Eat more tacos.
I had a first today: I arrived for a HS game and was warming up, when the home team's athletic trainer came up and introduced himself. We're...
Not trying to be argumentative, but I'm confused by this, both literally and in practice. Literally, PSRA is open to "current, former, or...
Agreed. The players who are paying attention also saw the comments from the Commissioner this week and realized that MLS is in no hurry to resolve...
it seemed clear on the broadcast that the referee was waiting for instructions (though the commentators thought it was his decision). After...
[MEDIA] Peter Manikowski saying what we're sort-of discussing: "What I would say is that it's apparent to the union that this isn't about money...
Absolutely - but if you decided that your model was going to be "local-ish referees + professional VARs," you could train up 10 more people and...
A couple of observations after the first couple of weeks of this situation. First: members of this board accurately predicted that it wasn't...
I also saw this assignment get “announced” on Facebook by [some Nicaraguan referee group] a couple days ago - well before PRO was public about it.
if only there was a parent with an iPhone 11 who could’ve run up to you and shown you how you got it wrong! Sounds like you got to an...
I understand the point you’re trying to make about player salaries as a benchmark, but I can’t imagine that’s the primary thing used by owners or...
The "Officials live for the game" quote is used again in this Twitter post from today (hey, I have the same minisplit remote) - click on the tweet...
OK, I'm in a mood this morning, so I'll bite. @PSURoss, is there any other part of your life where you think it's ok to yell at a teenager or...
Also, since I'm sort of worried (with no actual information, to be clear!) that @coreyrock is going to come on this board in a month or so and...
BTW, the reminder for us referees is to wait to turn away from the ball in the case of potential conflict. I don't know what you could see on the...
Best Story/Worst Story: BU19 just-below-ECNL game: local team with beloved ex-MLS player coach vs travel team from across the state. 12 hours of...
because there is a 0% chance that Marrufo - who is right there and sees both the contact and the player going down - missed it and upgrades it to...
Men’s Juco. Fifteenth minute or so, Red 10 is dispossessed in grey’s PA, chases down the opponent and kicks him (deliberately, not too hard) in...
Yeah, I've called a couple ponytail pulls in Juco games over the years, for Fighting a few years ago and VB2 most recently. (Sent one girl off for...
I had no idea they were training referees at the WWC to bring players together to work through their differences like preschoolers around the...
It is on ESPN+ - and the CR is a second-generation referee, current DI college player, and proud Pacific Northwesterner. :)
When I’m centering a multi-lined field, I visually confirm the line color before or as we walk to the center before kickoff, and I always say...
I also have the 245 - I use it as my daily watch, for running, and for the Referee Watch app. Does some other things I don’t want or need and when...
FWIW I don't have any problem with a simple foul here. Black goes up in the air at an angle behind White, who's facing the ball and going...
So I'm sitting in a sports bar at 1pm today (having a salad!), and a guy walks in wearing the warmup shirt of the dominant local youth club, and I...
