In the few stadia I've worked with any sized crowd, the Sonic Blast works. Other whistles (and my Valkeen) get lost. YMMV. Speaking of referee...
Having acquired aValkeen, using it for a season prior to my dog chewing it do death, definitely not worth the money. Any $5-$10 whistle performs...
I don't think anyone thought to ask this question yet, so.... Were any of these "referees" wearing a 2014 USSF Badge? i.e. is this an...
Caution: be prepared if you leave it soaking overnight (my advice) for floatsam and jetsam in the morning that will make you gag. OP question: 2...
Not sure what the restart was? Does anyone know? Pretty clear to me (at any level of skill) that the ball was not in play (unless the Referee...
He did it when his wife wasn't looking...
I think we simply need to wait for the OP to chime in and give us more info and background here. And of course, the OP's role in the events....
I use the stater kit red card, because, mmm... it is red, not orangey-redish. For $2, not something I get to worked up about. I too have had...
I ran across this elsewhere today, and it made me think of your situation. Perhaps this describes accurately some of the people involved here:
Fine, I'll play. I'll freely admit that I'm LOOKING for a reason to send off the player. Having said that, if you don't agree with violent...
Creative or not, any match I do no longer has this knucklehead in it. I'm happy to be over turned later, and then I'll do the same the next time....
Violent Conduct kids.... highlights mine. ATR: I think that works.
Quiz time: what is the restart? As to when to suspend: we should look for reasons to keep the match going, not the reverse. Giving the goal...
High School student government. Some people just never grow up. Jenny said you said something not nice about Mary to Tommy. We will now destroy...
My last match of the year as a December, night time, 28 degree with wind, Women's scrimmage for an advanced college coaching license class. I was...
Ermmm. Is the rank hypocrisy not lost on anyone else but me? So this is THE bar that players wish us to hold THEM to? Sure, that works for me....
I recommend the Garmin 210. Cheap, works, looks like a watch, won't make you list to the left or right when you run. I wear it every match.
Now come on. That bag had a funk to it. That yellow long had the velcro coming off the pocket. All of your whistles were 5 years old and gross....
This would be a perfect opportunity for a historian to explain the genetics of the throw-in. Why was it created, what was the motivation for why...
"Oh! Sorry Sir, that bit is in the ATR not the LOTG. We'll wait right here whilst you return home and print out the ATR." ;)
This. Have your SRA send an email/phone to the receiving SRA and SDA outlining your CV. Help your SRA by sending them a summary of your CV...
Oh c'mon Ref! Blow the horn both ways! (..... toot toot ....)
For me: goal stands, the "two guys in yellow shirts" chickened out and did the wrong thing here. [Stick to your guns kids. Especially when it...
