Miley afraid to say but you are spot on and thanks for that. This is why a member from across several ponds is a member here. I agree I am going to try a more friendlier approach if I choose to run this game, being there really is no one else. Shef and many others is amazed at where I referee...

Sometimes there is a team coached by a coach that really just loves to whine about everything which in turn teaches his players the same behavior. I went into my match today, knowing this was a banger of a game between the said team and another U14 team that has also shown me lots of dissents...

One player here who has finally moved onto college and off the rock was getting sent off at least twice a year and not always by me. A real piece of work and we all gave up with the verbal warnings. On his last game of HS having just finished my two shifts, I spoke to the young man and wished...

Wow! Unfortunately also a yes from halfway across the globe. And you wonder why we have such a referee shortage worldwide and why I take the matter seriously when anyone does this kind of stuff to any of our junior referees. The coaches lack training in my neck of the woods and the ones that are...

I know for damn sure I could not drag Shef away from the poolside Mai Tai bar! Its the one frequented by the flight attendants to boot!

I totally get that and from my observations these little turds are getting younger and younger. Had one two weeks ago, posted a spirit of the game and I too should have cautioned him after the game and then I see him again this weekend. He didn't play much cause it was their A team, wonder why!

Lucky most fans and coaches here are not very keen to the Laws!!!

I am just referencing his posting about his number of games. I know about how many games each and every one of us can do, I get that. What I take offense to is a fellow referee bashing referees while not refereeing.......

Pen, onside and straight red all the way!

Double wow!

Haha Shef...no but I am the one in charge of the refs and I am on a serious push. Good news is we now have more certified referees than we ever had before. I keep telling myself my load will lighten but not of yet! Still waiting for that day to come....maybe when I am 70!

Yeah totally learned from that one!

No foul or PK for me.

Wait until you get close to 50, such as myself and had to run 4 yesterday! One solo U12, two with AR's and than to top it off a U17 short sided game. Lucky I can walk but I will keep on keeping on until I cannot. Job well done!

Incident a few weeks back where I made a fairly serious mistake, luckily it did not matter in the end but I knew it and need to learn from it. Attacker one on one with the keeper, he beats the keeper inside the 6, keeper wraps him up a bit, not a full on tackle but enough to throw him of a bit...

Aloha everyone, I know its been a while for me on here. Been busy with the Spring season and none the less there have been no issues. I am the assignor, admin and first and foremost a referee. I have been thinking about the SOTG a lot lately and wanted to post up for some comments. We are a very...

Speak8ng of dives. Does this count? Player after receiving his second yellow dives to the ground and does the centipede. If you do not know what the centipede is please look it up. Its a type of primitive dance done with music. HAHA. This definitely may not qualify, but this young bloke did dive...

I did not read through all of the replies but great thread. Just today in the high school varsity boys match. We had a great crew, I chose to be AR2 because these coaches are a piece of work. I work the far side. We almost had two more fights today, one was very close. Late in a game, a...
