Thought it was an easy call, too, one a Grade 8 crew would be expected to make correctly. The pass was predictable and straight-forward. Was...
Great post. I've been chuckling at all those considering the trifling encroachment as a "good call". I thought both goalkeepers held possession...

What about Daniel Palladini?
Re: Michael Bradley faces the uncertainty at Aston Villa [R] Don't think it's going to happen, but great idea. With no Holden or Mavies the poor...
Well, I think you are being a bit disingenous with your quote. The "spectator" in your quote is not someone running around, uninvited and...
Ok, I'll take a bite here. I'm a ref assignor, though obviously not Jayhonk's assignor, and I have no problem with his stance. In fact, he is...
It is difficult to admire "Sir" Alex Ferguson. His inevitable whining and criticising of refs when things don't go his way is not only odius but...
If the Fire can string 5 passes together they might have to bring back Kenn T. Pineda to Pappa to Paladini to Pause to Patrick to Puerari.

For those who may not know Daryl Shore & Infosport have run a soccer combine in Janurary for the last decade. Mostly college players who haven't...

This is how I saw it as well. Ball ricocheted off thigh into arm. Clearly not deliberate. How anyone can view this as deliberate is simply...
Thanks, NJ Ref, for leading this discussion on the correct path. You correctly point out that "making oneself bigger" is for the defenders, an...
As someone who must occassionally ref a U09 game, the local leagues discourage cards for U10 and below. The thinking is that cards don't mean...
I think many of the comments have been a bit harsh. The allegedly ex-pro guy issued a positive opening statement, what's the deal with jumping...
Great work, and of course, true. It would be difficult for anyone who loves the sport to have rooted for the Dutch. Ignore the annoying sore...
There was little honorable about the Dutch play yesterday. It began with van Persie's foul in the first minute, which should have been booked, to...
Re: Final Analysis: NED-ESP - Webb (ENG)
Re: Final Analysis: NED-ESP - Webb (ENG) You are correct in that the ref made mistakes, mistakes that, in general, made him an accessory in...
Ghana
Absolutely true. His anticipatory skills are outstanding. Line him up in a contest with all the other WC refs in a 50 yard race and no doubt he...
