Thanks for your detailed response.
A perhaps odd-sounding question: does anyone have an opinion about the abilities (or lack thereof) of Myriam Marcotte? I'd never hear of her until...
Celebrex is an NSAID, which probably rules it out for me. Everyone's favorite infallible source (Wikipedia) says that the effectiveness of...
Loads of fun when you try to do this with an electronic roster (sent via email) without shirt numbers. Even in less than pouring rain, I've ended...
50? Youngster. For various reasons, I can't take ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen. I have to make do with acetaminophen. Sigh. I used Mundials...
Based on recommendations here several years ago, I've been using Salomon Speedcross 5 shoes. I long ago aged-out of doing all-day tournaments, but...
I've no suggestions for professional (or competent amateur) games. For my youth games, when the keeper catches and then dives (as you describe),...
All 16 or so games I did were for schools with, at least, full high schools. Many also had grades 7-8, and some had younger kids, too. The three...
Something similar happened to me, although my skill level is surely much lower than yours. When in September I put my availability into the...
Hmm. Many (Most? All?) of the artificial turfs fields I've seen have signs declaring that no food or beverages (other than water) are allowed on...
Only once in my referee career have a done something resembling a dual. I plead extenuating circumstances. Turn back the clock to Mothers Day,...
Something I remind myself to do at the beginning of each season. With most (all?) Garmin apps I've tried, after an activity you can pull up your...
I've been lusting after the Garmin fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, currently a mere $900 from Amazon: "scratch-resistant Power Sapphire lens" "in GPS...
Price for the "Referee Watch" app by Winder is indeed only 5.6 euros. No doubt deductible for U.S referees who file a Schedule C. I share your...
Since mid-2018, I've used an app called "hreferee" for my Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music (which I've never used for music):...
I'm entertained that the ex-players are a majority of the review panel. The BBC had a couple of articles on this and related VAR topics....
I had thought that “immediately” was intended to apply to the situation in which the player accidentally handles the ball, gets some semblance of...
Consider the following ridiculous example: goalkeeper blasts an attempted clear; the ball smashes into an attacker, hitting an arm pulled...
Seems right. Consider a variety of situations after the “accidental handball” by the attacker, bearing in mind Massref’s warnings about how seldom...
For a variety of reasons unrelated to soccer, I haven't done any games since May. The gloves worked fine for me in early spring, being flexible...
Thread on gloves from March. I still like the ones I use.
1. Jurgen Klopp says "I deserved a red card." 2. Gary Lineker favors "issuing yellow cards for any form of abuse whatsoever." Jurgen Klopp red...
I haven't seen modern NFL stadiums anywhere else, so I have no real frame of reference. Seems OK to me. The old stadium in Foxboro was indeed a...
Interesting requirement for Gillette, which is about midway between Logan (Boston) and Green (Providence): for each, about 50 minutes or longer...
I have two: one with a WC2006 logo and the other, purchased a year or two later, without. Batteries have rarely needed replacing. Once upon a time...
