend. Worked mostly U12 games. Got the middle for the U12G final. Where the other games were relatively...
