So this obviously very talented 19 year old woman referee is followed and assaulted/ insulted in the parking lot after the game and some of us...
Haven't you ever noticed how far apart ARs eyes are set? It is an evolutionary type thing so we can keep an eye on everything. The AR has the...
If you wish to appear to be trendy, and not at all loonish, perhaps only boorish, position a bluetooth earpiece before the kickoff. Now when...
Might we not grant them a paean for not fouling? Regards, and more snickering.
I have a very different take on what happened, based solely on your description. You indicate: 1. You yelled to your team to set up for a corner...
I have long felt that the ATR version of playing in a dangerous manner was out of step with the rest of the world and with safe practices. The...
If true, this means that for about $330 each, six referees made every referee's calls more suspect to the players and fans everywhere. Thanks a...
Interesting. Not having seen the play, based completely on the descriptions provided, I would go with the call of the referee on the scene, which...
As a volunteer Dad with a whistle, small fields, U-8 or so, bright sun, I called for a throw in three times as the ball rolled over the side of...
I am pleased to see the younger folk planning for great things and continued promotions. Best of luck to them. At my time of life, with the...
Isn't it swell to make new friends who are also referees? Particularly knowledgable and affable ones? On the other hand, some meetings just do not...
Surely. For the defence regularly. For the attackers, an IFK would be possible- but never from closer than the six. Regards
No girl goons? You have never refed my daughter. Or some of her buds. Play clean, play fair, all is fine. Cheap shot one of her's, or theirs', and...
Lots of really helpful suggestions. I expect that is well over one hundred years of collective referee wisdom, and nothing not on point. Have you...
I am using the ATRs(1998) 12.35 restart chart on "offense committed on field by player against opponent" where they indicate DFK from site of the...
At the kickoff, as soon as the ball is in play, an attacking player without the ball rushes up to a defender and provides him with a glasgow...
SFP can only be against an opponent, while contesting for the ball, while VC can be against anyone, even one of us officials, on or off the field....
When the suits begin in ernest, why not sue the announcers for foolish and misleading comments, perhaps the opposing coach for his game plan, or...
Isn't there a catch in this line of reasoning? After all, if you are automatically 50% wrong on every call, the result would be a real minderbinder.
"Do you pontificate sanctimoniously at home as well on the Internet?" Quite frequently, in fact. Do you often find yourself with little of...
Having grown accustomed to out of control coach/ player/ fan stories, I suppose symmetry requires out of control ref anecdotes- but wait- doesn't...
What more should you look to before what? If you are a true fan, all you need to know is that the ref has done wrong to your team- no further...
As neither of us, theoretically, were there, how are we able to determine if the ref should have been giving out cards based solely on the...
theater is my life I wonder why you would not consider having the first two players run into each other, and then one draw a fake sword, and...
whoa, nellie It is very difficult, in my experience, to succesfully attack a cartoon character. Bad things always happen. The kicks and moves...
